More4 in the UK, National Geographic in Poland, Discovery in Canada and Foxtel in Australia are among the broadcasters to have picked up WildBear Entertainment-produced history and engineering content.

Further history titles Total War (6×60’), which has gone to A&E Networks in Sweden and BBC Studios in Africa, and 101 Events that Made the 20th Century (8×60’), which has been taken by AMC Networks for Central Europe, Germany’s Spiegel TV, Novo Media in the Middle East and Roku in the US.
