Survival bows out on 6000 PBS transmissions

← Back to news listing

Our 4 x 60′ version of our series Survival, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has reached the end of its 8-year run on PBS. It has notched nearly 6000 programme transmissions across 176 PBS stations – meaning each one repeated the series and average of 8 times.  35% of all the tx slots were prime time or prime shoulder. 

A big thank you to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for making it happen and OPB for handling distribution so brilliantly.

The series was delivered to OPB on on tape. Anyone remember that?
