FremantleMedia Enterprises has announced it has sold another batch of UK and US programming in Asia ahead of the Asia Television Forum.
1,200 hours of programming have been sold across Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, it said.
They include Jamie at Home Christmas Special and Jamie's Kitchen Australia from Fresh One/Crackerjack, along with Silver River's Bringing Up Baby and Fat Man's Warning.
Other sales include Nigel Marven's Penguin Safari, Killer Whale Island with Nigel Marven and Arctic Adventure with Nigel Marven.
The distributor has also secured deals for Atlantic Productions' Tutankhamen: Secrets of a Boy King, The Mysterious Death of Cleopatra and The Sphinx Unmasked.
It has also been shifting numerous shows from the US to which it has international rights, including reality series Essence of Emeril from Bunim Murray Productions.
FremantleMedia's Asia vice president Ganesh Rajaram said: "It's a great testament to the quality and international appeal of FME's portfolio. We really are a one-stop-shop for broadcasters, as we can satisfy most, if not all, of their programming needs."
It has also been selling the 2008 Brit Awards worldwide.
