INTERNATIONAL MARKET: The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's (CBC) international distribution rights and properties have been sold to ContentFilm’s U.K.-based Fireworks International.

The deal is expected to close in the beginning of next year.

Launched on Voom HD’s Animania high-def channel in North America last fall, the interactive 3D animated series looks at sounds and their origins. An order has been given.
