UKTV in Wall to Wall deal
Article Abstract:
UKTV has purchased "Who Do You Think You Are?" from independent television producer, Wall to Wall. The television program was being broadcast on BBC2. UKTV is a joint venture of BBC with Flextech. What is unusual is that the joint venture purchased the series directly from the indie rather than through BBC Worldwide, which is BBC's commercial branch.
