Silver Spring, Md — Discovery Communications introduced three new key series that will be available at MIPTV which profile characters who “go against the odds”—Flying Wild Alaska, Boomtown and Last American Cowboy. This unique offering of programmes showcases engaging individuals making a living in extraordinary circumstances: from the high-stakes business of air cargo in Alaska, to the polarizing impact of the oil boom in a small town in North Dakota, to an inside look at the struggles of a classic American profession. “For more than 25 years, viewers have turned to Discovery for portraits of fascinating—yet relatable—real-life characters living and working in extreme situations,” said Nicolas Bonard, Senior Vice President, Discovery Enterprises International. “Flying Wild Alaska, Boomtown and Last American Cowboy each offer a fresh look at opportunistic and resourceful individuals in today’s world surviving and thriving—against all odds.”
