Canadian gay travel series expands to U.S. and France

The Canadian producers of the gay travel series Bump! announced that the show has been picked up for a second season on Canada's PrideVision TV and that it will also soon be seen by audiences in the United States and France. The U.S. network Here TV and France's PinkTV have signed on to air Bump!'s first season of 26 half-hour episodes. "We are excited to be airing on the world's three biggest gay TV networks reaching millions of people in Canada, the United States, and France," said co-executive producer Les Tomlin in a statement. "The gay and lesbian TV audience has been largely untapped until now, and Bump! is thrilled to be involved in this groundbreaking new television market that is expected to grow internationally very rapidly."
