Frantic Films’ popular reality series Til Debt Do Us Part is headed to US cable channel CNBC, following a deal reached on behalf of the producers by Toronto’s Picture Box Distribution.

The sale gives Debt – which previously aired stateside on the smaller American Life TV Network – more prominent exposure in the US on CNBC, which reaches 97 million American homes. Debt, which airs here on Slice, will premiere on CNBC on Saturday. Produced by Winnipeg-based Frantic in association with Canwest, it follows financial guru Gail Vaz-Oxlade as she uses tough love to help families get to the bottom of their destructive spending habits.
