Fred Media, the successful content distribution business owned by WTFN has concluded a deal with Dabl for 120 hours of "The Living Room".  The iconic series is now being broadcast on the CBS Television Distribution’s new digital lifestyle network that launched in the US last September.

The deal was struck by Warren Sevel, Fred Media’s VP sales and development for the Americas, Australia and New Zealand.
