Shine International will manage international distribution for any series and other formats emanating from the deal. Prior to its upfront presentation this week, TLC said it is bringing back the American Chopper franchise. The series ran for six seasons on Discovery Channel, then later on TLC and had supposedly aired its final episode on February 11.
