Pre-school show commissioned for another season by CBC in Canada, plus more international sales made.
Kids and family entertainment specialist, Decode Enterprises has made further international sales of Halifax's pre-school series Bo on the Go.
The show has also been commissioned for a third season by CBC in Canada, where it is currently one of the broadcaster's highest rating pre-school shows.
Decode has sold season one to Rai Sat and season two to the Disney Channel Spain. MNET/KTV in South Africa and TG4 have taken TV rights for both seasons one and two, while Prava I Prevodi has acquired home video and broadcast rights for both seasons for Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro.
These deals follow on the heels of a recent sale of both seasons to France 5 and further sales to Cartoon Network (India, Taiwan and the Philippines), Digiturk Jojo (Channel 66), Al Jazeera Children's Channel Arab speaking version, Finland's YLE and KidsTalkTalk in Korea for both seasons one and two.
"Bo on the Go is proving very popular with broadcasters looking for strong pre-school programming with a 'get up and go' message and we will be looking to score further sales for the series, including the new episodes, at Mipcom," said Josh Scherba, director of sales at Decode.
