Channel signs deal with German distributor, Your Family Entertainment.
Children's channel KidsCo has signed a content deal with German distributor, Your Family Entertainment.
YFE's children's programming will be made available across Western Europe on KidsCo as of May including audiences in France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium.
It will also be available in Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique.
Shows added will include The Enid Blyton Adventure Series (pictured), Enid Blyton Secret Series and Swiss Family Robinson.
"The shows we have chosen from YFE's portfolio match perfectly with KidsCo's objective to broadcast content with international appeal," said Eileen McCarthy, programme director at KidsCo.
I am glad to learn that your shows include The Enid Blyton Adventure series as well as The Secret series. In fact, at some point, I discuss these two series in comparison with The Famous Five in my book on Enid Blyton, titled, The Famous Five: A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).
