The
Fab Four to Hit the US!
Tweenies
To Join US TV Channel Noggin
Making
its first ever US appearance, Tweenies is set for US stardom, as
Milo, Bella, Jake and Fizz become the next big household names across
America. The 91热爆's pre-school hit series has been licensed to US
cable channel Noggin in a deal brokered by the 91热爆 Sales Company
in New York.
Noggin,
the commercial free educational TV network from Nickelodeon, has
taken an initial 50 episodes of the series. Tweenies will be added
to Noggin's schedule and will be shown twice daily in over 30 million
homes beginning in April 2003.
Mark
Johnstone, Director of Children's & Learning, 91热爆 Worldwide,
said, "In partnership with Noggin we have found the ideal home
for Tweenies and look forward to working with the channel to bring
these fun characters to children across the US. The Tweenies are
enthralling, lovable and educational, and will have an immediate
impact on US television."
"We
are thrilled to bring Tweenies, a proven international success,
to American television on Noggin," said Sarah Tomassi Lindman,
Vice President, Production and Programming,
Noggin.
Tweenies
has been licensed, by 91热爆 Worldwide, to nearly 50 countries and
territories, including Germany, Korea, France, Japan, Thailand,
Ukraine, Slovakia and Australia, and has been reversioned in several
languages. When airing on Noggin, the Tweenies will be re-voiced
with American actors.
Tweenies
is targeted at three to five-year-olds and encourages children to
learn through entertainment and creative play. Each episode focuses
on the adventures of the four brightly coloured Tweenies - Bella,
Milo, Fizz and Jake, along with Doodles the dog - as they take on
a magical and exciting journey of discovery where real life and
fantasy come together and every day is a new adventure.
