TODAY’S TOP NEWS

After opening its doors to ad sales and promotional opportunities in the States earlier this year, Turner is re-launching Cartoon Network sibling Boomerang as a global animation network grounded in classic toons (like Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo and Powerpuff Girls) but including for the first time exclusive acquired regional and local series. The network bowed in Latin America Sept. 29 and will kick off in Australia Nov. 3, followed by the U.S., EMEA and APAC regions in 2015. Beyond its availability in more than 250 million homes, Boomerang will be supported via digital and mobile platforms, including a refaced website featuring exclusive content.

In related news, Cartoon rebranded its smartphone offerings under the moniker CN Anything. The app, stocked with short (10-15 seconds short) programming meant to be viewed on the go, is available for both iOS and Andriod devices. The content mix includes ranges from snippets from shows including Adventure Time, Regular Show and Amazing World of Gumball, and games, quizzes and puzzles targeting the net’s core Boys 6-11 audience. McDonald’s has signed on as launch sponsor; the fast fooder initially will have sponsored messaging and banner ads throughout the app. Native ad content is on the horizon for the app, according to Cartoon execs.

And in weather news, DHX Media is bringing the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs franchise to the small screen. In a new deal with Sony Pictures Animation, DHX will develop and produce 26 22-minute episodes and will have global television and non-U.S. home entertainment exploitation rights to the property; Sony has U.S. rights. DHX also has merchandising for the television series on a worldwide basis. The 2009 comedy and its 2013 sequel, both produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures, grossed a combined $510 million in theaters. In a new twist, the TV series takes place before food comes raining down on Swallow Falls.

Family entertainment company DRIVER Digital will premiere The Story Circle on its Cool School YouTube channel on Oct. 16. The 16-episode series will star popular YT millennial mothers narrating animated children’s stories. Among the YT talent: Judy Travis from ItsJudyTime and Its JudysLife (460 million views and two million subscribers), Brittany and Austin Null of TheLiveNulls, April and Justin Moore of AprilJustinTV. “This new generation of millennial moms/parent influencers has earned enormous levels of trust from their fans,” DRIVER’s Head of Audience Development Mike O’Connor said. “We believe that trust will extend to recommendations for kids’ programming as for brands that are seeking to connect with this audience.”

Multi-channel network AwesomenessTV announced a new publishing arm, called Awesomeness Ink, to publish books based on its YouTube series. As of yesterday, Runaways and Side Effects will be available as books in stores and as eBooks. “Teen lit is a huge category and with Awesomeness Ink we are creating a platform for creators focused on the written word in the same way we have served video creators with the AwesomenessTV,” Chief Operating Officer Brett Bouttier said.

TIME OUT WITH… LITTON’S DAVE MORGAN

If you’re scanning channels on a Saturday morning, it’s hard to miss programming from Litton Entertainment. The production house and distributor owns the weekly time slot on ABC, CBS and, most recently, The CW, with an evolving stable of content including the recent additions of The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation to the CBS Dream Team, It’s Epic lineup, and Reluctantly Healthy to the CW’s One Magnificent Morning lineup. Litton chief Dave Morgan schools us on Saturday morning strategy.

The evolution of Saturday morning

When we were kids, Saturday morning was not a demographic that was conceived by producers or parents; it was conceived by corporate executives who wanted to sell toys. It’s not about that anymore. The change came in 1996 when the FCC and Congress required [broadcast networks] to have three hours of educational programming on Saturday mornings. And then we added in ratings, and the “EI” rating for [educational and informational] came in. Sony proved you could get an audience to watch something that wasn’t animation and could even foster co-viewing, with Bill Nye. As dumb luck would have it, Litton was involved with Jack Hanna.

Educational with capital E?

If you have a program a 13-year old says he’s watching because it says “EI” in the corner, you have failed at making an exciting show. It doesn’t matter whether it says Educational, people love Jack Hanna because they love Jack Hanna. Litton has done a lot to make EI relevant and cool, but it’s about the programming. Kids don’t watch a television station; they watch programming.

Lessons in learning

Classroom learning can be based on building blocks. Television doesn’t have that luxury; it has to deliver the educational impact immediately. It’s very academic for us now, in terms of what the formula is. In the case of ABC, it’s the word around you. For CBS, we draw on the world that’s within you, and who you are historically.

Extending beyond the family room

We’ve created great relationships with Hulu, Amazon and most recently with CBS Interactive for digital platforms, and over the next year we’re going to announce some additional interactivity. Here’s a wink and a nod… I watched my daughter, who’s now 25, play with that little egg, the Tamagotchi. She was obsessed with it, and I’m thinking about how we can take that [connection] and do something today.

 

MORE KIDS NEWS

9 Story Entertainment is turning a new chapter. The company is rebranding as 9 Story Media Group, a move that comes shortly after ZM Capital and media entrepreneur Neil Court became equity investors in the organization. “While producing and distributing shows remain absolutely central to our business model, the new name better encapsulates our vision to become a global leader in kids and family focused IP,” said Vince Commisso, 9 Story President/CEO.

Studio 100 Media extended its existing partnership with global distribution company Comarex. The three year extension encompasses exclusive distribution rights for Studio 100’s catalog including Maya the Bee, Vic the Viking and Blinky Bill–within the TV and home entertainment sectors for Latin America as well non-exclusive rights for the Spanish-speaking U.S.

DIGITAL UPDATE

On the heels of its U.K. series premiere, Sesame Workshop will make full episodes of The Furchester Hotel available on YouTube for free; the Workshop’s YouTube channel will be the global host for the show. Beginning Nov. 14, a new episode will roll out every Friday making it “Furchester Friday’ on Sesame Street’s YouTube channel.

Flair and Disney teamed-up with U.K. Twitter specialist UKMUMS.tv to create a Doc McStuffins promo that reached 1.8-plus million unique accounts with 13.8 million impressions in one day, earlier this month.
