Multiplatform digital distribution network The Orchard is beefing up its children’s offerings. As part of a new exclusive agreement with Scholastic Media, beginning this week Clifford the Big Red Dog and Goosebumps are available in the iTunes Store for distribution via The Orchard, which operates in more than 25 global markets across hundreds of digital, physical and mobile outlets. Other classic Scholastic TV series will be rolled out in the coming months via The Orchard to other digital stores, including Microsoft Xbox, Vudu, Sony Entertainment Network, Target Ticket, M-GO, YouTube, and Google Play. The Orchard will also distribute new custom video compilations of popular Weston Woods animated stories such as Chicken Little, The Snowy Day and Wheels On The Bus, all for release through digital retailers later this year. “We are delighted that The Orchard will serve as our distributor, thereby expanding our content reach to children and families,” says Deborah Forte, president of Scholastic Media and EVP of Scholastic Inc. Other Scholastic programs that will be available digitally in the coming months include Clifford’s Puppy Days, The Magic School Bus, I Spy and Maya & Miguel.
