A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM DISNEY JUNIOR

Cynopsis: Kids!
03.14.13

Good morning. It’s Thursday, March 14, 2013, and this is your first early morning briefing.

Today’s Top Headlines
We’ve got kids news covered for you daily during Upfront season…

Baby Steps: With a brand-new carriage deal with Cox Communications, Fox International Channel’s ad-free BabyTV is pursuing additional distribution in the States and launching loads of mobile apps. BabyTV currently has 600-plus carriage deals in 100 countries and 18 languages worldwide. Cox just added its Spanish-language channel to the MSO’s Hispanic tiers, and DirecTV recently introduced a 4-hour daily block on DirecTV in Latin America, bringing 4 million new subscribers, BabyTV global marketing director Maya Talit tells CynKids.
      The network got its first U.S. break via Dish Network, which launched BabyTV in February 2011. “The launch on Dish was substantial as it was the first time an affiliate in the U.S. market had made a baby network a part of its pay TV tier offering,” Talit says.
      Programming-wise, BabyTV launched 450 new episodes in 2012, according to Talit, and expanded its licensing and merchandising program Education, a joint venture with Kaplan International. It’s also beefing up its new Parentshood web site. With 15 apps and growing, the network’s most popular is the year-old BabyTV VOD, available in 12 languages and sold in 80 Apple stores globally. “We own our entire library of content and are therefore able to provide this content and service to parents with ease–all of our content on the go is behind a pay wall,” Talit says.

Programming News

The Teen Titans are ditching their capes in their new, re-imagined series for Cartoon Network. The half-hour animated Teen Titans Go! premieres April 23 to chronicle what happens when the crew is not saving the world. The series joins Cartoon’s Tuesday evening block and will be rebroadcast during the DC Nation Saturday-morning block. While the premise is new, the original Teen Titans theme song will return, with an updated remix from Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys.

Licensing News

Entertainment One (eOne) will launch its preschool series Peppa Pig in Korea on the Educational Broadcast System later this year, and has appointed licensing agent Cocoban to represent the brand in Korea. The first line of Peppa Pig merchandise is set to launch in the fourth quarter. Both the EBS and Cocoban deal were brokered by eOne’s new territory manager for Asia, Daniela Flower, who will oversee broadcast and licensing across all regions, excluding Japan, for eOne’s portfolio of entertainment properties.
