Studio 100 Media and National Geographic have reached an agreement for the exclusive LATAM pay-TV rights of CGI animated series The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill.

The series is set to air on National Geographic’s new children’s multiplatform network Nat Geo Kids, targeting kids from 4 to 7 and*launching tomorrow, 1 July, across the Spanish-speaking territories. The signal will be released in Brazil in September.

The new network is to be distributed by FOX Networks Group, replacing Mundo Max across its entire portfolio.

“We are delighted about this first agreement with National Geographic in LATAM. Blinky Bill will be one of the first shows airing on this newly created kids Brand,” said Martin Krieger, head of global distribution at Studio 100 Media. “We are confident that our cheeky koala bear will entertain kids in Latin America with his hilariously funny adventures.”

“The launch of Nat Geo Kids is one of our biggest challenges, with the most demanding public, and we are very excited to share this opportunity with Studio 100. The Wild Adventures of Blinky Bill will contribute to develop the curiosity of the children through both exploration and entertainment,” pointed out Diego Reck, EVP, National Geographic Partners, Latin America.
