Kartoon Studios is launching Kartoon Channel’s FAST Channel Video Game Heroes on Samsung TV Plus in the UK, Italy and Spain.

In addition, through a joint venture with Power Kids, Kartoon Channel will be offered in India. The new territories will provide Kartoon Channel with a footprint of over 1.5 billion new viewers, according to Kartoon Studios.

Kartoon Channel’s new Video Game Heroes channel features the company’s flagship series Kidaverse Roblox Rumble as well as iconic videogame brands, including Sonic X and Donkey Kong Country. The free channel is available via streaming service Samsung TV Plus on smart TVs, tablets and smartphones.

“Gaming is a popular way of consuming content for kids six to nine because it meets two key needs: escapism and connection,” said Paul Robinson, President of Kartoon Channel Worldwide. “Parents are seeking safe, entertaining content for their children to watch, and Kartoon Channel provides that environment. We have programmed the channel to deliver a diverse, gender-neutral community and give kids a gaming-led entertainment experience with which parents should feel very comfortable.”
