Boat Rocker Rights secures key international sales for preschool animation.
Boat Rocker Rights has secured a raft of TV sales with key broadcasters for preschool show, Bitz & Bob for Canada, Asia and Europe.
New broadcast deals include TVO and Knowledge Network in Canada; EBS in South Korea, SVT in Sweden, NRK in Norway, YLE in Finland and Hop in Israel.
In addition, France Television in France and Fox Latin America have also agreed to air the series.
Bitz & Bob will start airing internationally later this year.
The high profile international sales follow the success of Bitz & Bob since launching on CBeebies in March, where it has already proved a ratings success. The series has been in the top ten shows on the channel since launch, while Bitz & Bob and Bitz & Bob You Can do It Too – the short form live action companion show – have been requested over five million times on iPlayer to date.
Jon Rutherford, president of Boat Rocker Rights, said: “Bitz & Bob has already generated significant buzz in the UK, and is proving to be a big hit with the audience.
“We’re thrilled that so many high profile broadcasters will be airing the show internationally and helping to inspire a new generation of kids who are excited about engineering, science and technology.”
