Streaming TV aggregator and curator, FreeCast has signed a deal with Genius Brands International to bring the popular children’s channel, Kartoon Channel!, to the SelectTV channel and SmartGuide-platform.
This move comes as FreeCast is continuously adding a growing number of channels to its support. From the beginning of 2020, FreeCast has been expanding its programming as well as adding several channels to the SmartGuide Discovery Engine. With the new deal, FreeCast will be able to offer not only content for children and families, but programming that is as educational as it is entertaining.
Commenting on the new deal, FreeCast CEO William Mobley said, “The Kartoon Channel! is a great addition to our service. We work hard to make sure we have content that caters to everyone, all age groups, the whole family. High-quality channels with recognisable content, and that’s exactly what we’re looking for as we continue to improve our offering.”
Aimed at kids two to 11-years-old, Kartoon Channel! gives access over 4,000 episodes of enriching and educational content anytime, anywhere in a safe environment. Under this deal, Kartoon Channel! will be available to SelectTV subscribers, without any ads.
Kartoon Channel! International Distribution head and SVP Caroline Tyre added, “Our partnership with FreeCast provides us with a tremendous opportunity to further expand our reach through their SelectTV and SmartGuide services to deliver our premium content to kids in the US and Canada.”
Kartoon Channel! is owned by Genius Brands, that provides premium content for children and families on leading broadcasters around the world, as well as its own digital channels available on major cable and satellite systems, and other online distribution platforms.
