Mediatoon Distribution has sold its joyful preschool series The Fox Badger Family, commissioned by France Televisions, to over 25 new broadcasters. The 52 x 12’ show, commissioned by France 5, is ranked in the top 20 in France and has already seen huge success on Kika in Germany where it has won 63.7 per cent of the audience for preschoolers aged three to five.
The free TV channels that have snagged the show include TV Brazil, CCTV-14 (China), Télé-Quebec (Canada), RAI Yoyo (Italy), SVT (Sweden), RTBF/Ouf Tivi (Belgium), RTS (Switzerland), TVP-ABC (Poland), NRK Super (Norway), YLE (Finland) and RSI (Switzerland).
