Jetix and 4Kids Entertainment Finalize US Broadcast Cable Deal for Chaotic(TM)
4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: KDE) announced today that Jetix, a
television programming brand aimed at kids (ages 7-13), has licensed
U.S. cable television broadcast rights for the popular animated series, Chaotic.
Chaotic will air on the Jetix Block and is anticipated to launch
October 2007.
"We are extremely delighted to forge this
important relationship with Jetix that will ensure significant added
broadcast coverage in the U.S. for the Chaotic animated series,”
said Brian Lacey, Executive Vice President International for 4Kids
Entertainment. "We are confident that the
series will develop a strong and loyal kid audience with Jetix in the
states, as well as Latin America.”
The Chaotic series will continue to air on weekends in the U.S. on 4Kids
TV – 4Kids’
four-hour Saturday morning programming block on Fox Network –
and is available for viewing on the Comcast VOD Channel. The Chaotic
series is also broadcast in English on Teletoon in Canada, with a French
language broadcast scheduled to begin this month.
In addition, 4Kids has licensed the popular series to Jetix Latin
America for pay satellite TV rights in that region.
4Kids partnered with Teletoon Canada and Bardel Entertainment to produce
the high definition, 3D CGI animation series. Bardel Entertainment is an
award-winning Vancouver-based animation company whose clients include:
Dreamworks SKG, Warner Brothers, Fox, Nelvana and Disney Interactive.
The Chaotic series follows two teenage boys who discover that the
Chaotic Trading Card Game™ they’ve
been playing is more than a game … a whole
lot more! A secret portal transports them to Chaotic, a parallel
universe where the boys find themselves right in the middle of the
action where the game comes to life. They quickly realize that the
unique codes on their trading cards are actually scans of real, living
creatures with unique powers from the realm of Perim. The boys then use
these fierce and fascinating beings to help further their gaming skills
as they capture the codes of new creatures, new battle gear –
even new locations in which to compete.
