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.
