Distribution360 Closes A Number Of Deals Post MIPTV

distribution360Following an incredibly productive  MIPTV 2012, Distribution 360 is pleased to announce that it has closed sales for three of its television programs. Leading the pack is Olive the Ostrich, a pre-school animated series for kids.  Originally produced by Blue Zoo for Nickelodeon UK, Olive was sold by D360 to BBC Kids, Knowledge Network (Canada) and TFO for French Canada. 

As well, continuing its international success, the This is Daniel Cook and This is Emily Yeung series were acquired by TV Film International in Latin America with Fatallah Films in the Middle East also attaining rights to This is Daniel Cook. On the factual side, AETN All Asia Networks obtained the television rights to the paranormal series Ghostly Encounters.

“There continues to be great interest for our programming, all of our hard work over the past year has paid off and buyers seem ready to acquire entertaining content,” said Kirsten Hurd, Senior Sales Executive, Distribution360. “In addition, we’re thrilled to continue finding great broadcast homes for our kids series and excited to help our factual programming expand it’s reach.”

Ghostly Encounters

Paranormal experiences aren’t just the domain of psychics and tarot card readers – in fact, many ordinary people believe they have experienced supernatural encounters. This series looks into those incidents and the regular folks-next-door who had them, and takes the viewer on a chilling ride through a fascinating, highly personal ghost story. There is no question that many people believe they have experienced otherworldly incidents, and Ghostly Encounters approaches each event not asking if it happened, but why it happened. Produced by Wraith Films Inc.

Olive the Ostrich

Olive the Ostrich is a CGI animated series for kids, originally commissioned by Nick Jr. UK, about a young ostrich named Olive who goes on fun adventures to all sorts of amazing imaginary places. Animators bring to life real pictures drawn and submitted by children, which are then integrated into the TV show. Inquisitive and enthusiastic, Olive loves to solve problems and help people whenever she can. She’ll try anything once, which can get her into trouble, but always finds fun and inventive ways of getting herself out of it. It is created, produced and owned by Blue Zoo

This is Daniel Cook and This is Emily Yeung

This is Daniel Cook and This is Emily Yeung are educational live action series where children join six-year-old hosts Daniel Cook and Emily Yeung on all of their exciting adventures, whether that be learning with Olympic gold medalists and rocket scientists or creating with award-winning musicians and painters.
