Meanwhile, FAST channel Super Toons TV, which has been distributed on Samsung TV Plus since 2020, has struck a pair of carriage deals. TV set manufacturer TCL will run both Super Toons TV and Toon Mania on its TCL Channel worldwide, while an agreement with Xiaomi will see Super Toons TV run on the Xiaomi TV+ platform in European countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
Most of Kedoo’s platforms will be running Gormiti from this month. The show, based on the Italian toy franchise of the same name, follows four young kids – Riff, Ikor, Trek and Eron – who stumble upon an ancient fortress and find they must master powers and summon the legendary Gormiti to defeat the evil Darkens.
Kedoo co-founder and COO Olivier Bernard said: “Launching our new Super Toons app and expanding our FAST distribution enables us to reach new audiences, and build our networks and franchises around the world, expanding our fan communities for iconic properties such as Booba. We are ensuring kids and parents can enjoy entertainment in a safe, educational and engaging digital environment.”
Kedoo is best known as the owner of YouTube kids brand Booba, which has more than 19 million subscribers and has been sold around the world to various streamers and networks.
