Extreme Sports Channel Takes Target Titles

LONDON: A host of programs starring the Finnish stunt group The Dudesons have been secured from Target Entertainment for air on Chello Zone’s Extreme Sports Channel.

The daredevil foursome—akin to MTV’s Jackass pranksters—risk themselves for comedic, and often painful, entertainment. The acquisitions include The Dudesons Movie for France, the U.K., pan-European and Polish markets; The Dudesons season three, which consists of eight 30-minute episodes, for France; and season four, also 8×30-minutes, for the U.K.

Chello Zone has also added Target Entertainment’s one-hour The Men Who Jump off Buildings to the Extreme Sports Channel for Poland in October.

“The Dudesons are true heroes of our time and they embrace the high octane stunt action that Extreme Sports Channel loves to celebrate,” said Tim MacMullen, the general manager of Extreme Sports Channel. “The new series and one-off movie will make viewers laugh, cry, wince and cross their legs in discomfort—just don’t try it at home!”
