Nerd Corps, YTV Team for Multiplatform Launch of Storm Hawks

TORONTO, June 12: Nerd Corps Entertainment’s
new original 3-D animated series Storm Hawks will launch on mobile, online and on-demand platforms prior to its
Canadian broadcast premiere this September on YTV.

The 52×30-minute series will
debut on Saturday, September 8, at 10 a.m. as a one-hour special in YTV’s
hosted cartoon block Crunch. Beginning
Wednesday, August 1, until its exclusive Canadian broadcast debut on YTV, a
free preview of the one-hour premiere episode will be available on other
platforms, including YTV Spotlight, the Rogers YTV On Demand service, as well
as online at YTV.com. Trailers, online games, character bios and streaming
episodes will also roll out this summer on the Storm Hawks website and on YTV.com. Leading up to the launch, Storm
Hawk gliders created by master toy company
Spin Master will be given away to kids during YTV's cross-country WOW! tour. Storm
Hawks follows five mismatched teens armed
with high-octane transforming flying motorcycles who fight the nastiest
villains ever to hit the skies.

"We are very excited to
have a broadcast partner like YTV backing this show," said Nerd Corps’ CEO
and founder, Asaph Fipke, who also created the series. "Corus had the
foresight to support the development of Storm Hawks across a range of platforms from day one, since they
share our belief that kids want to have an innovative experience absolutely
everywhere. They've been instrumental in bringing a great Canadian-made
property to the world both online and on-air."
