TORONTO/LONDON, June 9:
DECODE Enterprises has licensed Franny’s Feet to PBS KIDS Sprout for launch July 4 at noon in a
special 90-minute block as part of the network’s Summer Fun Fridays.

The following morning the

and Sunday in Sprout’s weekend morning block, The Let’s Go Show, and every day at 3 p.m. in The Sprout Sharing
