BKN’s Dork Hunters Continues Strong U.K. Performance

LONDON, September 22: In
its fifth week airing on GMTV’s Toonattik block, BKN International’s Dork Hunters ranked as the fifth highest rated show in all of
Britain with boys aged 4 to 9.

The show tied with
Disney’s American Dragon,
behind only Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants, Warner Bros.’ Scooby Doo and Batman and Cartoon Network’s Ben 10.

Mark Wilson, the head of
GMTV KIDS, said: "The Dorks are a very welcome addition to our top-rating Toonattik brand—the kids are cool, the fish is funny
and the Chihuahua makes me chuckle!"

"We are extremely
happy with these ratings and the fact that Dork Hunters achieved a 20.73-percent share (boys 4-9) proves
that the kids here in the U.K. are really enjoying Dork Hunters quirky humor," commented Nicola Andrews, the
managing director of BKN New Media in London. "The show has improved every
week since its launch on August 17. We now eagerly await the release of our Dork
Hunters merchandise into U.K.
shops."
