Ameba Adds New Spanish-Language Series to Offerings

WINNEPEG, September 23: Children’s
IPTV service Ameba has signed a deal with Barcelona’s Sol 90 to distribute Great
Civilizations
, a Spanish-language
animated series, on AmebaTV.com.

AmebaTV.com, a portal
designed to deliver children’s entertainment directly to viewers via the
Internet, will offer Great Civilizations in a variety of program lengths, from interstitials to full episodes.
The series targets 8- to 12-year-olds, and was created to inspire children to
learn more about the civilizations of our past.

"This is an ideal
destination for foreign-language content, and for producers and content holders
to gain entrance into the North American market," said Ameba’s president,
Tony Havelka. "The market is eager for foreign-language entertainment and
we are excited to have Sol 90's contribution to this important programming
category in our developing library. This underscores our mission to offer a
wide range of programming in a variety of languages."
