All My Children Heads to Australia

TORONTO: The Fremantle Corporation has licensed the long-running daily drama All My Children to Seven Network’s 7TWO digital channel in Australia, which will launch the show on January 18. 

All My Children, created by Agnes Nixon, is set in a quiet suburban community, where everybody knows just about everything about everyone else. The show has been on the air since 1960 on ABC in the U.S., and has sold into more than 20 countries worldwide. 

“Currently celebrating its 40th anniversary on ABC in the U.S., All My Children is generating much excitement,” said Randy Zalken, the president of The Fremantle Corp. “Not only is the production moving to the West Coast, but it will now be available in true high definition for the first time ever. Several other markets have embraced this Agnes Nixon classic which always manages to stay fresh and current. A new North American Internet initiative embarked on in the last quarter is already expanding into other territories further enhancing the show’s forward momentum. The Fremantle Corporation is honored to be representing this iconic series that garners such multi-generational viewer loyalty.”
