CCI Scores New Global Broadcast Deals for Erky Perky

TORONTO, May 12: CCI Entertainment has sold its 3-D animated kids’ property Erky Perky to several broadcasters throughout the world, including the Spanish-language network ¡Sorpresa! in the U.S.

The series has also been sold to TV2 Denmark, SRC in Canada and HBO Asia. The 52×11-minute Erky Perky features the adventures of two humorous, bickering and very lovable bugs, Erky and Perky, who are living an idyllic life on a downtown hotdog stand until they are accidentally thrust into a take-away hot dog bag and end up in a sterile kitchen with no food in sight. Erky Perky was broadcast in Australia on the Seven Network and ABC; and in Canada on YTV in October 2007. The series is a co-production between CCI Entertainment and Sydney-based Ambience Entertainment. Erky Perky now airs in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Ireland, Denmark, France and many Asian countries.
