KidsCo to Air The Beach Crew

LONDON: KidsCo has picked up the rights to air 18 five-minute episodes of The Beach Crew across Australia and Southeast Asia beginning in June.

From The Beach Crew Productions, The Beach Crew follows the crime-fighting adventures of Billy Boogie, Sammy Surfboard and Mini Malibu as they seek to protect their beach from the dastardly plans of Cash Coin and Slimy Seaweed. The show joins KidsCo’s original production Boo & Me, which follows the adventures of an animated baby orangutan, on the channel’s Australian and Asia-Pacific feed.

Eileen McCarthy, the director of programming at KidsCo, said: “KidsCo is delighted to be airing this Australian production. It’s a really fun show with exciting characters that encourage kids to engage and learn about their environment so that they grow to respect and protect it. The Beach Crew is a great addition to the schedule and fits with our philosophy of delivering an educational experience that is also fun and stimulating.”

Simon Schauble, the managing director of The Beach Crew Productions, said: “KidsCo provides a perfect environment for The Beach Crew. The channel’s commitment to providing compelling content that parents can trust and that kids enjoy, reflects our own vision of creating programming that adds value to kids lives.”
