MTVNI Closes SpongeBob Sales

LONDON: Capping off a year-long 10th anniversary celebration, SpongeBob SquarePants has secured new broadcast partners through MTV Networks International (MTVNI). 

NRK of Norway and Switzerland’s RSI picked up new seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants. In Asia and Latin America, CCTV (China) closed a deal with MTVNI for seasons five and six, and Uruguay’s Teledoce also went for new episodes, which are all set to air from early 2010.
