MIPJunior Spotlight: Australian Children’s Television Foundation

CANNES: Two Little Lunch specials will be on offer from the Australian Children’s Television Foundation (ACTF) at the market.

“One special has a Halloween theme, and the other focuses on graduation day,” says Tim Hegarty, the company’s international sales manager. ACTF is also promoting the preschool series Balloon Barnyard, which follows two humble donkeys with superhero ambitions, and a new season of the sketch comedy You’re Skitting Me, featuring an all-new cast and a shorter format.

“The three new programs launching at MIPJunior and MIPCOM are just about as diverse as they come, so whether buyers are at the market looking for content aimed at preschoolers, the 6-to-10s or the 10-to-15s, they’re sure to find that one of these shows meets their requirements,” says Hegarty. “With everything from comedy to drama, short-form animation to documentary/factual series, the ACTF has something to suit all broadcasters of children’s content.”
