“With the addition of two A-List broadcast partners, Corus in Canada and Televisa in Mexico, we have significantly expanded the reach of Rainbow Rangers with maximum penetration across the Western Hemisphere,” commented Caroline Tyre, senior VP of international distribution and head of Genius Brands Network at Genius Brands. “Additionally, we are currently in negotiations with a number of other leading broadcasters around the world. This special series delivers fun, adventure and entertainment together with important positive messaging of empowerment and diversity.”

“Rainbow Rangers is a welcome addition to our schedule on Treehouse,” said Daniel Eves, senior VP of TV networks at Corus Entertainment. “We look forward to bringing Canadian viewers new preschool programming that emphasizes the values of friendship, environmental responsibility, and inclusivity.”
