The shows will run on TC Ecuador over the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>The deal comes on the heels of the premiere of Xilam\u2019s preschool series <em>Paprika<\/em>, which bowed on Disney Junior last October across the region. Discovery Latin America is also slated to debut the company&#8217;s new kids\u2019 comedy <em>Mr Magoo<\/em>, which is based on the classic 1960s cartoon of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>Xilam has been expanding its online presence in Latin America as well, with the YouTube channels for <em>Oggy and the Cockroaches<\/em> and <em>Zig &amp; Sharko<\/em> boasting 30,000 and 580,000 subscribers, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Morgann Favennec, executive VP of global sales development at Xilam, said: \u201cAs we continue to build upon the global success of our portfolio, Latin America is of increasing importance to our business and presents a significant growth opportunity across our lineup of kids\u2019 animated comedies. This latest partnership with TC Ecuador highlights the universal appeal of our content, and we\u2019re thrilled to have secured our first local Ecuadorian broadcast deals for <em>Zig &amp; Sharko<\/em> and <em>A Kind of Magic<\/em>, in addition to giving audiences the chance to enjoy fun new adventures with <em>Oggy and the Cockroaches<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xilam Animation is growing its footprint in Latin America through a package deal with public broadcaster TC Ecuador.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":16111,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[4453,4005,4454,1867,2215],"class_list":["post-16110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-a-kind-of-magic","tag-oggy-and-the-cockroaches","tag-tc-ecuador","tag-xilam-animation","tag-zig-sharko","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Xilam Animation Sends Series to Ecuador - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Xilam Animation Sends Series to Ecuador - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Xilam Animation is growing its footprint in Latin America through a package deal with public broadcaster TC Ecuador.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-04-02T14:04:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-04-02T14:53:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2017\/07\/OGGY-XILAM-1018.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alison Skilton\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/\",\"name\":\"Xilam Animation Sends Series to Ecuador - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-04-02T14:04:28+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-04-02T14:53:58+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/xilam-animation-extends-into-ecuador\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Xilam Animation Sends Series to Ecuador\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/f590d4d1481b8cce2a066e89197c7550\",\"name\":\"Alison Skilton\",\"description\":\"Alison Skilton is an associate editor of World Screen.
