UYoung has licensed multiple shows to CCTV, China\u2019s state-owned broadcaster, for its CCTV-14 children\u2019s channel.<\/p>\n
The package includes two seasons of Messy Goes to Okido<\/em>. Produced by Doodle Productions and Eye Present in the U.K., the comedic adventure series features science-education elements targeted to 3- to 5-year-olds.<\/p>\n Three seasons of Mia and me<\/em>, from Studio 100 Media & m4e, and two seasons of the STEM-based animated series Space Racers<\/em> are part of the pact as well.<\/p>\n Clara Yang, VP of international business at UYoung, said: \u201cThe licensing of these three standout series to CCTV and the continued ratings success and time slot of Kazoops<\/em> further demonstrate UYoung\u2019s position as the leading kids’ and family entertainment company in China. With an innate understanding of the Chinese broadcast landscape and parents’ desire for high-quality shows with strong STEM or socio-elemental themes for their children to watch, we are perfectly positioned to help our carefully selected partners gain a foothold in this hugely important market.\u201d<\/p>\n Peter Kleinschmidt, international commercial director for Studio 100 Media & m4e, said: \u201cWe are very pleased about our successful collaboration with UYoung in China and their ongoing efforts bring our show Mia and me<\/em> to CCTV and a broad audience in China. Now we\u2019re hoping that Chinese kids will love Mia and the unicorns\u2014and there will be more to come since a fourth season is already in production and a feature film in the last stage of development!\u201d<\/p>\n Michael Matays, CEO of Space Race, added: \u201cWe are excited about the forthcoming launch of Space Racers<\/em> on CCTV as we continue to expand our audience in China with the support of UYoung\u2019s deep relationships in media distribution and licensing.\u00a0 Curiosity is a cultural constant in all children around the world, and we have seen the Space Racers<\/em> brand embraced universally, with organic STEM and space science lessons woven into fast-paced and entertaining stories. With this summer’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing, we look forward to inspiring the next generation of space explorers.\u201d<\/p>\n Genevieve Dexter, CEO of Eye Present, commented: \u201cWe\u00a0 know that the style and STEM themes of Messy Goes to Okido<\/em> have resonated in China on several AVOD channels, and we are excited about\u00a0 the expanded reach of CCTV and for Messy to connect with children in China.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UYoung has licensed multiple shows to CCTV, China\u2019s state-owned broadcaster, for its CCTV-14 children\u2019s channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":16650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1783,1899,909,1407,1932],"class_list":["post-16649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cctv","tag-messy-goes-to-okido","tag-mia-and-me","tag-space-racers","tag-uyoung","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
