Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Lands in Czech Republic, Slovakia

4K Media has licensed the first five seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters to the new channel Tuty for broadcast in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Seasons one through five of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters will be available to children and teens in the Czech Republic and Slovakia via Tuty, a new 16-hour Czech-language channel that offers animation and other content. In addition, 4K Media extended its relationship with Chile’s ETC TV, which licensed Yu-Gi-Oh! GX seasons one through three. The series began airing on ETC TV on June 26.

“Tuty presents an incredible opportunity to introduce and extend the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand to audiences in Eastern European markets,” said Kristen Gray, the senior VP of operations and business and legal affairs at 4K Media. “We’re very excited to be partnering with Tuty, premiering Yu-Gi-Oh! from the very first episode of the very first series and growing the brand along with Tuty’s audience.”

Tuty’s head of anime content, Honza Gajdoš, added, “Yu-Gi-Oh! is an evergreen success around the world, regardless of language or culture, and we believe the youngsters of the Czech Republic and Slovakia will also relish this adventurous and engaging anime series.”
