RTL II has acquired an extensive
cartoon program package from Warner Bros. International Television
Distribution. The package will be broadcast as a one-hour program block
Monday through Friday under the title Kids' WB starting January 2004
on RTL II. The package includes popular Warner Bros. animated series such as "What's New Scooby-Doo?",
"¡Mucha Lucha!", "Duck Dodgers", and "Ozzie & Drix", as well as
classics like "Steven Spielberg's Animaniacs," "Steven Spielberg's
Pinky & The Brain," "Tom & Jerry Kids Show," "Flintstones Kids Show,"
"Cow & Chicken", and "Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries".
RTL II and Warner Bros. International Television Distribution
are planning a joint marketing campaign to introduce this
program block in Germany, which is unique in this form so far.
"Warner Bros. Entertainment has one of the largest and best
cartoon archives," said Jeffrey Schlesinger, President of
Warner Bros. International Television. "The series in this
agreement are among our most popular and will certainly
resonate well with RTL II viewers."
Sander Schwartz, President of Warner Bros. Animation, added:
"The German market is extremely important for our industry,
and we are very pleased that so many of our key and
successful series will be broadcast on RTL II."
RTL II Managing Director Josef Andorfer: "We are very excited about
the collaboration between RTL II and WBITV. This new
program block Kids' WB in the children's programming will undoubtedly be a
tremendous success with our young viewers."
Dr. Sylvia Rothblum, Managing Director of Warner Bros. International
Television Distribution for the German-speaking region, represented
WBITV in the negotiations; Andrea Lang, Head of Children's and
Animation Programming, led the negotiations on behalf of RTL II.
Warner Bros. International Television Distribution is one of the largest
licensors of television content worldwide—over 43,000
hours of programming are translated or subtitled into more than 40 languages
and licensed in over 175 countries.
