*International expansion "Fix&Foxi" going further: Gibtelecom adds
"Fix&Foxi" channel to its new digital entertainment service "Sofi"*
*Munich, June 27th, 2018 - The children and family channel "Fix&Foxi" is now
available on Gibtelecom's "Sofi", digital entertainment platform *
Gibtelecom has announced the addition of "Fix&Foxi" Channel to its suite of
offerings. As of now, the 24-hour family friendly programs can be viewed by
all Gibtelecom customers in Gibraltar. "Fix&Foxi", the world's first channel
named after well-known comic heroes, owes this success to a high standard of
creativity and quality on a national and international level.
Award-winning "Fix&Foxi" channel (honored among others with the Eutelsat TV
Awards as the Best Children's Channel in 2016) is hosted by the adorable and
famous twin foxes. The channel has a blend of 2D, CGI animated and live
action shows with classic characters. Its first runs and brand new shows
will have equally enjoyed by kids from 3 to 13 years old, teens and also the
whole family. Furthermore, the channel shows fellow Kauka characters like
Fix&Foxi's cousins lovable Lupo and sweet Lupini, caring Grandma Eusebia,
chaotic Uncle Fax, and Professor Knox, the boys' absent-minded professor and
ingenious inventor friend. Of course, the funny family, Peppercorn family
with stubborn pet Makiki, last series produced by Rolf Kauka, won't be
missed either.
YFE owns a comprehensive catalog consisting out of more than 3.500
high-quality half-hour programs. The content is both entertaining and
educational. It includes many exciting series with full of adventures and
fun such as "Sherm!" (1 Boy + 5 Germs= infectious humour), "Mission Odyssey"
(the classic tale of Ulysses in a fresh new look), "Urmel" (he is neither a
dragon, a dinosaur nor a mammal), "Bobs Beach" (Shipwrecked in paradise -
it's a dog life!) or "RoboRoach" (the superhero cockroaches).
Laurence Robinet, Chief Broadcast Officer at Your Family Entertainment AG
