*Your Family Entertainment AG enters into extended kids content partnership
with Blue Ant Media's ZooMoo Networks*
_Synergetic partnership includes exchange of kids content across YFE and
ZooMoo Networks platforms. _
Munich, 16 June 2020
*Your Family Entertainment* (YFE), a leading German kids content company
announced today a strategic content partnership with international producer,
distributor, channel operator, *Blue Ant Media*. The partnership will see
the two platforms share exclusive content, including programming from Blue
Ant Media's kids channel *ZooMoo Networks* ("ZooMoo") and YFE's extensive
library of high quality children and family programs.
Blue Ant Media will add YFE's original content to ZooMoo Networks, its
interactive, children's nature broadcaster. ZooMoo's program portfolio
combines spectacular wildlife footage with puppetry, animations and
narration, providing a unique viewing and learning experience for preschool
viewers. ZooMoo will feature select programming from YFE's award-winning
library including animated childrens series _Gloria's House_, which features
a strong-willed little girl and her cat and _Albert Says: Nature Knows
Best_, which teaches kids about nature and the environment. ZooMoo's
audience will also have access to kids comedic series _Bob's Beach_, which
is about a city dog, shipwrecked on a deserted island and _Urmel_, based on
the famous German YA novel.
Likewise, YFE will broadcast a great selection of ZooMoo's catalogue on its
international kids- and family pay-TV channels, Fix&Foxi and RiC, including
the award-winning, live action series, _Kooki's Crafty Show_, which will
introduce YFE's audience to a wacky, peppy red panda who inspires kids to
unleash the wild side of their creativity and the animated series _Jelly
Jamm_, which celebrates music, fun and friendship. Additional ZooMoo series
available to YFE through this partnership include: live action, puppetry and
VFX series, _Animal Alphabet_, where kids have fun identifying which letter
of the alphabet different animals begin with; _Growing Up_ a live action and
animated series featuring Flutter, a baby caterpillar, who likes to watch
other animals grow up; and _Move It_, which inspires kids to dance like
their favourite animal with catchy educational songs via puppetry and
animation..
Through this partnership, YFE and ZooMoo leverage the strong synergies in
their high quality standards as well as their philosophy for premium,
educational and entertaining content aired on their respective kids and
family channels.
*Bernd Wendeln, COO of Munich-based Your Family Entertainment AG, is
