The agreement between the two companies will create the first CBeebies programming block in the US Hispanic market.
BBC Worldwide Latin America/US Hispanic and the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network (HITN) announced a content agreement today that will unite some of the BBC’s most acclaimed children’s content with the reach and mission of HITN, a widely distributed network that broadcasts educational content for US Hispanic audiences. The goal of the partnership is to help Hispanic preschoolers practice Spanish and give them access to basic math and science concepts that will prepare them for starting school.
The agreement will create the first CBeebies programming block on a US television platform on HITN, featuring programming designed to stimulate learning among young children. The new block will include such popular CBeebies titles as Dinopaws, Mi Mascota y Yo, Dime Dime, Nina y las Neuronas, Katie Morag, Sarah y Pato – the winner of the 2014 BAFTA award for best preschool animation – and Los Numtums, a program that helps young viewers learn their numbers. The new CBeebies programming block will air Monday through Friday on HITN beginning in late 2015.
