BLUE ANT MEDIA ANNOUNCES FIVE NEW CARRIAGE DEALS FOR ZOOMOO IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

ZooMoo, a children’s nature broadcaster for preschoolers, is now available on over 10 platforms across Asia-Pacific

(Singapore – May 29, 2018)Blue Ant Media, an international content producer, distributor and channel operator, announced today new carriage deals for ZooMoo, a preschool nature channel for the Kids 2-7 category, across Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. The deals highlight ZooMoo’s ongoing expansion across Asia Pacific, now available on 10 platforms across the region.

A joint venture with DirectTV Latin America, an AT&T company, ZooMoo is comprised of over 500 hours of original content, combining spectacular wildlife footage with puppetry, animations and narration to create a unique viewing and learning experience for preschool viewers, aged 2-7.

The recent crop of deals, via Blue Ant Media’s Kids & Global Networks division, has seen ZooMoo expand its presence in Myanmar earlier this year via Canal+ Myanmar FG, a national pay TV service that operates in partnership with local media player Forever. The channel has also launched in Indonesia on K-Vision, a pay TV and satellite service provider; in Papua New Guinea on subscription television provider, Click TV; in Vietnam through a branded block with the country’s satellite digital television company, K+; and across the Philippines via Solar Entertainment’s new digital platform, EasyTV.

ZooMoo’s original programming is now airing across the region on multiple platforms including Fetch and the Seven Network in Australia; MNC Vision, First Media, and BIGTV in Indonesia; DhiraaguTV and Medianet in Maldives; and Digicel Play in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Vanuatu, Nauru, Samoa and Tonga.

“It has remained our mission to deliver high quality programming to audiences across the region. We are also firm believers that stimulating children’s minds and opening their eyes about wildlife and conservation at an early age will make them good stewards of this planet. Our new partnerships with different platforms in Southeast Asia are vital to support ZooMoo’s ongoing expansion to engage with more audience and let them know more about wildlife and nature,” says Beatrice Lee, CEO, Blue Ant Media, Asia Pacific.
