We heard similar refrains in our Q&As with TV Kids Pioneer Award recipient Francesca Newington, who is looking for compelling properties for Narrative Entertainment’s POP Channels in the U.K.; Brian Henson at The Jim Henson Company, which is driving innovation across its multimedia slate; and Kidoodle.TV’s Brenda Bisner, who is pioneering new models in AVOD and FAST while remaining committed to keeping kids safe online. We see the importance of high production values and inclusive storytelling in the success of Zodiak Kids & Family Productions UK’s Silverpoint , which is spotlighted in this edition. And you’ll see the dedication and passion that children’s media executives have for this segment of the business in our latest TV Kids Festival, featuring almost 40 speakers from across the sector and around the world. Enjoy the show!
