Roundups #111: Da Vinci Kids Acquired Broadcasting Rights To Educational Comedy Series Fantastic Antics, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Love And Pride Makes Its Way To Timeless Dizi Channel International

Da Vinci Kids set to air a new educational series by 2023

France Télévisions commissioned the 26 x three-minute series from Les Films Jack Fébus. Aimed at six- to 11-year-olds, the slapstick adventure follows a trio of explorers who travel through time to learn about different cultures and eras, such as ancient Greece and Egypt.

Da Vinci acquired global broadcast rights from French distributor Dandelooo, and will air the series on its linear channel, OTT platform and app. Da Vinci’s OTT channel is available globally on connected TV via Apple TV, Roku, Samsung and Amazon Fire TV.

The company has acquired a programming library of animated and live-action shows and films targeting viewers ranging from preschoolers to co-viewing families. Da Vinci offers a mix of historical, arts & crafts, nature and science content, including titles such as Giggle Garage’s Dr. Panda, Six Eleven Media’s Addison and Operation Ouch! from Maverick TV.

Whose Line Is It Anyway cancelled after 12 seasons

Season 12 of the improv comedy series Whose Line Is It Anyway? will be its last, according to a tweet from Colin Mochrie, one of its lead performers.

“Hey everyone. Hope you are enjoying the current season of Whose Line ,” he wrote. “In January, we shoot our final season. Thank you all for the support over the years.”

The young-skewing CW network faces an uncertain fate: Local-TV giant Nexstar Media Group recently acquired a 75 percent ownership stake, with plans to target older viewers and add low-cost, unscripted programming. Longtime network head Mark Pedowitz departed The CW shortly after the acquisition was finalized.
