SUPER RTL acquires Studio Hari’s comedy series LEON

Germany´s No. 1 kids broadcaster, SUPER RTL, has acquired the Free TV rights for the CGI animated comedy series LEON

The prestigious broadcaster is set to air LEON exclusively in Germany in late 2009.

Carsten Goettel, Head of Programming at Super RTL: “Leon fits perfectly into our programming portfolio because it’s totally gender neutral, suitable for all age groups, highly valued and appreciated by parents. I am therefore really looking forward to the show being on air!”

Justine Bannister, Head of Distribution at TV-Loonland added: “Following strong pre-sales for the show, we are thrilled to welcome another premium broadcast partner to the table. Striking a deal with Super RTL, the uncontested market leader in Germany´s children´s TV market, speaks for the programme itself. This deal marks another important step to expand the worldwide presence of LEON.”

SUPER RTL is joining UK´s CBBC and France 3 as third prominent European broadcaster to pick up the show scheduled for full delivery before Christmas 2009.
