The first special, “Cow Trip to the Sea,” has been picked up by national broadcasters VRT (Belgium), TG4 (Ireland), RTS (Switzerland) and Télé-Québec (Canada) as well by the Thai pay TV channel TrueVisions and Chinese distributor WeKids.
The acquisition and subsequent deals for The Horn Quartet are in line with Superights’ strategy to expand its catalogue with premium specials acquired from the best European producers. New acquisitions are being finalized, and will be announced soon.
