UK-based AVOD provider VOD365 has picked up two preschool series from Endemol Shine Group for its kids channel Ketchup TV.
Looking to deliver its content to a wider audience, Endemol is sending its CGI-animated preschool shows Bananas in Pyjamas (128 x 12 minutes) and eight episodes of varying lengths for PC Bob (pictured) to Ketchup TV.
