With this new agreement, Quebecor Content will be furthering its children's and youth offerings on Yoopa and Club illico, thereby solidifying their respective ranking as the number one platforms in Quebec for youth and family television and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD).
Since this fall, Yoopa has broadcast the highly popular animated preschool series Fresh Beat Band of Spies; while in 2017, Club illico will be offering over 750 episodes of hit Nickelodeon series, including 100 Things to Do Before High School, Back at the Barnyard, Bella and the Bulldogs, Every witch way, Henry Danger, The Loud House, Ni Hao, Kai Lan, Nicky, Ricky Dicky and Dawn, and Pig Goat Banana Cricket. The properties will join a number of other Nickelodeon megahits from the VIMN catalogue already available on the platform, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dora The Explorer, Go, Diego, Go!, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Penguins of Madagascar, Avatar: The Last Airbender, SpongeBob SquarePants, Victorious, and House of Anubis.
"We are delighted to partner with Corus for the VIMN content they distribute. This relationship bolsters our ability to bring the highest quality entertainment and brands to young people of all ages, across our platforms," said Yann Paquet, Vice President (VP) of Acquisitions & Partnerships at Quebecor Content.
The agreement marks further growth for Quebecor, which earlier this year announced a deal with DHX Media for kids and youth programming, including The Other Kingdom, for its Sélection illico and Club illico platforms, as well as for its Yoopa channel.
