The new deals follow the series launching on Korean pubcaster KBS and streaming services Naver TV and Naver Junior in the region.

On top of these recent CP deals, DHX has also signed 19 additional broadcast and streaming agreements for its new Teletubbies series for a total of 54 platforms spanning more than 100 territories across the globe.
