Kartoon Studios is expanding its reach in the FAST market by launching a new Video Game Heroes channel with Samsung TV Plus across Europe today. 

Initially available in the UK, Italy and Spain, this new FAST channel will prominently feature tentpole Kartoon series Kidaverse Roblox Rumble (10 x 17 minutes), along with other gaming-themed shows including Sonix X (78 x 22 minutes, pictured) and Donkey Kong Country (40 x 22 minutes). Also in the lineup are fast-paced quiz shows KC Pop Quiz and Sunny Bunnies to test kids on their gaming knowledge. 

Kartoon Channel Worldwide president Paul Robinson says the company was inspired to launch Video Game Heroes by the fact that gaming content helps kids ages six to nine develop new connections with others while engaging in positive escapism from their daily lives. 

In other news, Kartoon Studios has finalized a deal with Singapore-based PowerKids Entertainment to offer Kartoon Channel! throughout India, opening it up to nearly 354 million children under the age of 18, according to Statista.
