Kids Entertainment Channel Now Among Top-Rated Video-on-Demand
Offerings on Comcast, Charter, Bresnan & Blue Ridge Cable Systems
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2009 - Kabillion, the Emmy® Award-winning multi-platform kids' entertainment service, announced today that it surpassed three million Video on Demand orders in May and June 2009, according to data compiled by Rentrak©. This establishes a new high-water mark for the two-year old network, which offers high quality animated and live-action kids' series entertainment.
As of July 1st, Kabillion also moved up to become the sixth-highest rated channel overall among children's VOD channels on the Comcast, Charter, Bresnan & Blue Ridge cable systems. Geared toward children between the ages of 6 and 11, Kabillion On Demand is currently available to 20 million VOD-enabled digital cable television subscribers, comprising 90% of the top 25 TV markets.
Kabillion, which launched in January 2007, offers high-quality animated and live-action kids' series entertainment, games, music and chat and is available both as a free VOD channel and a free online broadband site (www.Kabillion.com). Ad-supported and completely free to its users, Kabillion also boasts a fully-vetted COPPA and CARU-compliant environment, offering parents peace of mind. The network's programming content includes the Emmy Award winning "I Got a Rocket!" and a mix of new and classic favorites like "Bobby's World," "Underdog," "My Little Pony," "Transformers Animated," "X-Men," "G.I. Joe," "Spider-Man," "Dennis the Menace," "Tennessee Tuxedo" and more.
"Since our debut more than two years ago, Kabillion's trajectory has continued to go up," said Bill Schultz, CEO of Kabillion. "Consistently reaching the threshold of 3 million monthly downloads is a great milestone for a start-up venture like ours, which does not have the benefit of being a spinoff from a major linear network. We've grown this channel in spite of tough economic times and a very cluttered kids' landscape, through creativity and sheer determination."
By the end of 2008, Kabillion saw year-to-year growth of 300% in VOD views and a 250% increase in VOD users. The Kabillion online community also boasted an 800% boost in total visits, a 500% increase in unique visitors and a 340% increase in new member signups over 2007. They also brought on-board new national advertisers such as Mattel, General Mills, Lego, DreamWorks and more.
