New Spanish-Language Cartoon Net Set

Broadcast Partners and United Teleports have teamed up to launch ToonPower, a 24/7 Spanish-language cartoon network serving the United States and Latin America.

ToonPower will launch with a slate of cartoons including He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, She-Ra Princess of Power, The Underdog Show, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Richie Rich and many more. The network will be offered across multiple distribution platforms in each of the different countries.

Neal Ardman, president of Broadcast Partners, said: “We are thrilled to offer a slate of these amazing programs in Spanish. These programs are some of the most iconic shows this country has to offer and we could not be more thrilled to offer them in Spanish to a whole new market and generation of viewers. From the United Teleports facility in Miami we are able to hyper-serve both the U.S. and all of Latin America, and we could not be more excited about our impending launch.”

Ricardo Dias, CEO of United Teleports, said: “It is always exciting to launch a new network. We currently provide uplink services and master control for several dozen fulltime networks and stations in both the U.S. and Latin America and ToonPower is a perfect addition to the slate that includes some very vibrant and exciting national channels. Based on our experience ToonPower will be a smash.”

ToonPower will be on the main floor in booth 125 at the upcoming NATPE marketplace in Miami Beach, Fla. (Jan. 27-29).
