International broadcaster Chello Zone has inked a deal with Israel’s cablenet HOT to debut a Russian-language version of its global preschool channel JimJam next month to HOT’s more than 880,000 subscribers.
As part of the Russian package, episodes of Barney & Friends and Percy the Park Keeper will air on JimJam, which is currently viewed in more than 60 territories and features preschool series including Thomas & Friends, Bob The Builder, Angelina Ballerina and Fireman Sam.
The deal comes shortly after JimJam acquired three new nature-themed kids programs.
