‘Cartoon Network Duniya’ on Doordarshan

July 6, 2006 / / 0 Comments

Cartoon Network, a hot favourite with most children, has designed a new show exclusively for Doordarshan viewers titled “Cartoon Network Duniya” that starts July 8.

The hour-long show will come on every Saturday at 10.30 p.m. and feature two of Turner’s popular and original productions – “M.A.D” (Music, Art and Dance show) and “Codename: Kids Next Door“.

“Doordarshan’s extensive reach across India will enable kids in non-C&S (cable and satellite) homes to enjoy Turner’s engaging original production, that has so far been limited to C&S homes,” said Anshuman Misra, managing director of Turner International India.

“In the preliminary stage, the highly rated ‘M.A.D’ and popular animation series ‘Codename: Kids Next Door’ will serve as the perfect introduction to new viewers. Later in the year, ‘Galli Galli Sim Sim’ will further enhance this appeal by showcasing content that is both educational and entertaining in nature.”

“Galli Galli Sim Sim” is the Indian version of the globally renowned pre-school series “Sesame Street”.

The show is aimed at serving 157 million children under the age of six in India and is also committed to supporting India’s Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Universal Access to Education).

    July 5, 2006 / / 0 Comments

    The UTV-promoted Hungama TV claims that it has become the most viewed channel in 4-14 age group among socio-economic class ABC category in the Hindi-speaking markets.

    The channel attributes this to the huge popularity of its programmes like Doraemon, Hero and Shaka Laka Boom Boom. According to Television Audience Measurement (TAM), a TV viewership analysis firm, its ratings for the week June 11, 2006 – June 17, 2006, show that the channel attracted the maximum eyeballs.

    Hungama TV content head Zarina Mehta attributed the channel’s winning speck to localised programming, ideation, execution and aggressive on-ground marketing initiatives. In line with the ratings, the channel has recorded a 40% jump in revenues.

    Innovative marketing initiatives, strong distribution network and aggressive sales targets have contributed towards creating hungama at Hungama TV. I think that it’s a spot-on achievement that the top three programmes on Kids Television in India now belong to us,� she said.

    The channel attributes most of the credit for its success to John Abraham, whom it recently signed on as the brand ambassador.

    20,000 soccer pitches at the tip of a hair

    July 5, 2006 / / 2 Comments

    A German scientist has created the world’s smallest soccer pitch — so minute that 20,000 of them could fit onto the tip of a human hair.

    The imitation playing field, created by using nanotechnology, measures 500 by 380 nanometres and can only be seen through a special microscope, said creator Stefan Trellenkamp, whose country is hosting the 2006 World Cup.

    “I am really, really proud,” the nanotechnology researcher from the University of Kaiserslautern told Reuters by telephone.

    The only problem is that I really don’t know what to do with it. I can’t put it on show as no one can see it,” he said.

    “I guess it’ll just stay in my drawer for the time being”.
