Ameba Signs With Barcelona's SOL 90 For Spanish-language Content on Amebatv.com

Ameba, the Winnipeg-based IPTV system for kids entertainment, has signed with Barcelona-based Sol 90 to distribute Great Civilizations, a Spanish-language animated series on AmebaTV.com.

"This is an ideal destination for foreign-language content, and for producers and content holders to gain entrance into the North American market," said Ameba President Tony Havelka. "The market is eager for foreign-language entertainment and we are excited to have Sol 90's contribution to this important programming category in our developing library. This underscores our mission to offer a wide range of programming in a variety of languages."

A portal designed to deliver children's entertainment directly to television viewers via the Internet, AmebaTV.com will offer the 260-minute animated Great Civilizations in a variety of program lengths from interstitials to full episodes, all available for quick download and instant viewing. Targeting 8-12 year olds Great Civilizations was created to inspire children to learn more about the great civilizations of man.

"AmebaTV.com is a revolutionary way for us to introduce our property to Spanish-speaking North American audiences," said Ernesto Soto. "This is a new avenue for producers and content holders, who, like me, want to reach out to a diverse group of young viewers to share distinctive programs in their original form -- with no additional work!"
