Ameba to Introduce Kids’ Entertainment Portal at MIPCOM


WINNIPEG, September 8: Making its first trip to MIPCOM and MIPCOM Jr., children’s IPTV service Ameba is unveiling its entertainment portal that allows parents to select titles and download content directly to a set-top box.

AmebaTV.com houses a number of children’s titles, which can be downloaded to the Ameba set-top box, allowing parents to choose the content that is available for children to watch. The company will head to MIPCOM looking for new content to add to the service, both from international and North American-based properties in any language.

"Ameba is a complete distribution platform for children's programming for content rights holders," said Tony Havelka, the president of Ameba. "We let rights holders control every aspect of the direct delivery of their properties to the viewers TV by making it simple to administer and very low cost."
