HIT Entertainment signed a deal with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that gives the broadcaster additional TV rights to over 60 hours of programming from HIT’s catalogue of children’s shows. The deal also extends across home entertainment and digital platforms as ABC TV exclusively acquires the rights to over 290 hours of HIT’s pre-school shows, which include "Thomas & Friends," "Bob the Builder," "Fireman Sam," "Angelina Ballerina," "Pingu" and new property "Mike the Knight."
