Channels and online

Our network of 15 television channels reaches over 46 million households across Europe and the Middle East. We broadcast in 18 languages to 58 countries. We manage 17 localised websites, which support these channels and allow kids to interact with our content. We are developing new digital distribution channels, such as broadband and mobile.

We generate revenue from subscriptions to satellite and cable pay television operators, and from advertising. Other revenue comes from a number of sources, including live events and interactive games.

Programme distribution

We sell television programming which we own or represent to other broadcasters, usually free-to-air channels. We also sell programming to our partners in the Jetix alliance. Third party programme sales are serviced by Disney’s Buena Vista International Television. We currently sell to over 95 clients in 59 markets.

We earn licence fees from broadcasters for the right to air our programming, generally for a limited number of runs over a specific time period.

Consumer products

We license rights to our characters and properties for a wide range of merchandising and media, across Europe and the Middle East.

This is managed by our in-house operation, Jetix Consumer Products, through its network of seven regional offices and agents in a further 38 countries. Jetix Consumer Products also licenses programming for home entertainment use. We have outsourced representation of our largest property, Power Rangers, to Disney Consumer Products.

We derive revenue from royalties. In most cases we negotiate a minimum guarantee, together with a variable fee based on sales.
