Boat Rocker's hit preschool series "Dino Ranch" has been lassoed by UK broadcaster Tiny Pop on Saturday 2nd April will be supported by a robust digital and social campaign. "Dino Ranch" currently airs on Disney+ in the UK following its successful launch on the platform in April 2021. Its acquisition by free-to-air Tiny Pop significantly increases the available audience for the show in the UK. Supported by a strong dedicated "Dino Ranch" YouTube channel which has delivered over 100 million views since its launch last April.
Celebrating teamwork and friendship, the action-packed "Dino Ranch" follows the “pre-westoric” adventures of the tight-knit Cassidy family and their lively herd of racing, roaring dinosaurs. Gia Delaney, Senior Vice President, Global Sales, Boat Rocker, Kids & Family, said: “We’re delighted to saddle up with Tiny Pop to bring ‘Dino Ranch’, featuring the rousing adventures of the Cassidy family, to even more viewers in the UK. The show’s strong content sales and high ratings are testament to the hard work and creativity that went into producing this stand out series with strong global appeal.”
Francesca Newington, Director of the POP Channels, said: “We’re thrilled that ‘Dino Ranch’ is joining our Tiny Pop line-up this April, as Boat Rocker have done an incredible job embedding heart and humour throughout the series. We can’t wait to see what our dino-loving audience of 4-6-year-olds make of it.”
