FUNKE Digital is expanding its offering on Samsung TV Plus with the FAST children's channel "StoryZoo & Friends", which launches in Germany and Austria. The channel presents a colourful mix of sophisticated stories, lively animations and interactive elements.
"This channel is a wonderful addition to our offering on Samsung TV Plus and is fully in line with our commitment to high-quality content. With StoryZoo & Friends, we are particularly pleased to be able to provide a channel for the ‘Kids’ hub on Samsung TV Plus for the first time," says Verena Märtens, Head of Content Management Partnerships & Programme Planning (CTV) at FUNKE Digital.
"StoryZoo & Friends" offers a wealth of lovingly created series, including the well-known "StoryZoo Adventures" as well as internationally successful series such as "Jungle Beat", "Luchien" and "Molang", which delight young viewers with their combination of classic cartoon humour and didactic elements.
“With StoryZoo & Friends, we offer children a varied, colourful and educationally responsible programme for the target group from over 25 different brands. The launch in German-speaking countries is just the beginning for us, as the programme will be successively expanded. We are both excited and proud to be working with FUNKE Digital to position the channel as a top international brand,” says Johannes Gropp, CEO & Founder of StoryZoo.
“FAST continues to evolve to meet the demands of its growing viewership,” said Benedikt Frey, Country Lead DACH & Benelux at Samsung TV Plus. “Audiences are responding to FAST because of its unique value proposition, offering specialized streaming content for all the family. We are very excited to further expand our partnership with FUNKE Digital in Germany and Austria and bring such high quality educational children’s content to Samsung households.”
