LOVEFiLM, the Amazon owned film rental service, has announced that it has signed a deal with DHX Media, the kids content provider, to add around 2,000 hours of children’s shows to its subscription service.
The move means subscribers will be able to stream and rent shows such as Inspector Gadget and Dennis the Menace as well as Mona the Vampire, Paddington bear and Sonic the Hedgehog.
Jim Buckle, managing director at LOVEFiLM, commented: "DHX Media has created some of the best children's TV of recent years and we are pleased to bring their great content to our service. LOVEFiLM Instant is the first choice for parents who want high quality, fun and safe entertainment for their children, so naturally the addition of shows such as Mona the Vampire and Paddington Bear is an exciting prospect for us."
Michael Donovan, CEO at DHX Media, added: "We are delighted to offer LOVEFiLM members access to our award-winning kids programmes. Just like LOVEFiLM we are market leaders and DHX Media's shows already air on some of the top European broadcast destinations, so this is a natural partnership."
