Navarre Corp.’s FUNimation Ent. has developed a two-hour anime block for syndication via distributor OlympuSAT. Featuring anime programming from the 24-hour digital FUNimation Channel, the block has already been picked up by the CoLours TV Network and will be available as part of DISH Network’s basic satellite TV package.
“Part of our strategy is to use syndication to rapidly reach wider audiences and give them a taste of the top-rated anime programming available from FUNimation,’ comments Gen Fukunaga, president and CEO of FUNimation Ent.
CoLours TV Network will run FUNimation’s anime strip seven days a week from 10 p.m. to midnight (ET) and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (PT). The block is now available to broadcasters nationwide.
