CHANNEL FREDERATOR NETWORK ADDS 141 NEW CHANNELS AND EXPANDS SUBSCRIBER BASE TO 10.5 MILLION DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST
As its Audience Numbers Continue to Balloon, Channel Frederator Network Establishes Itself as the Go-To Destination for Online Animation Across the Globe
NEW YORK—September 24, 2014–They’re just getting bigger! During the month of August, Channel Frederator Network continued its domination of the online animation space, bringing more that 141 new channels to its network in August—further establishing itself as the undisputed digital leader in delivering the world’s freshest and most cutting-edge line up of animated content. With the recent signing of such red hot animated channels as Silly Filly Studios (MLP Fanimation), Falconer02 (Minecraft inspired animations), and REsidentVille, Channel Frederator now boasts 688 channels in its networks representing popular animated programming from across the globe, with a combined subscriber base of 10.5 million.
On the heels of this rapid growth, Channel Frederator Network, which includes its enormously popular flagship Cartoon Hangover channel featuring signature franchise Bravest Warriors, will be debuting the highly anticipated first season of Bee & PuppyCat later this fall. The eagerly awaited series follows a two part pilot episode that sparked the highest ever Kickstarter campaign for an animated program, raising more than $800,000. Meanwhile other blockbuster channels that recently joined the network including Filmcow (Charlie the Unicorn) and Simon’s Cat continue to thrive and grow as part of Channel Frederator Network.
Animation luminary Fred Seibert created Channel Frederator Network with a “Declaration of Cartoon Independents” as its foundation, making it the home to creative and disparate visions for all styles of animators. Designed as a collaborative forum through which independent voices can be heard, seen, and supported by one of the foremost pioneers in animation, Seibert himself, Channel Frederator Network is the premier network for animators. The network continues to attract red hot animated channels including David Firth’s Salad Fingers, FlashFacilitoChips, and FlyingPanda1990, which just signed on with the network this past summer.
