COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 1999--Euro909.com
(Nasdaq ADR:ENON) (Nasdaq ADR:ENONW) and Fox Kids Europe (NYSE: FOX)
Thursday announced the launch of a strategic alliance in the Danish
cable and satellite TV market, increasing the viewing content for
children and younger viewers of TV Bio+ and DK 4.
Beginning Dec. 1, 1999, Euro909.com's TV Bio+ and DK 4 will
broadcast daily, branded Fox Kids blocks of programming, including
four hours every afternoon on TV Bio+ and two hours every morning on
DK 4.
The first cable network subscribers to benefit from this
programming deal will be the estimated 600,000 TV Bio+ and DK4
subscribers on Tele Danmark cable network, though the intention is to
also offer the services to other cable and SMATV networks in Denmark.
This alliance will strengthen television content for kids and
younger viewers of TV Bio+ and DK 4, while giving Fox Kids more
exposure in Denmark.
"Our goal with this strategic alliance with Fox Kids is to
develop and strengthen the positions for both TV Bio+, DK 4 and Fox
Kids in Denmark, while giving our younger audience high-quality
programs every day," said Aldo Petersen, chief executive officer of
Euro909.com.
"We also plan to further strengthen the alliance by introducing
Fox Kids' e-commerce on our Web site, and by creating joint
advertising opportunities. It is my firm belief that the alliance with
such an important media player as Fox Kids will give us the
opportunity to deliver even more high-quality content to our
Euro909.com viewers.
"I also believe this will further enhance the channels'
possibility of extending their coverage and distribution from the
600,000 subscribers on the Tele Danmark cable network to also DTH and
other private cable networks throughout Denmark."
"We expect the alliance with Euro909.com to give us a great
opportunity to position Fox Kids as a significant player in
the Danish television market," said Ynon Kreiz, chief executive
officer of Fox Kids Europe.
"We believe the combination of TV Bio+, DK 4 and Fox Kids will
create a strong alliance from which all parties will benefit, where
Fox Kids programming gives TV Bio+ and DK 4 a more family-friendly
profile, and the Danish public gets access to 42 hours of non-violent,
quality Fox Kids children's programming every week."
