The WB buys 'Pokemon'
By RICH KATZ, January 27, 1999 (Variety)
NEW YORK — The WB has acquired the hit animated series “Pokemon” for the weblet's Saturday morning lineup beginning next month.
Twelve new episodes of “Pokemon” will begin airing on Saturday mornings in February.
This fall, the series will expand to six days a week, adding Monday-through-Friday afternoon airings to the continuing Saturday morning broadcasts, with 52 original episodes.
Warner Bros. Television Animation has acquired the rights to the series from 4Kids Entertainment, which distributes the show. “Pokemon” is based on the popular Game Boy game of the same name from Nintendo of North America.
The WB has, in turn, licensed the series from its sister division, Warner Bros. Television Animation, for shared broadcast rights until fall 1999, at which time the WB becomes the exclusive television home for the “Pokemon” franchise.
“Pokemon,” produced by Shogakukan Prods. in Japan, is the highest rated syndicated kids program in the United States.
