The original Korean children's program "Hutos" will be making its way into the Middle East via a childrens channel on Al Jazeera, the most extensive cable broadcasting network in the region.
KBS N, which is in charge of Hutos' distribution, agreed to an export deal regarding the program with the executive administrators of Al Jazeera cable network in France. The contract will be finalized between both parties in Seoul in May.
Hutos is a children's developmental program and its furry cast is one of the most popular kids shows aired on KBS 1TV, 2TV, KBS Prime, Champ, JEI TV, MegaTV, HanaTV, and myLGTV. It is set to air in the Middle East around June or July.
Hutos was produced by KBS in 2007 and it is filmed on a four billion won set located within the Hampyeong Ecological Park in Jeollanam-do.
KBS N is hopeful that the overseas distribution of Hutos will lead to the export of character-related products.
