‘Family Channel focuses on programmes that will encourage shared viewing and appeal to every age within a family. We’re on the lookout for both animation and live action where strong, authentic storytelling is key. We’re also keen to acquire more unscripted content, as we’ve seen a lot of success with these types of series, this is perfect co-viewing content’, comments Wilson.
As part of its content strategy, the exec assured that ‘family-oriented is one os the most important, cataloging three core elements that are at the heart of its content: blockbuster animation, live-action storytelling brimming with strong, character-driven narratives that provide appointment co-viewing opportunities, and unscripted competition shows’, she appoints.
Regarding coproduction, manifests that ‘all are welcome’. And she completed: ‘We look for partners who are aligned with our values and our vision. Also, as part of the global WildBrain organization we’re always looking at potential rights curation from multiple perspectives: broadcast, production, distribution, consumer products and YouTube’.
