JAM Media’s Little Roy series scores key EU broadcasters

Multiple award-winning creative production, distribution and licensing 
company JAM Media has secured several major broadcast agreements for its brand new hybrid
live action/animated series Little Roy (52 x 14’).

NRK (Norway), SVT (Sweden), YLE (Finland) and VRT in Belgium have all pre-bought the show since MIPCOM. These follow the earlier pickup by ABC in Australia.

Jointly commissioned by Controller of CBeebies Kay Benbow and Controller of CBBC Cheryl 
Taylor, Little Roy will air on both channels in the UK. The Irish Film board & Northern Ireland Screen have supported the show since inception with development and now production funding.

Little Roy follows the everyday adventures of five-year-old Roy O’Brien, as his cartoon abilities and enthusiasm cause some form of mayhem. To solve his real life quandary, Little Roy escapes into his imagination. In a full cartoon sequence, he takes on the persona of ‘Wonder Roy,’ and with his sidekick Finn, he plays out his predicament of the day, finds a solution and applies it to the real world.  Although it doesn’t always go to plan!

John Reynolds, Chief Commercial Officer at JAM Media said: “The response to Little Roy since its debut at MIPCOM has been incredible, highlighting the show’s global appeal. We are excited that so many key broadcasters have already committed to the show and look forward to announcing further deals shortly.”
