“The number of households adopting AVODs continues to grow dramatically, and these platforms are a fantastic way to reach young audiences,” said Elianne Friend, VP Digital & Distribution for 9 Story. “We’ve seen tremendous success with both classic series like Angelina Ballerina, and newer shows like Andy and the Bandand Weird Waters. AVOD distribution is an important part of our growth strategy and we’re thrilled to expand our offering with these two exciting new series from MonRae Productions. Featuring well-known gamer influencers, Let’s Game and Challenge DanTDM provide a great complement to our catalogue and we can’t wait to bring them to new audiences around the world.”
