MUMBAI: 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. has secured broadcast sales with global buyers for their animated action properties - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) - Fast Forward and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.

TMNT - Fast Forward is set to launch on Network Ten (Australia), Cartoon Network (Australia, New Zealand, India and Philippines), Kids Central (Singapore), Indosiar (Indonesia), ABS-CBN (Philippines), Momo Kids (Taiwan), TV3 (Malaysia), MNET (South Africa), Star (Turkey) and MBC (Dubai).

The third season of the YU-GI-OH! GX franchise has been licensed to Nickelodeon (UK and Latin America), GMTV (UK), RTL2 (Germany), Media Set (Italy), Canal J and Gulli TV (France), YTV (Canada), as well as Network Ten (Australia) and Children's Channel (Israel).

4Kids Entertainment EVP International for Brian Lacey said, "We are pleased to have signed licensing agreements that will allow viewers in Europe, South America, Asia, Australia and Canada to enjoy these properties. In addition, we completed important broadcast renewals for the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series with Nickelodeon UK and Canal J in France."

TMNT - Fast Forward launched in the US on 4Kids TV in September 2006. This time around, the Turtles and their trusty leader Splinter are catapulted 99 years into the future (Year 2105) where they emerge from the sewers and no longer have to hide from the public eye. Not only will the heroic brothers have a whole new look and arsenal of gadgets, but they will also square off against new foes - including their "Dark" alter-egos -- in a world that's totally cutting-edge and technological.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Season 3 welcomes the audience to year three at the most prestigious duelist training school in the world - Duel Academy. And if you thought last year was an adventure, wait until you see what's in store for Jaden and the gang this year! It all starts when top-ranked professional duelist Aster Phoenix enrolls in the Academy, sparking a series of mysterious events that lead up to an astonishing revelation. New monsters…new villains…and a whole new reason to Get Your Game On!
