best Children's Channel 2016

Munich, November 25th 2016: International kids-and-family channel Fix&Foxi
won the Eutelsat TV Awards 2016 in the Children's Category

After winning the Hot BirdTM TV Awards in 2010, and receiving no less than
five nominations, Your Family Entertainment is honoured yet again with the
prestigious Eutelsat TV-Award, against strong competiton from children's
channels Nickelodeon (Germany) and RTL Kockica (Croatia).

Announced today, on November 25th at the Gala ceremony, The Night of
Satellites, in the impressive setting of the Palazzo del Ghiaccio in Milan,
we have the prizewinner for Best Children's Channel. Fix&Foxi, the world's
first channel named after well-known comic heroes, owes this success to a
high standard of creativity and quality on a national and international
level.

Diversity, imagination, courage, originality and exceptional quality -
these are some of the qualities characterising the channels shortlisted by
an international jury for the prestigious Eutelsat TV Award in 8
categories. The Eutelsat TV Awards jury, chaired by award-winning RAI
journalist Duilio Giammaria and bringing together media experts from
diverse markets, assessed the quality and innovation of a record number of
outstanding entries, submitted by 120 participants from 40 nations.

Fix&Foxi, celebrated with a dedicated exhibition in Hanover's renowned
Wilhelm Busch - Deutsches Museum für Karikatur & Zeichenkunst, boasts an
extremely strong heritage that is loved by children and evokes powerful and
positive memories in adults. Those popular characters Fix&Foxi and Family
(Grandma Eusebia, Lupo, Lupini, Professor Knox and Family Peppercorn)
provide a guarantee of quality entertainment, offering educational fun
while encouraging family cohesion, imagination and cultural diversity.

Laurence Robinet, Chief Broadcast Officer of Your Family Entertainment, is
thrilled by this outstanding distinction: "From the bottom of my heart, I
would like to thank the jury members for their trust in Fix&Foxi - this
beautiful trophy is such a motivation for us to further develop our
Fix&Foxi Channel with great love and creativity, never losing sight of
what's most important: maintaining the eternal magic of good storytelling!
As Khalil Gibran describes so poetically: "The things which the child loves
remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing
