MUMBAI: Oggy and the Cockroaches, the animated comedy series, will premiere on 16 July on Cartoon Network India.

The show will air every Monday-Friday at 3 pm.

Viacom18?s Nick was showing the series in India since 2009. However the property moved to Cartoon Network following an Asia Pacific level exclusive co-production agreement with leading French animation studio, Xilam, to create season four of Oggy and the Cockroaches.

Cartoon Network will be launching a contest based on Oggy and the Cockroaches called ?Oggy di New House Party!?.

Turner International India General Manager, Entertainment Networks, South Asia Monica Tata said, "Oggy and the Cockroaches has a winning comedy formula that has made it hugely popular with kids in India. We are thrilled about this latest acquisition, which ensures that Oggy and the Cockroaches becomes part of a formidable comedy line up on Cartoon Network this year."

MUMBAI: Kids channel Pogo is all set to reacquaint kids of Gen Y with the biggest comic hero of all time in an all new animated avatar in Chaplin & Co every Saturday at 9 am, starting 7 July.

Based on the hilarious escapades of Charlie Chaplin, Chaplin and Co is a co-production between Hyderabad-based DQ Entertainment and France-based Method Animation, and was developed in consultation with the Chaplin family.

Turner International India General Manager, Entertainment Networks, South Asia Monica Tata said, ?Our aim at Pogo is to strike the perfect balance between Indian and international shows that will enthrall kids and families.By launching a show based on the biggest comic icon in the world, Charlie Chaplin, we hope to entertain not only kids who never got to witness his brilliance but also adults who grew up admiring him. In addition, to remain relevant to today?s generation and broaden its appeal, the show has been made in colour and animation."

Cartoon Network Asia had in 2010 acquired the TV broadcast rights of the popular animated series for certain Asian territories including India.

The broadcasting rights relate to 104 Chaplin and Co episodes, each 6 minutes long and will be broadcast across all of Cartoon Network?s Asia Pacific markets in more than 26 countries from early 2012.
