"We are honoured by this prestigious recognition from the Kidscreen Awards and the youth programming production industry. The vision for our youth programming is focused on the educational quality of our content, its variety and the diversity of the types of shows we offer our young audience. Our youth content is in constant demand, particularly on our YouTube channel which, with its more than 30 million views, has gained quite a reputation thanks to the exceptional progression of its three sub-channels, with a growth of 1,154%," declared Glenn O'Farrell, President and CEO of Groupe Média TFO.
