Health Media Network Broadcasts 'The Wumblers'

Posted on: Tuesday, 9 September 2008, 15:00 CDT

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Health Media Network announced the addition of the popular children's program "The Wumblers" to its schedule of digital television broadcasts starting October 1, 2008. With its strong emphasis on multicultural programming, Health Media Network is a perfect home for the cartoon series, whose audience spans a diverse cross section of the population.

"The Wumblers" is both a TV series and brand that has been strongly embraced by the U.S. Hispanic-Latino population. The Wumblers are a whimsical collection of multi-colored, bulbous-shaped characters whose stories blend inspiration, imagination, and fun. The program is produced by The Giddy Gander Company.

"As The Wumblers' primary focus is to support children and families, doing so in medical-related environments is an obvious choice," states Laura J. Wellington, CEO, of The Giddy Gander Company and creator of "The Wumblers". "We are quite pleased to team with Health Media Network in this regard."

The series will be broadcast over Health Media Network (HMN). HMN programming is broadcasted in waiting rooms and treatment areas of major metropolitan hospitals and medical practices. Health Media Network's digital television screens and poster displays reach millions of health-minded consumers, patients, and medical employees every month. Health Media Network's digital television system (HMN TV) consists of 42" LCD widescreen monitors with individual IP addresses so both content and advertising can be sent to specific locations within our network on behalf of marketers.

HMN is a strong multicultural channel -- generating over 68 million Hispanic impressions annually according to Arbitron. "The Wumblers" will be broadcast over HMN's Parenting Network and Women's Wellness Network. The program will be broadcast in English and Spanish.

"We are pleased to welcome quality programming," said Ken Smallwood, Health Media Network's Vice President, and Sales & Marketing. "'The Wumblers' is a great addition to HMN's program schedule and will offer sponsors a new opportunity and option for their advertisements' messages to be seen."
