CBeebies premieres new series Penélope K

CBeebies, BBC’s pre-school brand, continues to reveal new content for its young audience and premieres exclusively for the U.S. Hispanic market the new series Penélope K. Penelope K is a bright, bubbly, curious person who is enthusiastic about the world around her. She runs the ‘Information Station’, where children come to ask questions. The answer to the question is discovered as the show unfolds, with Penélope K enlisting the help of her friends ‘Squirm,’ ‘The Rubber Band,’ ‘Trewey,’ and ‘Hank and Frank’ to aid in her quest for the right answer. “How do kids engage with their world? By asking questions! The concept is startlingly original whilst profoundly connected to how young kids engage with their world to grow and learn. The concept behind Penélope K is homage to the extraordinary ability of humans to be excited by ideas and knowledge,” said Dan Salerno, Vice President of Programming for CBeebies in the U.S. Hispanic market and Latin America.Penélope K premiered Monday, October 4th through DISH Networks’ DishLATINO package on channel 848.To help celebrate Thank a Mailman Day, CBeebies will feature a programming marathon with Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service (Pat, el cartero: Servicio especial) on Saturday, October 9th from 9 to 11am.
