CNN And Cartoon Network Scoop 8 Honours

CNN and Cartoon Network won eight honours – also known as 'Goddess of Creativity' wins – at the Asian Academy Creative Awards.

CNN and CNN Vision, its global production powerhouse, won five awards for reporting and programming in the region, and went into the awards with 13 national wins from across eight different countries (Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and Bangladesh).

Cartoon Network took home three awards. Lamput won "Best 2D Animated Programme or Series," and Bill & Tony won "Best 3D Animated Programme or Series" and "Best Children's Animated Programme or Series." The kids network also scored a further 10 national wins for its shows in Australia, India and Japan, where three were for Turner’s other entertainment brands MondoTV and TABI Channel.

In Korea, there was a country win for We Bare Bears Match3 Repairs (which also featured in the 2018 top-5 mobile game in Google's People’s Choice Awards). Cartoon Network’s Bears walked the AACA red carpet in triumph on December 7.

Earlier in the week, also in Singapore, Turner secured four gongs at PromaxBDA Asia awards for campaigns and promos on Cartoon Network and Warner TV.
