Off The Fence And Rolf Ernst Form Partnership With NICK Germany

Leading independent production and distribution company Off the Fence and long-term business partner Rolf Ernst have formed a strategic partnership with NICK Germany for the broadcaster's new prime time family slot.
As of early 2008 Off the Fence's wildlife series and specials will be broadcast in a two-hour branded slot three evenings per week.
Flagship programs from the NHNZ and Off the Fence libraries which have received numerous international awards mark the quality level of the slot, which NICK and Off the Fence have jointly devised over the last 6 months.
"We are delighted to have found in Off the Fence such a strong international partner for NICK in Germany. The high-quality documentaries complement and enrich our programming," said Markus Andorfer, SVP NICK & COMEDY CENTRAL. "Off the Fence offers a topic variety, which allows us to create an even more diversified prime time on NICK."
Ellen Windemuth, Managing Director of Off the Fence, said: "Strategic growth and long-term relationships have always been the core of our success. Our new partnership with NICK and long-time kids veteran Rolf Ernst allows us to work with a very creative and savvy programming team. We immensely look forward to this."
