MUMBAI: Kid‘s broadcaster Nick has picked up exclusive broadcast rights for animated comedy series, The Daltons, produced by European animation company Xilam.

Nick, which has acquired the rights for a period of five years, will air the show in Hindi Speaking Market (HSM) since Sun TV already airs the show in the Southern markets in all the four languages.

The show will premiere on 3 September and will be aired from Monday-Friday at 6:30 pm. Based on the popular Morris and Goscinny comic books, the show revolves around four crazy central characters - Joe, Jack, William and Averell.

With this acquisition, the kid‘s broadcaster has further augmented its evening slot which includes shows like Tony & Alberto and Dennis the Menace.
