Asian nets gobble up Gabba RDF Rights, sales arm of the UK's RDF Media Group, has licensed kids properties including Nickeolodeon's Yo Gabba Gabba! to a number of Asian broadcasters. In Thailand, True Spark has taken the first two seasons of Yo Gabba and season five of ITV1's Finger Tips, which has also gone to Yo Yo TV in Taiwan. Yo Yo has also re-licensed the first four seasons. PBS in Thailand has taken seasons one and two of CBeebies' farmyard animation Big Barn Farm and season three of arts-and-crafts preschooler Mister Maker. Okto Channel in Singapore has taken seasons one and two of Mister Maker, Brilliant Creatures (S4, S5, S6), Finger Tips (S3, S4), Yo Gabba Gabba! and ITV's Tricky TV. Yo Gabba Gabba has been picked up by ATV in Hong Kong, which has also plumped for Finger Tips (S4, S5). TVB has acquired the BBC adventure gameshow Escape from Scorpion Island and the first season of Big Barn Farm. NTV7 in Malaysia completes the set of networks going for Yo Gabba Gabba! and Mister Maker (S1, S2). RDF Rights' sale manager Delphine Dumont brokered the deals, saying that the Asian market's appetite for RDF's slate had grown rapidly in the past two years.
