    New kids animated show, Dork Hunters from Outer Space � ("Dork Hunters") takes the ratings by storm in the UK being the number 1
performing show on Sundays for Kids aged 4 - 9 years!
       
    The UK terrestrial launch of Dork Hunters from Outer Space is out of this world.  BKN's comedy animation series recently launched on
GMTV's Toonattik block on Sundays and is the number 1 performing show in its time slot since the launch for Boys aged 4-9 years against all
other free TV and satellite and cable. For Kids 4-9, Dork Hunters achieved an average share of 14.8% which was the highest share in that
time slot on Sunday.

    Dork Hunters has proven to be the best show on all channels for kids 4-9 in its time slot and the 2nd best show for kids 4-9 on all
channels between 0725-0925 on Sunday in the United Kingdom.

    It's not just UK kids who have taken to Dork hunting, the ratings on South Africa's SABC1 continue to show huge growth increasing in the
4th week on air to a 43.3% share of kids, the highest since launch.

    Nicola Andrews, Managing Director of BKN New Media Ltd in London added "We are seeing a pattern developing from Spain in the spring to
South Africa in the summer and now to the UK in the early fall and they all point to kids worldwide loving the storyline and characters and
humour.  

    We are very excited with these early signs and this is only the beginning, we are looking forward to a very successful 2009 as we evolve
the brand with the implementation of our licensing activities."
