Halifax, NS – 11 April 2007 – DHX Media Ltd. (AIM & TSX ticker: “DHX”), a leading independent international producer and distributor of television programming and interactive content, is pleased to announce the launch of a new preschool show Bo on the Go! Twenty-six half-hour episodes of the series have been commissioned by Canada’s CBC and will be produced by DHX Media Ltd.’s Halifax Film division and distributed internationally by its DECODE Entertainment division.

Michael Donovan, Chairman and CEO of DHX Media, said: “Bo is another example of both the synergies between our production and distribution divisions and of our growing portfolio of kids television shows with international and ancillary revenue potential.”
About Bo on the Go!
Bo is a positive, super-energetic and inquisitive young heroine who, along with her young friend Dezadore dragon ‘Dezzy’, encourages children at home (Bo’s Bo-Buddies) to go on amazing adventures by actively joining her in a variety of movements that assist her on her quest.
