EM.TV Losses Worse Than Expected

PROFILE |
 |
Can Bart Simpson, Pippi Longstocking, and Miss Piggy peacefully coexist? For the answer to that burning question, look to Germany's EM.TV & Merchandising, the cartoon titan that distributes and produces a string of cartoons and is active in marketing TV licensing rights and TV-related merchandising. The company has a cache of 30,000 cartoon episodes that it markets under the Junior banner. EM.TV also owns The Jim Henson Company (which it may sell soon), has stakes in TV and film rights firm Tele München Gruppe and film company Constantin Film, and owns 26% of the Formula One racing circuit. Founder, chairman, and CEO Thomas Haffa is resigning and will sell 25% of his 43% stake in the company. German media giant KirchGruppe owns a 16% stake in the firm with 25% voting power.
