Kartoon Studios announced on May 28, 2025, the promotion of Todd Steinman to President of Toon Media Networks Worldwide, expanding his role to lead global business for Kartoon Channel! Worldwide. This move aims to accelerate international growth and capitalize on surging momentum across its digital platforms.
The company reported a 116% year-over-year earnings increase for Kartoon Channel! and Ameba’s domestic business for January and February 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This triple-digit growth reinforces Kartoon Studios’ position as a rising leader in the global family streaming market.
Toon Media Networks' distribution now spans 71 territories, providing access to an audience of 2.8 billion potential viewers. Steinman’s expanded role will encompass international operations, driving monetization across these global markets, building on his success in guiding Kartoon Channel!, Ameba, and Frederator Networks to profitability in North America.
Supporting this growth, Kartoon Channel! doubled its performance across FAST channels since last year on platforms including Tubi, Pluto TV, Xumo, and Samsung TV Plus. The company also debuted a 24/7 'Rainbow Rangers' channel on Google TV Freeplay, enhancing domestic reach and monetization.
Kartoon Studios is leveraging AI-assisted dubbing technology to efficiently localize content, which is crucial for unlocking new international markets with speed and precision. This technological adoption is a key driver for the company's global expansion strategy.
