Woody Woodpecker, a series of animated shorts produced by Splash Entertainment, commissioned by Universal 1440 Entertainment (a production arm of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group) will be broadcast on both Kabillion’s cable and OTT services.
“Woody Woodpecker is now 83 years old, but in these new episodes he has not aged a single day! We are proud to feature this classic character on our free ad-supported network,” said Steve Levy, President of Kabillion.

Splash Entertainment produced three seasons of these new shorts, which will be featured on their Kabillion network appearing on cable outlets, including Comcast, Spectrum and Cox, as well as Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV.
