Fix & Foxi TV (YFE)German media company Your Family Entertainment (YFE) will launch a TV channel based on comic characters Fix&Foxi on December 1, 2014.

The TV channel will feature the two foxes as the presenters and provide a 24 hour service in 16:9 widescreen format offering cartoons and children’s series. Besides Fix&Foxi, other comic characters created by Rolf Kauka will be part of the line-up such as Lupo, Lupinchen, Grandma Eusebia, Uncle Fax, Professor Knox, Family Peppercorn and Makiki.
