I am so excited that Disney has announced that Disney Junior is on board for another traintastic year with Chuggington.

Ludorum plc, a developer of global preschool children’s IP, announced today that it has licensed the third season of Chuggington(TM), its popular train-based preschool television series, to Disney Channel for its Disney Junior programming block and the new Disney Junior basic cable and satellite channel launching in the U.S. in 2012. As part of the agreement, Ludorum licensed 13 new half-hour episodes to the channel, which has acquired all U.S. television rights to the property. Disney Channel is currently available on basic cable in over 99 million U.S. homes.

I am so excited and can’t wait to hear when the third season of Chuggington will start!

I will keep you posted and let you know when I hear about on the exact premiere date as soon as I get the email notification. In the meantime read more about this contract on Market Watch.
