Cartoons and the sentence "Vortex On Demand demonstrates the synergy of our vertically integrated company, looping in our content division and the branding and packaging expertise ..." should never be mixed. But that is exactly what Corus Entertainment's CEO said. [note to John Cassaday, time to get a new PR copy writer]

Comcast is partnering with Corus Entertainment to provide nearly 200 hours of animated children's shows. Vortex On Demand will launch on Comcast's ON DEMAND platform later this month.

Vortex On Demand will join two existing children's programming services on Comcast: PBS Kids Sprout and Pre-K Kids On Demand. Comcast also recently began offering a VOD service, "Alpha Mom TV," that provides parents with informational videos on child-rearing.
