ITV is Discovered

ITV recently inked an exciting deal with Discovery Health Channel for 26 episodes of the award winning television show Kids HealthWorks. The 30-minute educational program will begin airing in 2002. ITV is thrilled with the deal. They have six episodes in the can already and are hard at work producing the remaining 20. Most of the production will occur in Palm Beach County at the ITV studios and area locations. Recently, KidsHeatlhWorks filmed at Sugar Sands Park in Boca Raton.

The show is hosted by Emmy Award winning Wendy Rutledge, an industry professional with over 20 years experience. She adds a caring and sensitive dimension to the serious topics of the show. KidsHealthWorks has already garnered several prestigious awards, including a Freddy Award for Pediatrics. The Freddy Awards are basically the Oscars of health and wellness programming. ITV competed with the likes of 20/20, Dateline and other major network productions to walk away winners.

Kids HealthWorks covers all aspects of children's health with topics ranging from oral care to pool safety to Halloween costume safety. Producers also include emotional health issues for children, like family economics and divorce.
