News Of The Wild

NEWS OF THE WILD is an animal focused, factual entertainment news show aimed at 7-12 year olds. It is anchored in the studio by two squabbling co-hosts, Maya and Finn (or is that Finn and Maya, they can never agree), who cross to stories from a number of different locations and reporters. Sometimes the segments are factual and other times a parody on news-style bulletins or current affair programs, but NEWS OF THE WILD is always bursting at the seams with animals, laughter, and enthusiasm

Africa's Wild Year
