Here in the Blue World (http://www.blueworldTV.com) we are thrilled to announce the partnership with our first corporate underwriter: Ian's Natural Foods (http://www.iansnaturalfoods.com) of Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Ian's Natural Foods makes healthy, kid-friendly food. My kids love their stuff and our freezer is full of it, which is why we approached them! Ian's will begin a co-branding campaign with over one million collectible Blue World trading cards in their products starting this fall, plus on-line co-marketing. They will also be supporting the production of Seasons 2 and 3 of Jonathan Bird's Blue World as a public TV underwriter.

Season 2 of Jonathan Bird's Blue World will begin broadcast on USA public television in fall of 2009, with 7 new half-hour shows shot entirely in HD all over the world. Segments include Jonathan's investigations of mantas in Yap, Tiger sharks in the Bahamas, an amazing expedition to Antarctica, and many other exciting adventures!

Season 1 reached an incredible 37% market share of the USA television households and we expect season 2 will go well beyond 50%. Stay tuned for the new season!!

Thanks guys! Due to Ian's, we can say for sure that season 2 will be released on time and season 3 will exist. We are still waiting to announce the second underwriter. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm a film maker, not a funding expert!
