French free TV giant TF1 Group has signed a deal with national industry associations pledging to boost funding for animation films and series and to give more exposure to kids’ cartoons on air.

The agreement, announced at the Annecy animation film festival on Wednesday, will see TF1 commit to earmarking 6 percent of its overall production budget to the funding of French or European original animated works, up from the current quota of 5.2 percent, and to double the volume of kids’ programming carried on free-to-air network Tfx from 150 to 300 hours, with at least 200 hours devoted to animated works. TF1 will implement the changes from 2025 on.
