Turner Broadcasting has extended its deal with InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) to feature Cartoon Network in 63 Holiday Inn hotels throughout the UK, representing nearly half of the brand’s 117 hotels.  The agreement, which has been running since 2003, will this year see a 15% increase in distribution over 2007. 

In addition to a Cartoon Network channel being shown in over 11,000 rooms, young guests will also receive Cartoon Network merchandise during their stay.
