Toronto -- Canadian producer Dhx Media has promoted kids show veteran Steven DeNure to the new post of president and COO.
DeNure, most recently president of Dhx's kids and family show subsidiary Decode Entertainment, will work alongside the Halifax-based parent's chairman and CEO Michael Donovan, the company said Wednesday.
DeNure also will oversee Decode Enterprises, the company's international distribution arm, as current president Neil Court prepares to step down in May and shift into an adviser role.
Dhx Media, which recently failed to complete a merger with rival producer and distributor E1 Entertainment, also promoted Charles Bishop, president of subsidiary Halifax Film, to president of production and development for the parent company.
The Canadian producer is best known for such kids series as "Franny's Feet" and "Bo on the Go," and dramas like "The Guard," which was picked up by Ion Television last month.

Toronto -- Despite spiked revenues, Canadian kids TV producer Dhx Media on Monday swung to a second-quarter loss due to a one-time charge for a failed Can$68 million ($55.5 million) reverse takeover of rival producer E1 Entertainment.
Halifax-based Dhx saw revenue for the three months to December 31 rise 131% to Can$21.5 million ($17.3 million) on 80 half-hours of TV program deliveries, against Can$9.3 million on 55.5 half-hours of content in 2008.
But a Can$1.1 million ($880,000) charge to put the brakes on a reverse takeover of E1 Entertainment led to a second-quarter loss of Can$328,000 ($264,000), compared with a year-earlier profit of Can$137,000.
Dhx, best known for its kids series "Franny's Feet," "Bo on the Go" and "Martha Speaks,” said it has Can$12 million ($9.6 million) in cash on hand to weather the current economic downturn.
