It is co-created and produced by Larry Mirkin (Fraggle Rock) in Canada and Jocelyn Stevenson (Barney and Friends) in the UK.

The show for pre-schoolers is produced with a mixture of live action and animation as children speak about their personal news to animated characters called "CorrespondANTS".  Motion capture animation for the correpondANTS and their friends was done in the UK.  Live action with children and editing were done in Canada. Episodes feature Canadian children's news delivered like a real news show to hosts in a digitally rendered studio.  The show has been sold as a format in Brazil and is being actively made available worldwide by Picture Box International.
