Subsequently, Nickelodeon in New York awarded FRONT to repeat this for its channels in Malaysia, Spain, and India. FRONT also went and produced visual identities and commercials for other international networks such as HBO Asia and Cinemax, Current TV, CBC and Disney Channel. FRONT's clients include many other international TV network entities including the Republic of Georgia's public broadcaster Georgian Public Broadcaster, Indonesia's national channel Global TV,[1] Vision TV (Canada's multi-faith religious channel), Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), QTN, (an American gay and lesbian channel), CPAC (Canada's political television), ichannel (Issues Channel) and The Pet Network (a 24 hour pet channel).[2]
