KKR weighs bid for 'Peppa Pig' owner Entertainment One: Reuters

U.S. private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co may bid for Canadian television distributor Entertainment One Ltd after the owner of the preschool cartoon character "Peppa Pig" rejected an offer from U.K. broadcaster ITV Plc, Reuters reported, citing a Bloomberg story. KKR has not decided whether to make a bid, sources told Bloomberg. Entertainment One last week rejected a US$1.3 billion takeover offer from British broadcaster ITV, saying it undervalued the production and distribution company.
