(London) � Cake Distribution today announced the sale of FRESH TV's TOTAL DRAMA ACTION, the spinoff to TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND (TDI), to Cartoon Network U.S. TDI has quickly established itself as a hit on Cartoon Network's Thursday night line-up and has developed a substantial following both on-air and on-line.

New to the concept will be a number of talk-show episodes where former contestants and fans comment on the competition.
