4Kids Entertainment reported its Q3 results after the market's close on Wednesday, and sales and earnings both dropped from last year's numbers, continuing last quarter's slide (see '4Kids Reports Sales, Earnings Decline').  CEO Al Kahn said that the decline was due to 'softer sales of licensed merchandise and home videos and reduced broadcast sales of our Yu-Gi-Oh! and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles properties,' as well as having no replacement for the Yu-Gi-Oh! feature movie revenues, which hit Q3 last year.  Licensing revenues from Winx Club and CPK were up, as were program sales of One Piece. 

Kahn noted increased ratings of the company's 4Kids TV programming block this fall, due to its girls shows Winx Club, Bratz, and Magical DoReMi.  4Kids has programmed its block with programming that skews heavily female, a bold move in the U.S. animation world.
