It is from there that the three boys Tom Cole, Derek Ashby and Jay Lawrence run their radio station , "It's called like the city". The broadcast is from an old lighthouse. In addition to working as journalists, they are repeatedly drawn into mysterious adventures, most of which take place in and around Point Whitmark. In later episodes the protagonists are also in other places.

Distribution partner

Point Whitmark kept having problems with its distributors. After the series was first canceled at edelKIDS as part of the restructuring of the company, the series was looking for a new sales partner. This was found in 2003 with the label Kiddinx . Kiddinx re-produced all episodes and also distributed five new episodes of the series until March 2006 the separation between Kiddinx and Volker Sassenberg was announced. Since then, Sassenberg has been looking for a new sales partner again.

On October 27, 2006, after a break of over a year, the 16th Point Whitmark adventure The Time of the Bone Catcher appeared at Carousel . On April 27, 2007, with the release of episode 18, distribution changed to the audio play labelsequence , which, like its predecessor, Karussell, belongs to the Universal Music Group . On June 22nd, 2011, consequences rich announced that the series from episode 32 onwards will no longer appear on this label. Since July 2011, new episodes of the series have been released by Sony Music and will continue to be produced by Sassenberg's radio play label Decision Products. After production and sales had ceased in 2015, Sassenberg announced in an interview on May 20, 2017 that new episodes of Point Whitmark would be released at the end of 2017 under the Sony Music label. Episode 41 with the title Return from the Dead Land was finally released on April 5, 2019.
