Callie the Calico

Callie the Calico is an anthropomorphic calico cat and the mascot of the Antarctic television network, ABN.

History
In 1974, for their 10th anniversary, ABN held a contest for students of elementary and junior high schools across Antarctica to design a mascot character for the network. The contest was won by Michelle Anton, who was 11 years old at the time.

Usage

 * Callie was used on a bonus wedge on the Antarctic version of Wheel of Fortune from 1989 to 1999, known as the "Calico Bonus". It had a dollar value of AQ$ 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, or 5000 on the back of the wedge. This inspired the Mystery Wedges on later seasons of the US show, which were in turn adapted into the Antarctic show in 2005.
