KIDSCO



KidsCo, the international children’s television channel that reaches 15 million subscribers worldwide and airs on DStv 308 and ToPTV 255 has unveiled its new look and new content locally. The brand new look and feel for the channel is complemented by great new shows plus a new website – www.kidsco.tv

New shows will include Grossology about a brother and sister team who combat the “disgusting bad guys” while working for a secret government facility. Baddies like the bitter Lance Boil pose no threat for the brave twosome as they work closely to solve mysteries that are horrible for their ultra-squeamish Director.

Then there’s the adventures of the King of the Elephants, Babar, who enthrals his children with his challenges and amazing stories about how he got to become king. He wants them to understand that anything is possible if you keep trying, and encourages everyone to look for the silver lining in every dark cloud.

The fun continues with the series Rollie Pollie Ollie which tells the tales of robot Olie Polie and his family, who live on Planet Polie with their dog Spot.

KidsCo will also be introducing a raft of new titles into its schedule throughout the year including a new original production: Zuzu and the Supernuffs which is currently being produced by award-winning production company Matchbox Pictures (NBCUniversal) – with whom KidsCo announced a content deal last year – the series will air in Q2 2013.

KidsCo can be found on DStv Channel 308 and ToPTV Channel 255 as well as online to www.kidsco.tv
