Global children’s channel KidsCo is further expanding its African presence through extending a deal with StarTimes, the Beijing-based DTV operator.
The deal sees KidsCo expand its multi-lingual services, making the channel available in French across Africa on StarTimes’ extended basic package starting in September.
KidsCo will broadcast its range of original programming such as Boo & Me series one and two and first-run exclusives like Turbo Dogs and Beach Crew. KidsCo will also air its Video Game Heroes breakfast block featuring Sonic: Underground, Super Mario World and Dino Squad, as well as classic shows such as Sabrina: The Animated Series and Mary Kate and Ashley.
