History

Formation and launch

KidsCo was formed as a joint venture between Sparrowhawk Media Group, DIC Entertainment, and Corus Entertainment's Nelvana Enterprises, with each partner holding an equal 33% stake. The partnership was announced on April 3, 2007, with DIC committing an initial investment of $4 million over two years to support the venture. Following NBCUniversal's acquisition of Sparrowhawk Media in August 2007, the channel became associated with NBCUniversal as one of its key partners. The channel was conceived as a 24/7 multi-platform service available via both and pay-TV platforms, targeting preschoolers, school-age children aged 6-11, and families with a mix of educational and entertaining programming.

This initial broadcast reached millions of households through partnerships with local cable and satellite providers.

Expansion

Following its initial launches in , KidsCo underwent a gradual international expansion, reaching 95 countries across 18 languages by , encompassing regions such as , , , and planned extensions into . This growth was driven by strategic partnerships with regional broadcasters and pay-TV operators, enabling the channel to penetrate diverse markets and build a global subscriber base of approximately 20 million households. The expansion emphasized family-oriented, ad-free programming tailored for children aged 6-10, leveraging the channel's core libraries from partners like and to support localized feeds. Key milestones included the Australian launch on on November 15, 2009, through a five-year distribution deal that provided access to over 1.5 million homes via and platforms. In 2010, KidsCo introduced feeds in , with launches on platforms such as MyTV and in from July 12, as well as renewals with providers like to broaden reach. Southeast Asia saw further additions between 2010 and 2012, with launches on platforms like AORA TV in from August 2010 and expansions via PT Global Comm Nusantara in 2011, alongside availability in the and .

Programming volume expanded by incorporating additional titles from —such as Babar and Franklin—and DIC's catalog, including Inspector Gadget and Strawberry Shortcake, which enabled robust 24-hour schedules in major markets and enhanced content localization across languages. These developments solidified KidsCo's position as a key player in international children's television prior to its wind-down.

Closure

On November 15, 2013, and announced the closure of KidsCo, stating that they had decided to discontinue the service by early 2014. The shutdown was attributed to growing challenges in the international children's sector, such as a crowded marketplace with increased competition from digital platforms and a splintered audience across age groups. The closure proceeded in phases, with KidsCo's feeds ceasing operations on December 31, 2013. The remaining feeds in and followed in February 2014, marking the end of the channel's global broadcast presence. The shutdown impacted the joint venture's limited staff and operational partnerships, leading to the redistribution of programming rights and assets back to the contributing content owners, including former partner , which had been acquired by DHX Media in 2012. This effectively dissolved the collaborative network without broader reported layoffs or financial disclosures from the partners.

Programming

Content sources

KidsCo's programming drew from the extensive libraries of its partners: , Enterprises (a subsidiary of ), and Sparrowhawk Media Group. provided access to over 3,000 half-hour episodes, including classics such as , Heathcliff, , Madeline, Dennis the Menace, and .

Nelvana contributed over 3,000 half-hour episodes with an emphasis on educational and character-driven stories, including Babar, Little Bear, Franklin, The Adventures of Tintin, Rolie Polie Olie, Beyblade, Grossology, and Jacob Two-Two. Sparrowhawk facilitated additional content from partners like Entertainment Rights, such as The Wiggles and Wallace & Gromit, along with Sabrina: The Animated Series from DIC.

To ensure international appeal, much of this programming was dubbed into multiple local languages for distribution across various markets.

Special programming blocks

In its later years, KidsCo introduced special programming blocks to target niche audiences and enhance viewer engagement, particularly through themed content drawn from its partners' libraries. The most notable was the , launched in February 2013 as a with NBCUniversal's channel. This block featured and fantasy-themed programming aimed at children aged 6 to 10, airing exclusively on KidsCo channels during peak evening hours in regions including starting in June 2013, and later in and . The initiative sought to introduce younger viewers to imaginative, genre-based stories, with fully dubbed episodes to broaden accessibility. The Syfy Kids block included select titles from KidsCo's core offerings, such as the CG-animated action series Sendokai Champions, which debuted on the block in October 2013 and followed four children defending Earth from interdimensional threats using ancient powers. Another example was the space adventure series Sonic Underground from DIC Entertainment, featuring anthropomorphic hedgehog siblings battling in a futuristic kingdom, aired to capitalize on sci-fi appeal during prime time slots.

Ownership and operations

Joint venture partners

KidsCo was established as a among three equal partners: Sparrowhawk Media Group, , and Corus Entertainment's Enterprises, each holding a one-third stake in the venture. This structure was announced in April 2007, with the partners pooling resources to create a global children's focused on programming. Sparrowhawk Media Group, a London-based international broadcaster, brought global distribution expertise to the partnership, leveraging its operation of the Hallmark Channel and its broadcast facilities. The company handled key aspects of content syndication and , utilizing its extensive network of affiliates to facilitate KidsCo's rollout in multiple territories.

Corus Entertainment, through its Nelvana Enterprises subsidiary, contributed a vast animation library exceeding 3,000 half-hours of content, including popular series such as Babar and Franklin, along with insights into the Canadian market. Nelvana played a significant role in production oversight, ensuring the channel's programming aligned with high-quality standards for young audiences, and supported the development of original content tailored for global distribution. DIC Entertainment supplied its extensive catalog of animated and live-action properties, also totaling over 3,000 half-hours, featuring iconic titles like Inspector Gadget and Care Bears, while providing creative direction for the channel's lineup. With a focus on European operations, DIC helped shape the channel's scheduling and content acquisition strategies in that region. In July 2008, DIC was acquired by Cookie Jar Group, which inherited its stake and continued to influence creative decisions until later adjustments. The partners operated through a collaborative framework, with KidsCo's in serving as the central hub for cross-partner coordination on selection, programming strategies, and operational alignment.

This restructuring, announced on May 14, , followed the channel's original formation as a with equal one-third stakes among its founding partners. Cookie Jar's departure was motivated by its desire to expand and develop its business independently of the KidsCo collaboration, though it secured a multi-year content licensing agreement to continue supplying programming to the . The changes were influenced by broader strategic shifts at , particularly after Comcast's acquisition of the company, which led to assume management of its existing children's network and prioritize domestic growth in the segment. This focus on consolidating U.S.-based assets, including where held a 40% stake at the time, reduced emphasis on international ventures like KidsCo and prompted the equity realignment to streamline decision-making under 's majority control. Corus, as a key content provider, maintained a substantial role to support ongoing operations. By 2013, amid growing challenges in the global children's TV market, no further ownership adjustments occurred, but the partners initiated final preparations for wind-down. In November 2013, shortly after acquired full ownership of by buying out its remaining partners, and Corus jointly decided to discontinue the KidsCo service by early 2014.
