K-T.V. (also known as Kids TV) was a children's network broadcast in Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Cyprus and South Africa as a programming block on M-Net and later on FilmNet. It was owned by Multichoice. In Greece, it used to air in the morning and afternoon on Alfa TV exclusively for NOVA.

Its sister programming block was K-TV World (also known as K-World), which aired mostly in the afternoon, while K-T.V. aired in the morning.

History

[edit | edit source]

Scandinavia and the Netherlands: It was a programming block on Filmnet (temporary called FilmNet Plus and renamed later as FilmNet 1 in Sweden), from January 1, 1993, to January 11, 1997. It was broadcasting in the mornings and the noon/afternoon.[1] It had a sister programming block called "K-TV mini".

Greece: The network was replaced on October 1, 2001, by Fox Kids. However, the site and the club were still active.

Cyprus: It was a programming block on Alfa TV,[2] until January 2002, when it was replaced by a Nickelodeon one.[3] The block is not to be confused with Kids TV, the K-T.V. block's spiritual successor, independently managed by the channel itself.

The African version signed a strategic alliance with Nickelodeon in 1999, providing it with programming.[4]
