Ketnet is a public children's television channel in Flanders, owned and operated by the VRT, Flanders' public broadcaster. The station aims[citation needed] to provide an alternative to violent commercial children's programming broadcast on some commercial channels. Amongst kids in Flanders, Ketnet is the most popular kids channel[citation needed] owing partly[original research?] to its mix of quality locally-produced programming and imported productions. Ketnet broadcasts on the second public channel from 7am until 8pm when VRT's highbrow station Canvas takes over transmission (every weekday or often around noon in the weekend), but is subject to break-ins by sports coverage.
