ABC 4 Kids is a preschool children's block, broadcast on the Australian television channel ABC2. Launched on 2 May 2011, it is the responsibility of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's television division, and is available nationally to digital television viewers in Australia. It broadcast from 6am to 7pm each day sharing the same bandwidth with ABC2 (broadcast after 7pm).
History
It was originally named ABC Kids until 2005, on ABC1 ABC for Kids was launched, with times 8:00am to 11:00am and 2:55pm to 4:00pm. From 4 December 2009 (the same day when 6 to 14 year olds' channel ABC3 was launched), a new preschool children's block, ABC For Kids On 2 was launched on ABC2, featuring children's programming everyday until 7pm. Some ABC2 programmes had to be cancelled or relocated to other channels, such as Rage, which is now seen exclusively on ABC1. The block was extended to start as a new channel sharing the same bandwidth of ABC2 at 6am and end at 7pm and rebranded as ABC 4 Kids on 2 May 2011.[3]
