Pingu in Kuboia

The Swiss stop-motion animated television series Pingu has aired on several television channels in Kuboia.

History on Kuboian television
The show debuted on Bumper's Block in September 1995, originally occupying the 7:30p.m. slot, with two episodes airing each week just before an episode of The Adventures of Charlie and Tutu. It continued to air on and off the strand until its discontinuation in 1997.

Pingu returned to Kuboian television in September 1998, in which it appeared on the programming block KT, which in turn launched as a channel in April 1999. The show regularly aired on KT throughout the channel's entire lifespan until its closure in November 2008.

Reruns of the show were aired on Boomerang from December 2008 until December 2010, though only seasons 1 through 4 were ever aired on the channel.

In February 2018, reruns of Pingu began airing on Tooncast. As of 2021, two episodes are broadcast on Sunday nights at 8:00p.m., with several episodes airing from midnight to 6:00a.m. on every other day.

Differences to international versions
Unlike international versions, "Pingu Dance" by David Hasselhoff acts as the theme tune for all six seasons.

When the show was broadcast on KT, the credits for season 5 and 6 had the "Pingu Dance" edited over the usual credit song. In Tooncast reruns, meanwhile, the credit sequence for season 5 and 6 is omitted and replaced with the short outro sequence from the earlier seasons.

Pingu Dance charting history
"Pingu Dance" by David Hasselhoff reached number 11 in the Karuboia charts in October 1995. It re-entered the chart temporarily in June 2003 due to a performance of the song on Kuboian Children's Day that year, where it re-charted at number 45.
