Lionheart Kids

Lionheart Kids is the brand name for Lionheart’s children’s television block. The block was launched on February 19, 2021 and airs from 5:00am to 12:00pm every day. Majority of its programs are sourced from YouTube Kids, with some programs complied with the Children’s Television Act.

History
Vestron Comics, a small comic website, acquired JakeEyes Channel on January 11, 2021, announcing that it would be forming a new parent company, named Vestron Lionheart Media, with intentions to rebrand JakeEyes Channel to Lionheart, a new cable channel that would be a cable television feed of YouTube intended for lower-class audiences through a legal partnership with Google.

A COPPA-friendly children block, Lionheart Kids, would air on afternoons on weekday mornings while The Daily Egg, a satirical breakfast television programme would broadcast on weekend mornings.

The block was long scheduled to be launched on February 5, 2021, but due to technical difficulties, the block only launched on February 19, 2021 at 5am Eastern Time. The first program at launch was “Kings of Atlantis”.

On March 1, 2021, the block was launched in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Unlike its local Lionheart feed, the feed of Lionheart Kids had the same programming as its American counterpart.

Lionheart Kids is also expected to expand to other countries worldwide in the later parts of 2021 and 2022.
