Tiny Vision

Tiny Vision was a Kuboian entertainment brand owned by TVVC that launched on 12th August 1996. It first began as a programming block on Vision One (then named Vision 1) before expanding into its own television channel a year later. The brand was marketed towards children aged nine and under, and broadcast a variety of (mostly pre-school) programmes, both original and acquired from mostly European sources.

Early history
Before its launch, Tiny Vision was preceded by an unbranded children's programming block on Vision One (then named Vision Network) that ran on weekday and weekend mornings. TVVC later launched a Saturday evening programming strand Bumper's Block in 1991, which was more family-orientated.

Tiny Vision officially launched on 12th August 1996, airing on Vision Network on weekdays from 6:00a.m. to 9:25a.m. and Sundays from 6:00a.m. to 12:00p.m., effectively replacing the unbranded children's block that aired beforehand.

Channel launch
Following the discontinuation of Bumper's Block in June 1997, TVVC announced that Tiny Vision would be launched as a channel. The channel officially launched on 11th August 1997, airing everyday from 10:00a.m. to 8:00p.m., though the block continued to air from 6:00a.m. to 9:25a.m.

Programming and structure
Tiny Vision's programming consisted of both old and contemporary preschool programming from mostly European origins, although it did occasionally acquire non-European programming. A majority of Bumper's Block's original programming was carried over to Tiny Vision after the former was axed.

As they were both owned by TVVC to some degree at the time, some of Tiny Vision's programming also later aired on Nick Jr. Kuboia, typically with the former airing newer episodes and the latter airing older episodes. When Bob the Builder premiered on Tiny Vision in the spring of 2002, it was only licensed to air episodes from the fifth series and earlier, and as such the first four series never aired as part of the strand.
