KT (TV channel)

KT (short for Kids' Television) was a free-to-air children's television channel owned by TVVC. It was launched on 19th April, 1999 replacing the pre-school programming block Tiny Vision, and aired everyday from 6:00a.m. to 8:00p.m. The channel aired a variety of programming aimed at both younger and older children, including original programming and acquired programming mostly from European sources.

The channel closed on 22nd June, 2008 following budget cuts TVVC was facing at the time.

Pre-launch
Before KT, TVVC had ran several programming strands on Vision 1. Including Saturday evening programming strand Bumper's Block from 1991 to 1997 and Tiny Vision from 1997 to 1999. In early 1999, it was announced that Tiny Vision would be discontinued in April that year in favour of a children's television channel that would replace it.

Early history: 1999-2004
KT officially launched at 6:00a.m. on 19th April, 1999.

Programming
KT had a general children's target audience and therefore broadcast both pre-school shows and shows targeted to older children. However, it claimed itself as a very "equal" channel, citing that "all of [their] shows are suitable for all groups of children, regardless of age and gender". In addition to its own original programming, KT acquired programming from foreign countries, mostly from European markets. The channel broadcast both newer and older shows, including shows that were carried over from Bumper's Block and Tiny Vision.
