Digital kids content purveyor Moonbug has launched a VOD service dubbed the Moonbug Kids Channel on Apple TV.
The offering — a pre-school-aimed service comprising programming from Little Baby Bum, My Magic Pet Morphle, Supa Strikas, Go Buster, Playtime With Twinkle, and Gecko’s Garage — is currently available for Apple TV users in the U.K., U.S., Canada, and Australia, and is set to expand to more countries soon. The channel, priced at $2 per month, is also available on the Apple TV app via select Samsung smart TVs, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV devices.
Moonbug notes that its stable of popular kids’ content — much of which has first found extraordinary success on YouTube — aims to promote healthy values in kid viewers like compassion and resilience, while helping them learn important life skills.
