The French international broadcaster TV5 Monde will launch its on-demand kids portal TiVi5Monde Plus this Tuesday, June 23, at 15.00 CET.
Drawing from the catalogues of all the partner broadcasters, France Télévisions, Radio-Canada, RTBF, Télé-Québec and TSR, the new website will offer a wide variety of kids programming aimed at 3 – 12 year olds. The new site comes as an addition to the VOD French language movies portal launched earlier this year.
Programming will include cartoons and series, entertainment programming, educational programming and a daily news bulletin les Niouzz.
The VOD portal can be accessed worldwide with the exception of France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and the US due to copyright restrictions.
