The international children’s channel KidsCo has announced its launch in Austria on Liwest, the country’s second largest cable television operator. It will be available to Austrian viewers in German from September 2010.
KidsCo will broadcast its range of “family friendly programming” including Pecola, Sabrina: The animated Series, Dino Squad, Fat Dog Mendoza and Super Mario Bros. Additionally, the channel will air KidsCo original programming Boo & Me and Jass Time! across Liwest’s extended basic package.

We are really excited about launching in Austria and exposing KidsCo programming to more subscribers. We are pleased with our existing expansion in Western Europe and will continue to keep this area as a focus through 2011.
