Virgin Media gives kids channels at no extra costs

March 31, 2020 11.40 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Virgin Media has said it will give customers access to seven of its most popular channels at no extra cost in an offer that will run until April 14.

It comes as many children are at home in what is expected to be a protracted period away from school.

The suite of channels includes Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Cartoonito and Nickelodeon that between them include a range of shows from Ben 10, Paw Patrol, Teen Titans and classics like Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo and Spongebob Squarepants.

The full list of channels is Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Cartoonito, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, NickToons and Nick Jr Too.

The upgrade is available to customers on Virgin Media’s Player, Mixit (without Kids TV pick) and Maxit (without Kids TV pick) bundles at no extra cost.

Virgin Media has also given 2.7 million of its pay monthly mobile customers an additional 10 GB data and unlimited minutes at no extra cost, as well as permanently removing data caps for customers on its legacy broadband to help them stay connected.
