YouTube Kids has been added to the range of apps running on free-to-air satellite platform Freesat and its 4K receivers.
Since its launch in the United States five years ago, YouTube Kids has become one of the most popular children’s apps available. It’s aimed at children under 13 and covers arts and crafts, sports, music and educational videos across a variety of subjects, plus cartoons and nursery rhymes to keep children entertained.
Alistair Thom, Managing Director, Freesat commented: “In addition to expanding even further the range of content on offer, this launch seems especially relevant at a moment when so many parents are juggling the demands of keeping their children entertained and educated with their own work. YouTube Kids provides something for everyone.”
Cedric Petitpas, Head of YouTube Kids, UK and Ireland added, “During this challenging time, bringing educational, fun and beneficial content to kids is more important than ever, and we are so happy that Freesat is making YouTube Kids accessible on their platform. With this addition, kids across the UK can keep the process of learning, growing and exploring while they’re at home.“
YouTube Kids can also be found on the Sky platform.
