Samsung has been adding several new features to its Free Ad-Supported TV (FAST) service, Samsung TV Plus, over the past few months. With its new lineup of TVs, Samsung TV Plus gained a new UI design. Now, it is getting a dedicated Kids section on smart TVs, making kids' content easier to access.
This section is currently available in South Korea and could expand to other markets.
Samsung TV Plus gets a dedicated Kids tab on smart TVs
The South Korean firm has announced the addition of the dedicated Kids tab in Samsung TV Plus. This section includes various family and kids-friendly content and videos. It also features a dedicated Kids Time channel, which broadcasts popular kids programming and a variety of Video On Demand (VOD) content. In addition, it has also brought Cocomelon (with over 170 million subscribers), Linda's Amazing Journey, Iku, and Galaxy Kids channels to this section. More content will be added soon.
Samsung has collaborated with Studio Acorn, a popular creator of kids' content, for the Kids Time Channel. It airs globally popular and high-quality K-animation content. In line with its catchphrase “a happy time for children,” Kids Time Channel aims to stream kids-friendly content, including educational content and content that spreads the message of diversity. An ad-free slot called Lullaby airs between 9 PM and 10 PM and helps children sleep.
Yong-Hoon Choi, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, said, “To celebrate Children's Day, we are pleased to provide a new viewing experience that children and families can enjoy together through Samsung TV Plus. We will continue to add quality content by strengthening our strategic partnerships.”
Recently, Samsung TV Plus received additional kids content, including Barbie and Friends, Hot Wheels Action, and Mattel Jr., to the global markets.
