ABC Kids (Australia)

ABC Kids is the name of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's part-time channel, broadcasting shows between the hours of 5am and 7pm in each local Australian market for children aged 2–6 years. ABC Kids shares the same bandwidth as ABC2 which broadcasts outside of ABC Kids' scheduled hours and supplements the flagship ABC channel with extra adult-oriented programming.

History

1991–2001: Origins

In 1991, all children's programming on the ABC was organised into a daily broadcasting block under the name ABC For Kids. This new programming block featured a range of programming ranging from preschoolers to young children and included both old and new content. The logo featured six blocks (3 across, 2 down) with the top row lettered "A", "B" and "C", and the bottom row featuring an apple, a bee and a carrot beneath their respective letter.

2001–2009: ABC Kids

In 2001, the ABC For Kids timeslot was rebranded as ABC Kids and content was expanded to include shows for older children as well as younger children. A new logo was also introduced, featuring a solid green Lissajous curve (taken from the ABC's logo) with "ABC Kids" in lowercase blue letters in front.
