==History== |
|||
ABC Kids commenced as a replacement in 2000 for the previously aired ''ABC for Kids'' branding used on [[ABC Television]] and [[ABC Online]]. On 7 March 2005, [[ABC2]] launched allowing for ABC Kids' programming to be broadcast for 13 hours a day across [[ABC1]] and [[ABC2]]. Currently, ABC Kids offers a wide range of children's programing aimed at 4–6 year olds, and a smaller time in the day for 7–15 year olds. A related sub-brand, [[ABC Rollercoaster|Rollercoaster]], covers programs aimed at 8–15 year olds and a related website and magazine. |
