Kids Channel (Mauritian TV channel)
Television channel in Mauritius
Kids Channel, previously known as Knowledge Channel (2007–2014), was a free-to-air cartoon television channel in Mauritius operated by the Mauritius Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), the national state broadcaster. Launched as the Knowledge Channel on 18 September 2007, it primarily broadcast cartoons, anime, teen sitcoms, game shows, and children's educational TV series in both English and French. On 15 September 2014, MBC renamed the channel to Kids Channel. At a certain time, the frequency went on live streaming of TV5Monde. The channel ceased operations on 31 January 2015 as part of MBC's broader programming review, which also affected the MBC News Channel. The channel was accessible via digital terrestrial television.
History
In December 2006, MBC announced its plan to introduce 12 new channels, with prominent mentions of Knowledge Channel, Sports 11, and Ciné 12. Although MBC initially targeted a launch date of 12 March 2007, to coincide with Mauritius' National Day, the launch was postponed. The Knowledge Channel officially began broadcasting on 18 September 2007. At peak viewing times, it aired children's programming, alongside recorded TV shows from TV5Monde and Voice of America.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kids Channel (Mauritian TV channel)” as television channel in Mauritius. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as television channel in Mauritius. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16852747. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2014, 2015 and 2006.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
