ABC Kids is the name given to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation 's children's programming. Its use began as a replacement for the previously aired "ABC for Kids" branding used on ABC TV and ABC Online in around the year 2000. In 2001, a half-day ABC Kids channel launched nationally, with ABC's youth-oriented and Optus Television . It could not gain carriage on Foxtel due to Foxtel's financial interests in the Australian rights to competitors' Nickelodeon and Fox Kids , Although the channel now airs many television shows owned by Nikelodeon. The ABC launched the channel without additional funding for it, hoping that its success would prompt an additional government grant. This strategy did not succeed. In July 2003, it went off air. The brand survived on ABC TV and ABC Online. On March 7 2005, a new channel ABC2 , launched. It carries many hours of ABC Kids programming, in addition to that broadcast on ABC TV. Currently, ABC Kids offers a wide range of children's programing aimed at 6–12 year olds. A related sub-brand, Rollercoaster , covers programs aimed at 12–16 year olds and a related website and magazine.
