KidsCo (DStv 308 /TopTV 255) unveiled the children channel's new look today at 06:00 (South African time) just as I reported in September last year would be happening early in 2013.

As part of the refreshed on-air imaging, KidsCo, which reaches 15 million subscribers worldwide, will also be rolling out new content for kids during 2013 as the channel transitions to Corus Entertainment's fascilities at their Toronto-based headquarters, Corus Quay.

KidsCo also has a new website at www.kidsco.tv. New shows on KidsCo include Grossology, the brother and sistem clean team; Barbar the elephant who tells his numerous stories about he became the king of the animals; and the robot Rollie Pollie Ollie who lives on the planet Pollie with his dog Spot.

Later in the year KidsCo will roll out the new original production Zuzu and the Supernuffs, currently being produced by Matchbox Pictures from NBCUniversal with whom KidsCo announced a new content deal last year.

Zuzu and the Supernuffs follows five furry intergalactic Nuffs who crashland on Earth in a rusty old bathtub and meet a new friend, Zuzu.
