Busy Bees links up with digital children’s TV channel

Children from Busy Bees nurseries and co-founder of the group Marg Randles are stars of a new online children’s channel.

E-Bop.tv is the first British digital children’s television channel to launch with a built-in control that switches the channel off after two hours of activity.

The channel aims to be a portal for original, British digital content inspiring children and parents to switch off the TV and learn through play. Content includes TV series, Vlog posts, magazine-style articles, and downloadable resources. It also has a no advertising policy.

The channel’s ‘anchor’ is a dog called Herbie the Hound, a two-year-old Grand Baset Griffon Vendeen, owned by co-founder Victoria Brook. Co-founder Keith Littler has produced and written BAFTA-nominated series for the BBC, Nickelodean and ITV.
