Junior is a TV channel made just for kids! It started broadcasting in Germany in 1996 and in Israel in 1997. Junior is known for showing lots of fun cartoons and animated shows.
Sometimes, Junior shares its TV spot with other channels. This means that Junior might broadcast during certain hours, and then another channel takes over for the rest of the day. For example, in Germany, after 8 PM, the channel slot is sometimes used by XL TV, which shows anime. In the past, Junior also shared time with channels like K-Toon (for cartoons), Gametrix (for video games), and d+ (for entertainment).
