Ketnet is a Dutch-language public children's television channel in Belgium owned and operated by the VRT, Flemish public broadcaster. It broadcasts a mix of locally produced and imported productions on the VRT3 channel from 6am until 8pm.

On 1 December 1997, BRTN 2 was replaced by Canvas and Ketnet.

On 1 May 2012, Ketnet has been moved on a new channel, timesharing with Op 12. Op 12 closed on 31 December 2014.

The preschool programmes are broadcast on Ketnet Junior between 10am to 7pm on Canvas.

Its French-language counterpart is Ouftivi on La Trois.
