Animated Shows
The channel shows many popular cartoons. These are often acquired animated series, meaning they get them from other creators or countries.
No Live-Action or Preschool Shows

It also doesn't have shows specifically for very young children (preschoolers). Instead, they sometimes show Korean variety shows, which are popular entertainment programs in South Korea.
