After its website specially created for mobile phones and its VOD platform devoted to the French-speaking cinema, TV5MONDE has now added this new Children's WEB TV service as part of its transition to global media.

This innovative service will provide both French-speaking families and Francophiles keen to introduce their children to French, with access to high-quality children's programmes in a safe environment with none of the inconvenience caused by time zone differences.

- TiVi5MONDE PLUS: A wealth of high quality entertainment and educational programmes

Working closely with its partner broadcasters (FranceTelevisions, Radio-Canada, RTBF, Tele-Quebec and TSR), TV5MONDE has selected the very best French-speaking children's programmes. The programme schedules for TiVi5MONDE PLUS include content already broadcast and also a number of exclusive features never before shown on TV5MONDE. The programme line-up includes four categories:

-- Cartoons: Cedric, Pat and Stan, Titeuf, Inami, Rantanplan, Kid Paddle,
Sam Sam, Spirou & Fantasio, Shuriken School, Le manege enchante and
Raymond...
-- General entertainment (magazine programmes, game shows and fiction):
Les p'tits amateurs, Neurones, Blabla, Le broco show, Les aventures de
Wambi and Deja vu...
-- Educational programmes: Une minute au musee, Les petits citoyens and
Merci professeur

-- The daily news: Les Niouzz

Various competitions and educational features are also organised around a number of these programmes. Also designed to promote the French language to youngsters abroad, Children's WEB TV will provide teachers with educational activities to encourage the "learning and teaching of French through the use of cartoons".

To celebrate the launch of Children's WEB TV, throughout the launch period TiVi5MONDE PLUS will be running "Kirikou et la sorciere" one of the finest French language feature-length animated films, accessible for the first time via the Internet.

- A WEB TV service carefully designed for easy and unaided navigation by youngsters, accessible in a secure area.

With the focus firmly on user-friendliness, TiVi5MONDE PLUS has been designed to facilitate navigation by children, who can explore the exciting world of WEB TV unaided, and watch their favourite programmes in full-screen mode with a single click on their computer desktop.

The range of available programmes is further added to on a daily basis. Programmes can be watched either "on demand" or live. Thanks to the "Mon tivi5" option, children can also organise their own programme schedule.
