deliver a one-stop destination available across screens that offers
the best and most extensive entertainment on the market," said
David Purdy, senior vice-president,

adopters of tech and children are naturals with second screens such
as tablets. We've designed Kids Zone to give customers a vast
library of the latest children's programming that is easily
accessible on multiple platforms through one cable
subscription."
The family friendly portal delivers a collection of popular kids
programming that is not available through over the top
services. Channel highlights include Disney Jr., Treehouse,
