Default Baby TV

Is this available in Dubai? We get it through Virgin in the uk and pretty sure the little one won't do without it!

I very much doubt you'd get the idential channel in the UAE as you would in the UK. We are entirely different countries after all.

There are children's channels available from local stations and live streaming is available for many UK channels via a computer.

Sorry, I have no idea. My son doesn't watch Baby TV. If you had asked me about Disney Junior, I could have been more helpful !

Yes, we do get Baby TV in Dubai and it is the most annoying channel on TV ever! My son was obsessed with it when he was about 2 to 3 years old. I am so glad he's grown out of that phase! Baby TV is now banned in my house

Some of the series that I can remember - Baby Chef, Draco, Jammers, Kenny & Goorie, Pitch & Potch, Mr. Snail, Vegimals/Vegimer, Wooly

Disney Jr. and Disney XD are so much better!

i'm looking forward to this adventure resulting in a massive decrease in TV reliance.
I don't let my children watch commercial kids TV - only the BBC. The advertisements on commercial children's programming is truly attrocious.
Commercial channels tend to buy in too, rather than make home-grown programming.

We'll work out how to get some UK stuff via the computer, but Disney Channel etc is OUT! Drivel!

Good luck!
