History

[edit]

Founded in April 2019 by seven professionals hailing from journalism, the arts, information technology, mass communication, education and other social science fields, the first television station dedicated to children's programming was established with 30 million birr (1 million dollars) in investment. The station commenced operations on International Day of the African Child, a celebration initiated by the then Organization of African Unity in 1991.[1]
