Kidsco to close, replaced with Discovery Kids

According to information coming in, Dialog TV has replaced/or will be replacing Kidsco with Discovery Kids India following reports that the Kidsco channel will be closing down their Asian feed at the end of this month.

Kidsco which has been on Dialog TV for a number of years has constantly struggled against competition from Cartoon Network, Toonami and the likes not only in this region but internationally too. The Kidsco channel European feed closed at the end of last year and the South African & Asian feed will close end February 2014. Source: "Kidsco set to cease broadcasts".

Discovery Kids India mainly telecasts cartoons as opposed to the traditional educational programming that "Discovery" is known for. The channel is expected to introduce more educational programmes in the future. This channel telecasts cartoons such as "Transformers", "G.I Joe", etc entered the Sri Lankan market sometime last year.

We are still unclear whether the replacement has been carried out already, it is however expected either during the course today or in the coming days. Please keep us updated on the latest regarding the replacement of Kidsco with Discovery Kids & other information regarding Dialog TV in the days to come.
