ABC Kids is the name given to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's children's programming. Its use began as a replacement for the previously aired "ABC for Kids" branding used on ABC TV and ABC Online in around the year 2000.
On March 7 2005, a new channel ABC2, launched, and allowed for ABC Kids' programming to be broadcast for 13 hours a day across ABC TV and ABC2.
Currently, ABC Kids offers a wide range of children's programing aimed at 4–6 year olds, and a smaller time in the day for 7–15 year olds. A related sub-brand, Rollercoaster, covers programs aimed at 8–15 year olds and a related website and magazine.
