Ketnet is a Dutch-language public children's television channel in Belgium owned and operated by the VRT, Flemish public broadcaster. It broadcasts a mix of locally produced and imported productions on the VRT3 channel from 6 am until 8 pm.
On 1 December 1997, BRTN 2 was replaced by Canvas and Ketnet. From the start of the channel, the program offering from Flemish soil has been diversified. The best-known and/or longest-running titles are Amika, Dag Sinterklaas, De Boomhut, Karrewiet, Kulderzipken, Mega Mindy, Samson en Gert, Spring, and W817. In addition, various foreign series are also purchased.
Ketnet started as a channel for 4 to 15-year-olds. Programs were broadcast to young teenagers such as Studio.Ket, King of the Hill, NBA Jam, Ultratop, Ready or Not and Married... with Children, among others. In September 1999, the target group was changed to 4 to 12-year-olds, and no new teenage programs were purchased.[1] Ultratop was last broadcast on 31 December 2000[2] and King of the Hill on 12 January 2001.[3] Nowadays Ketnet broadcasts for 2 to 12-year-olds.
Since Ketnet underwent a major renewal operation in April 2006, many old (regular) programs have disappeared from the programming, including Zorro, Skippy, Tintin, Once Upon a Time..., The Busy World of Richard Scarry, Tik Tak, Bassie and Adriaan, Allemaal beestjes, Alfred J. Kwak, Hey Arnold!, Liegebeest, Postbus X and Pingu. Many of these programs were also broadcast by the predecessor BRTN TV2 before the creation of Ketnet.
On 1 May 2012, Ketnet has been moved on a new channel, timesharing with OP12. OP12 closed on 31 December 2014.[4]
The preschool programmes are broadcast on Ketnet Junior between 10 am to 7 pm on VRT Canvas.
Its French-language counterpart is Auvio Kids TV on La Trois.
As with VRT's main television station één, Ketnet employs in-vision continuity announcers. In the case of Ketnet, the announcers also present various programmes for the station and are known as Ketnetwrappers.
On 17 November 2007, Ketnet launched KetnetRadio, an online radio station consisting of a looped 3-hour programme, broadcast for 24 hours. A new programme is produced and broadcast every day. KetnetRadio is presented by Ketnet presenter and continuity announcer Kristien Maes. Listeners can tune in on Ketnet's website.
