David Bouchier, the CEO of Virgin Media, commented: “Our Virgin TV Kids app is a safe and fun space designed exclusively for preschoolers, Virgin TV’s youngest customers. Parents and carers can let their children explore the best children’s TV shows from all their favorite channels such as Disney, Nick Jr., Boomerang and more, as well as a wide range of books and games safe in the knowledge that kids can never be exposed to age-inappropriate or harmful content. Our Kids app has not only the U.K.’s best selection of preschool entertainment, but it comes with added peace of mind for parents—an environment free from ads and other commercial influences. Best of all it comes at no extra cost to Virgin TV customers who subscribe to our kids’ channels. What could be a better parental antidote for the holidays!”
