All videos on U Music TV have been approved by a panel of parents and certified as safe for kids under the age of 12. U Music TV will be available on Sky channel 212, Freeview 254 and Freesat 161 starting\u00a0Saturday, January 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as well as online and via apps 24\/7.<\/p>\n<p>The channel was created by CEO and Founder of U Music TV and mother-of-two Christina Evans, who came up with the idea after accidentally watching an explicit music video. Evans commented: \u201cWithin minutes I envisioned a music channel that provides safe screen time and allows children to enjoy pop videos without being exposed to potentially damaging, stereotypical and inappropriate images and language.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic is fun but should still allow kids to be kids. I grew up with MTV when all sorts of videos were deemed \u2018acceptable,\u2019 but the current need for artists to shock is spiraling out of control. Having surveyed over 500 parents of children under 12, I found that 80 percent didn&#8217;t allow their children to watch any music channels without constant parental supervision. The success of umusictv.co.uk online has made it possible to bring this popular concept to Sky, Freeview and Freesat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Evans added\u00a0that on U Music TV, \u201cYou\u2019ll find P!nk&#8217;s \u2018Just Like Fire\u2019 but not \u2018You and Your Hand.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANCHESTER: U Music TV, an online pop-music TV channel for children under the age of 12, is launching on Sky, Freeview and Freesat this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[2200,2201,975,2202],"class_list":["post-11531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-freesat","tag-freeview","tag-sky","tag-u-music-tv","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kids\u2019 Online Pop-Music Channel to Roll Out in the U.K. - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kids\u2019 Online Pop-Music Channel to Roll Out in the U.K. - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"MANCHESTER: U Music TV, an online pop-music TV channel for children under the age of 12, is launching on Sky, Freeview and Freesat this weekend.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-01-06T15:31:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-01-06T19:05:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/worldscreen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/\",\"name\":\"Kids\u2019 Online Pop-Music Channel to Roll Out in the U.K. - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2017-01-06T15:31:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2017-01-06T19:05:54+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/kids-online-pop-music-channel-to-roll-out-in-the-u-k\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Kids\u2019 Online Pop-Music Channel to Roll Out in the U.K.\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
