Free Access for a Month
Virgin Media is opening up a bundle of kids channels to eligible TV customers from 1 October to 31 October 2026. The line-up, normally an extra £5 a month, includes Sky Kids, Cartoon Network, Cartoonito, Boomerang, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Nick Jr. Too, Nicktoons and Baby TV plus hundreds of on-demand episodes. The move lands just before October half term and runs until 31 October at 6am.
Shows Families Can Watch
Children will find Pip and Posy’s Spooktacular Party on Sky Kids, Adventure Time Side Quests and The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball Halloween Special on Cartoon Network, SpongeBob SquarePants on Nickelodeon, PAW Patrol on Nick Jr. and HexVets & Magic Pets on Nick Jr. The content stays available through the Virgin TV Go app over Wi-Fi, 4G or 5G.
Who Can Take It Up
The offer is open to Mixit and Maxit customers without a Kids Pick and to Player customers without a Kids Pick. Richard Vivian, Director of Commercial Development at Virgin Media O2, said: “We know the school holidays can be a busy time for families, so we’re giving customers access to some of our most popular kids’ channels at no extra cost throughout October.
“With favourites from Sky Kids, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Baby TV, alongside hundreds of episodes available on demand, there is plenty for children of all ages to enjoy. It’s a little extra value for our customers and a great way to help keep the kids entertained during half term.”
