The National Geographic Kids programming block that debuted recently on MundoFox consists of quality educational programs the whole family can enjoy together. It is geared to kids ages 4 to 11 and will run from 9am to 12pm on Sundays. “We think a National Geographic Kids block will appeal to this audience because it is high quality, visually appealing and fun for kids of all ages. Our mission is to provide the Hispanic families a better option for family entertainment than what is currently available in the marketplace,” said Emiliano Saccone, president of MundoFox.The National Geographic Kids programming block features the following programs: 9am–9:30am Mama Mirabelle, a breakthrough preschool series that introduces little kids to the animal kingdom through gentle storytelling, memorable characters and stunning wildlife footage from the outstanding archives of National Geographic and the BBC.9:30am–10am Toot & Puddle, a delightful preschool series that begins to put the world into context for young viewers by following the adventures of two fun-loving, inquisitive but very different best friends. 10am–11am Are We There Yet? World Adventure, a global adventure series for kids by kids, hosted by real brother and sister duos. 11am–12pm Iggy Arbuckle, a fast-paced animated, buddy-comedy series for kids 6-11, filled with off-kilter critters, eccentric wildlife and natural phenomena that are anything but natural.The whole block will be wrapped in National Geographic Kids’ fun, reality-brand sensibility, including short-form Weird But True spots, moments of Awww, moments of Ewwww, funny animal shorts and more.
