There’s a new channel in town, and it’s just for babies. It’s great news that Dish Network now offers the first and only programming designed just for the little ones in the family. BabyFirstTV is one of the latest additions to Dish Network’s already exceptional family programming. This innovative channel is endorsed and approved by development experts and has a ton of imaginative, commercial-free programming designed for kids ages 6 months to 3 years. EchoStar, based in Englewood, Colo. is proud to include this latest addition to the dishnetwork family. You can find this kid-oriented network on channel 126. It’s available as an a la carte option for less than ten dollars a month, and free previews are running in the Preview showroom, which is channel 288.
BabyFirstTV is a 24-hour, commercial-free channel created expressly for babies, toddlers, young children and their parents. Learning is the name of the game, and this channel supports early learning, play, and interaction with mom and dad. The low cost of BabyFirstTV is less than the cost of a DVD designed for babies and a single month would have over 700 hours of programming for baby and parents! BabyFirstTV has over 40 original shows for young children. Some of the programs are: Rainbow Horse, I Can Sign and Sandman. Parents will also be familiar with some of the brands that will be featured on this new channel. For example, Baby Songs, First Impressions, Brainy Baby, So Smart and others. Color coded programs will indicate to parents the educational content of each program. Blue will be for number education and green will indicate educational content that engages the senses. Subtitles are included, where appropriate, to help parents learn how to best use original programs. Also, programming is smarter than it seems at first glance. It is uniquely calculated to provide layers of instruction so that older or faster kids can focus on different things within the same programming.
This deeply rich, instructional content will provide children with hours of learning they have never seen before. Positive programs will encourage faster education and stimulate new learning methods for young children. One of the shows features two squirrels playing a game called hot and cold, trying to find the acorns they have hidden. Another program is called The Numbers Farm and it will help children learn to count. It also promotes friendship and learning about animals. Learning to count to five has never been so much fun before. See this channel and much more family programming on Dish Network.
