Discovery Kids was a British and Irish pay television channel targeted towards a child audience. Initially launched in February 2000 exclusively on ONdigital (later ITV Digital) alongside its timesharing service Discovery Wings, it was soon expanded to other platforms such as Sky Digital and Virgin Media. The channel was closed with Discovery Wings on 28 February 2007 to make way for Discovery Turbo, which took over both the daytime and evening slots.
