The children’s and family channel RiC.today is set to launch on the Austrian television platform simpliTV on January 15, 2025. This ad-free channel, operated by German media company Your Family Entertainment (YFE), focuses on learning and educational content.
The channel blends entertaining elements with educational content covering a range of subjects from science to history. This provides young viewers with new opportunities to explore the world in English. RiC.today will join its sister channels, RiC TV and Fix&Foxi TV, which have been available on simpliTV since 2018. simpliTV is operated by Austrian technical service provider ORS Group.
“We are very pleased to introduce RiC.today on simpliTV. With RiC.today, we are expanding our offering with a unique learning channel that conveys knowledge to children in a playful way and gives parents the security of knowing that their children can consume and enjoy high-quality and age-appropriate content,” said Laurence Robinet, Chief Broadcast Officer of YFE.
Philipp Dainese, Managing Director of simpliTV, added: “With simpliTV, we not only want to make television easily accessible to all Austrians, but also offer them the greatest possible variety of content. We are all the more pleased that our youngest and smallest viewers in particular now have another option to watch entertaining content tailored to their needs with RiC.today.”
