where does it say that?
Foxtel Guide and feature article.
It will be PBS Kids’ second international channel (it is currently available in sub-Saharan Africa).

why can’t the foxtel app on mobiles have a fast forward and rewind section. Occasionally i like to skip 10 seconds if the episode has fluff or find the exact spot I was at. Really annoying!
Also the desktop site should have picture in picture on the screen, so you can watch on the side panel and keep going about your other daily activity online.

The Dreamworks channel isn’t a surprise considering the pop-up channel they did last year

Im very picky on the TV my kids get to watch - I like shows that are educational, and are not too “preachy” - a few PBS shows fit this bill (especilly daniel tiger) so i can see this becoming a regular channel on my TV along with Ceebeebies and ABC kids

I’ve been waiting for picture in picture for years, especially for the iOS apps. Foxtel Go has all but made itself obselete to me these days, given it demands full screen use of any device I’m watching it on. Agree with the fast forward and rewind buttons too, the scroller is excruciatingly difficult to pinpoint an exact time to scroll to, or to scroll in a small increment of time.

FOXTEL expands family offering with the launch of two new dedicated kids channels – DreamWorks and PBS KIDS
FOXTEL has expanded its kids and family content offering with the addition of two powerhouse new channels – DreamWorks and PBS KIDS – bringing viewers hours of additional premium family entertainment from today.
FOXTEL and NBCUniversal International Networks (NBCUIN) have officially launched DreamWorks – the 24-hour channel dedicated to kids and family entertainment – offering FOXTEL customers access to the hugely popular content from one of the world’s most recognisable animation studios.
The FOXTEL Group is the exclusive home of the channel in Australia, transporting families on a journey through the fantastical and colourful worlds of DreamWorks characters, and bringing epic adventures, adrenaline pumping action and a touch of comedy.
DreamWorks will present a slate of Emmy® award-winning, original television series such as Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Dragons: Riders of Berk and the critically acclaimed Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters . Other fan-favourites include The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny , Dawn of the Croods , The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Noddy Toyland Detective.
FOXTEL has also collaborated with PBS Distribution to launch PBS KIDS – the number one educational media brand for kids in the U.S. – opening worlds of possibilities to young viewers with high-quality educational content parents can trust.
Children will be enthralled by award-winning programs such as Arthur – a four-time recipient of the Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Animated Program; and Peabody Award-winner, Molly of Denali . Other programs include the Australian premieres of Donkey Hodie , a whimsical social-emotional puppet series, produced by Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures, that encourages pre-schoolers to aim high, embrace challenges and work hard to achieve their goals; and Elinor Wonders Why – a STEM-based cartoon series about a curious rabbit and her pals living in Animal Town.
Amanda Laing, Chief Commercial and Content Officer, FOXTEL Group, said: “We’re delighted to be working with both NBCUniversal International Networks and PBS Distribution to bring these exciting new channels to our customers, with their compelling slate of award-winning and beloved series.
“FOXTEL is committed to providing viewers the very best in family entertainment, and the addition of DreamWorks and PBS KIDS boosts our already strong suite of kids channels. It is yet another example of our continued mission to become an aggregator of the world’s best content on our platform.”
DreamWorks and PBS KIDS join FOXTEL’s existing lineup of kids channels that includes two dedicated kids’ movie channels: FOXTEL Movies Kids and FOXTEL Movies Family, with all movies shown ad-break free.

The AFR is hearing that News Corp and Telstra are evaluating whether to float Foxtel on the ASX. If it were to occur, Telstra would be able to exit the company if it so desired.
