Children's hour - all day, every day

Article Abstract:

BBC UK TV has joined with Flextech, the largest cable television operator in the US, to launch UK PLAY. This channel is designed to compete with MTV, which has always led the UK music broadcasting sector. It also aims to rival mainstream entertainment channels. One of its key approaches will be to take established shows and extend their remit. Features will include 'Top of the Pops Plus,' which will include material not shown on the ordinary 'Top of the Pops' programme, and a live 'O Zone' named 'The Phone Zone.'
