Frisbee (TV channel)

Frisbee is an Italian TV channel marketed towards a preschool audience of 3-6 year olds owned by Discovery Italia.

History
Frisbee was launched by Switchover Media on 12 June 2010 replacing the Italian feed of Minimax. The channel was marketed at a male audience as a "Channel of Heroes".

After Switchover was acquired by Discovery Communications, On June 30, 2013 the channel rebranded in order to target a female audience and switched its aspect ratio to 16:9.

On April 30, 2015, the channel rebranded again and changed its focus to a general 4-9 year old audience.

Programs
During the beginning of the channel's existence (2011-2015), almost all the programmes featured were ex-Jetix shows acquired from Disney-ABC International Television which meant for the first few years, the channel would not need to acquire any new programming. Frisbee's top-drawing programs for the first few months were Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Spider-Man: The Animated Series, MegaMan NT Warrior, and Sonic X. A select number of programs were borrowed from GreenWarp's programming library, such as Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Twipsy, Redwall, and Space Goofs.

The current schedule currently focuses on the preschool demographic, featuring shows such as Curious George. Until mid-2019 there was a FRISBEEMINI block which aired shows aimed at preschoolers, however it was removed due to the channel shifting exclusively to that demographic. During the night it airs programs present on its sister channel K2, such as Oggy And The Cockroaches alongside shows from Discovery like Cake Boss.
