At the beginning of January, Virgin Media announced it would be giving all of its UK TV customers free access to kids content, at no extra cost.

With the UK still in lockdown and half term holidays on the way, the telecoms giant has announced that it will not only be extending the offer, but it will also add even more content than before.

Customers will have access to 22 entertainment, lifestyle and learning-based channels; as well as thousands of on demand episodes. Some of the channels included in the offer are Discovery HD, Comedy Central HD and E4 HD.

The original kids TV offer ends on March 2, but from February 15 until March 16, you'll have access to all of the free content from this recent package.

The youngest viewers in your home can also access kids app, Hopster, for free until the end of March. The platform provides a safe environment for pre-schoolers to learn through the stories they love.

David Bouchier, Chief TV & Entertainment Officer at Virgin Media, said: “We realise that it can be challenging to find fresh and interesting ways to keep the kids (and ourselves!) entertained, especially during the winter months. That’s why we’ve boosted our free TV offering just in time for half term, giving all of our customers access to a large choice of additional channels and programmes".

In addition, Virgin Media has partnered with Tastemade to bring a selection of its premium food and travel shows to the platform.
