Majid Kids TV
An Arabic-language children's television channel and entertainment brand operated by Abu Dhabi Media Network.
Last updated August 31, 2026
Overview
Majid Kids TV is an Arabic-language children's television channel associated with Abu Dhabi Media Network, the media organization owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi. The channel forms part of Abu Dhabi Media Network's television portfolio alongside Abu Dhabi TV, Al Emarat TV, Abu Dhabi Sports, Yas TV, National Geographic Abu Dhabi and other specialist services. Its name and identity are linked to Majid, the Arabic children's publishing brand and magazine within the same media ecosystem. The brand is positioned around children's entertainment rather than general-interest broadcasting. Its core offer consists of animated series, children's cartoons and other programming intended for young Arabic-speaking audiences. This gives Abu Dhabi Media Network a dedicated youth-facing channel and extends the Majid identity from print publishing into television and digital media. The broader Majid brand is also represented through websites and applications operated by Abu Dhabi Media Network. Majid Kids TV operates within a state-backed media group that originated as Emirates Media in 1999 and was reorganized as Abu Dhabi Media Company under Abu Dhabi legislation in 2007. The organization subsequently developed a multi-platform portfolio spanning television, radio, newspapers, magazines, digital services, sports broadcasting and film-related activities. In 2023, Abu Dhabi Media was rebranded as Abu Dhabi Media Network. Majid Kids TV is listed among the network's television assets under that current group structure. The channel's strategic role is to provide locally relevant Arabic children's content within the network's broader cultural and media portfolio. Alongside imported or acquired animated programming, a channel of this type can support the visibility of the Majid publishing property and create continuity between magazine, television and digital experiences, although the available reference material does not establish a complete list of original productions, commissioning arrangements or distribution territories. Publicly available material supplied for this entry does not provide a verified launch date, founder, financial information, detailed audience figures, current channel executives or a full programming catalogue. Accordingly, those fields are left unspecified rather than inferred. The available evidence does establish the channel's identity, its Arabic children's-entertainment focus and its place within Abu Dhabi Media Network's current asset portfolio.
History
Majid Kids TV belongs to the Majid family of children's media properties associated with Abu Dhabi's government-backed media organization. The wider parent organization began in 1999 as Emirates Media. In June 2007, Abu Dhabi Media Company was established as a joint-stock company wholly owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi, using the assets of Emirates Media. During the following years, the organization expanded from its original broadcasting and publishing base into a broad portfolio of television channels, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, digital services and film-related ventures. The Majid identity represents the children's publishing and entertainment side of that portfolio. Abu Dhabi Media's assets include the Majid magazine and related digital services, as well as Majid Kids TV. The television brand therefore operates not as an unrelated standalone channel, but as a screen extension of an established Arabic children's media identity. Its role is to deliver cartoons and other youth-oriented programming to Arabic-speaking children and families while reinforcing the broader Majid brand across platforms. The channel sits within a television portfolio that also includes Abu Dhabi TV, Al Emarat TV, Abu Dhabi Sports, Yas TV, National Geographic Abu Dhabi and Baynounah TV. This portfolio gives Abu Dhabi Media Network access to several audience segments, with Majid Kids TV serving the children's and family-entertainment segment. The supplied reference material does not provide a verified launch year, details of the channel's original commissioning strategy, or a complete account of its distribution and programming history. Those matters are therefore not stated as established facts here. Abu Dhabi Media continued to develop and restructure its wider operations through the 2010s. In 2019, its board was reconstituted following a resolution by Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company. On 19 September 2023, Abu Dhabi Media was rebranded Abu Dhabi Media Network. Majid Kids TV remains identified as one of the network's television assets under that structure. The brand's current significance lies in its combination of Arabic children's programming, the established Majid publishing name and the network's wider digital and broadcast infrastructure.
