KT announced on the 12th that it will launch 'Carrie TV' for the first time on Olleh TV on the 13th, as the first IPTV service.

'Carrie TV' is a TV channel service for the YouTube Kids channel 'Carrie and Toy Friends,' produced by the kids content company Carrie TV. 'Carrie and Toy Friends' is launching as an official TV broadcast channel exclusively on Olleh TV. Anyone subscribed to the 'Olleh TV Live 10' plan or higher can watch 'Carrie TV' on channel 143 without any additional cost.

In addition to the YouTube content 'Carrie and Toy Friends', 'Carrie and Books', and 'Carrie and Play', which have recorded 2.6 billion views, 'Carrie TV' introduces about 80 new diverse play-learning programs every month, including English, art, and sports. You can watch programs such as 'Carrie and Toy Friends', 'Ellie Goes - Today's Challenge', 'Carrie's Block Play', 'Teacher Joy's Imagination Board', and 'Let's Play English' on Olleh TV three weeks earlier than on YouTube.

In addition, the music drama 'Carrie and Song,' which was not available on YouTube, and popular programs 'Carrie and Books' and 'Carrie and Play' will be released for the first time as full TV versions.

To mark the launch of 'Carrie TV,' KT has applied a new TV-optimized user interface (UI), allowing users to immediately select and watch Video-on-Demand (VOD) content in addition to live channels by pressing channel number 143. When switching to 'Carrie TV,' related content appears on a single screen, making it convenient to watch content without the hassle of navigating to other menus.

With the launch of this service, the whole family can conveniently enjoy 'Carrie and Toy Friends' together in the living room on a large TV screen.

Meanwhile, KT possesses the largest collection of kids' and educational content in Korea, totaling over 62,000 titles. Last year, it introduced a new "Children's World" mode with a user interface (UI) tailored to children's perspectives, and also launched play-learning services such as "DreamWorks Channel," "Pororo TV," and "Pinkfong TV." Among these, "Pinkfong TV" surpassed 10,000 subscribers within just three weeks of its launch, driving the popularity of kids' content. In addition, it has received favorable reviews for launching the world's first IPTV Hyper VR service, 'TV Sook,' a new concept kids-specialized service that allows children to become the main characters on TV.

Kang In-sik, Senior Vice President of Content Business at KT Media Headquarters, said, “Just as we introduced various kids-specialized services for the first time in the industry this year, such as ‘TV Sook,’ ‘Pinkfong TV,’ and ‘Carrie TV,’ we will continue to introduce differentiated services based on our ‘People Technology’ leadership.”
