NOW TV reveals limited edition remote as new Kids Pass goes on sale

Tuesday 21 June 2016


Online streaming service NOW TV’s new Kids Month Pass goes on sale today, offering an easy way to get top kids TV without a contract for just £2.99 a month, and a special edition NOW TV kids remote.
  
Customers of the new pass can watch six amazing live kids channels as well as box sets and thousands of episodes on demand from Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, NickToons, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Cartoonito, CBeebies, CBBC, and Milkshake!, all via a unique immersive user interface (UI) designed specifically for kids, that is not just fun for them to use, but has an exit prompt for parental peace of mind.

To celebrate the arrival of the Kids Month Pass, NOW TV has also created a special edition remote. This simplified edition, featuring less buttons, reduces the chance of little-ones accidentally exiting their favourite show or leaving the kids UI. It also looks the part with a fun design featuring new NOW TV Kids character - Jessie. Over the summer selected NOW TV Kids Month Pass customers will be invited to claim a kids remote*.

Gidon Katz, Director of NOW TV, said: “As school breaks up, we are excited to fill in those short gaps in the busy summer days with the brilliant shows available on our new NOW TV Kids Month Pass. Not only will the new pass provide a fun, bespoke source of entertainment for kids, but with no contract it’s going to keep parents happy too.”

The NOW TV Kids Month Pass is available from today for £2.99 without a contract and comes with a free 14 day trial. For more information visit http://www.nowtv.com/kids
