Little Lunch to Premiere on Universal Kids
America’s NBC Universal is launching a new children’s television channel, with Little Lunch slated as one of the first series to air on the new service.
The Pay TV channel Universal Kids (formerly known as Sprout), will premiere the live-action comedy series at 8.00PM on Monday, September 11, following its launch on the 9th.
NBC Universal acquired Little Lunch for its children’s channel in a first-time deal secured by the ACTF International Sales team earlier in 2017.
