ZooMoo is an international multilanguagepay television channel owned by Rock Entertainment Holdings that was first launched in Brazil in September 2013 inhigh definition (HD).[1] The ZooMoo brand name is also used for international programming blocks broadcasting ZooMoo's original programming. As of February 2026, the channel broadcasts overseas in countries like Australia, Singapore, Kenya, United States, and Mexico and its shows stream onKidoodle.TV andRakuten TV in countries like India, France, Italy, Germany and Spain.
ZooMoo featurespuppetry, animations, games, music, puzzles and activities.[2] Programming on the channel is a blend of in-house original productions and acquired programming such asJelly Jamm andMiss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends.
In 2012, two biology companies, Beach House Pictures and NHNZ, signed withDirecTV to make a new children’s television network by the name of “ZooMoo”. It was officially launched in Brazil on 11 September 2013, exclusive toSky, and by 21 August 2014, it was launched all over Latin America via DirecTV.
By 4 April 2014, it was launched in Singapore viaStarHub.
In 2016, Canadian-basedBlue Ant Media acquired a majority stake in the channel, alongside Beach House Kids and NHNZ, and by then, the Spanish feed was launched in theUnited States.
On 25 May 2018, the channel was launched in thePhilippines onEasy TV Home.
The channel launched on British cable television provider Virgin Media on channels 295 and 739 on 21 July 2018. A temporary duplicate of the SD channel launched a day later following the removal of theUKTV network of channels, taking the slot that was occupied byEden +1, until the channels were added back onto the EPG on 11 August 2018.
The SD version was removed from channel 295 a few days later. The HD channel was removed from Virgin Media on 7 January 2020, the same day as5Spike andVH1 closed. The UK channel later closed in the same year.
On 1 December 2018, a ZooMoo programming block was launched onCignal's exclusive channel,Colours.[3]
In Latin America, Brazil and the United States, ZooMoo is operated byAMC Networks International. Currently, the United States and Latin America share a ZooMoo feed, which is available in English and Spanish. The Brazilian feed, known as "DumDum" (formerly known as ZooMoo Kids and ZooMoo) features some exclusive shows produced in Brazil, and only features programming in Portuguese.
In March 2020, ZooMoo’s flagship channel in Brazil was rebranded as “ZooMoo Kids”, and after the rebrand, it leftClaro TV alongside Love Nature on March 31.
On 1 April 2020, it was launched on Zuku TV in Kenya[4] and 6 months later on DStv[5] as a "pop-up channel" which has been extended from March to the end of June 2021.[6]
On 16 June 2020, Your Family Entertainment andBlue Ant Media made a "content swap" agreement which enabled an exchange of programming between the YFE catalog and the international ZooMoo channels to occur.[7] As a result, ZooMoo feeds worldwide began broadcasting series from the YFE catalog. The EMEA feed currently airsAlbert Says... Nature Knows Best,Gloria's House,Urmel andBob's Beach as a result of the swap. The United States/Latin America feed broadcastsAlbert Says... Nature Knows Best,Urmel andBob's Beach. The international kids' TV channels operated by YFE,Fix & Foxi and RiC, also begun to air some of ZooMoo's content, including their acquired animated seriesJelly Jamm, as a result.
In September 2021, following Blue Ant’s channels rebranding to ROCK, ZooMoo was acquired by Rock Entertainment Holdings.[8][9]
In 2022, ZooMoo was removed fromVirgin Media On Demand in theUnited Kingdom because it was shut down on 7 January 2020, alongside Tiddlers TV, because it was rebranded as Virgin TV Kids on 10 April 2017.
