MUMBAI: Viacom International Media Networks Asia, a division of US media conglomerate Viacom, has announced Nick Jr.’s launch in Thailand through GMM Grammy, the country’s largest entertainment and media conglomerate group.

Thai viewers can enjoy Nick Jr., a commercial-free, English educational channel for preschoolers, on GMM Grammy‘s new 1-Sky broadcasting platform that offers free satellite TV and pay TV services with more than 200 channels.
 
Nick Jr. is the first children’s channel to debut on 1-Sky’s broadcasting platform and will be available to 1-Sky’s Entertainment package and Combo package subscribers. The launch in Thailand marks the latest expansion of Nick Jr. across Asia, following launches in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mongolia last year.

Nick Jr.’s philosophy is to ‘play-to-learn’ through award-winning and exclusive international properties including Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go! which are designed to engage and encourage early childhood development. Aside from Dora The Explorer and Go, Diego, Go!, Nick Jr. will bring playful entertainment and connected learning with shows like ‘Little Bill‘, ‘Ni Hao‘, ‘Kai-Lan‘ and ‘Blue’s Clues‘.
