ABC Kids is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's part-time channel, broadcasting shows between the hours of 4am and 7:30pm for children 6 years old and younger, including an upper preschool audience.

In August 2001, the ABC For Kids timeslot was rebranded as ABC Kids and content was expanded to include shows for older children as well as younger children.

The service was officially inaugurated by former ABC Managing Director, Jonathan Shier, at the Australian Parliament House in Canberra on 7 August 2001.

Fly TV was launched on 1 November 2001 to feature programming aimed at teenagers and young adults up to early 20s[4] and broadcast a 6-hour block from 6:00pm to 12:00am, which was repeated from 12:00am to 6:00am.

After the close of the ABC Kids and Fly TV channels, programming for younger Fly TV viewers was integrated into the ABC Kids broadcasting block.

In February 2009, two daily blocks of children's programming were launched as ABC1 For Kids, running from 8:00am to 10:00am and 3:00pm to 4:00pm on ABC1.
