In the early days Telekids was co-hosted by Manon Thomas, Marc Postelmans and Caroline Tensen.
After the weekday broadcasts were canceled, van Santen presented the Telekids-derived programs Cartoon Express (1993–1999) and Teleteens.
In the early years it was therefore a program that was broadcast daily, in which cartoons and live-action series (such as Transformers, Batman, The Raccoons, Little Wizards, Happy Days, My Secret Identity and Maple Town) were interspersed with studio segments.
The mistake was quickly identified but due to bad contact with the control room in Luxembourg, the movie was interrupted nearly one hour after it started.
[1] Starting with the 1993–1994 television season, Telekids switched to the formula for which it became best known: cartoons alternated with the live studio segments of Boszhard and Moors every Saturday morning between 7 and 12 noon.
Parts included Giegel and Goochel, the Mega Blubber Power Race, We are better, Spot Light, Girl Secrets and Carlo's Crisis.
More and more parts were added: Giegel and Goochel, for example, had their own quiz, Quizline, and the Mega Blubber Power Race became the Movie Race and further segments were added such as De Vliegende Ouwe Taart, Mrs. Zuurtje and Mrs. Pruimpje and Pittige Tijden (Spicy Times).
Pittige Tijden ensured that the audience that watched Telekids became much wider, the part was mainly popular among students.
As the seasons progressed, the public largely knew that Boszhard was gay and eventually revealed that Moors was pregnant with her actual boyfriend.
The duo Carlo & Irene received a gold record in 1997 with a reissue of the Telekids CD from 1995 (with the hit single "Pittige Tijden").
