Boyz Channel and Girlz Channel (formatted as girlzChannel and boyzChannel) are two American pay cable television channels owned by NBC. Both networks launched on April 7, 2003, each aired programming that gearing towards a specific gender.

History[edit]

On April 4, 2002, NBC announced the launch of two pay digital networks called "The Boyz Channel" and "The Girlz Channel". Promoted as being the first ever networks to focus strictly on boys or girls, they would be aimed towards a 2–14 child audience, while programming after 9:00 pm and in non-prime weekend time periods would focus on parents. The programming would be sourced from the existing libraries of Fox Kids and FFW, along with some outside acquisitions, with original programming likely planned over time. Both channels were scheduled to launch in 2003.

Both networks launched on April 7, 2003.

Programming[edit]

The programming for both networks mainly came from multiple libraries then controlled by Fox Family Worldwide, including NBC, often including shows which had yet to be seen in the United States.
