Paramount Kids Radio is an American radio network owned by Paramount Global through its Paramount Media Networks division, being launched on March 10, 2018.
History[]
In 2017, a year before Paramount Kids even premiered, Viacom wanted to come up with their new family-friendly radio network similar to Nick Radio. Eventually, the radio was launched alongside the Paramount Kids block the next year. In July 2017, it was announced that Paramount Kids Radio would get its own app. The app was released on August 10, 2018 for iOS and Android with the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows 10 versions being released on December 14, 2018 and the Nintendo Switch version releasing on March 15, 2019. An Android TV, Apple TV and FireTV versions are set to come out both on July 5, 2019.
In 2019, after the failure of Nick Radio, Paramount Kids Radio became a 24/7 hour radio station. It would not sign off again. In December 2019, Viacom re-merged with CBS Corporation to form ViacomCBS, which combined CBS's cable channels like CBS, The CW, Showtime, and UltraToons with Viacom's cable channels like BET, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon together, allowing the station to incorporate content based on Terrytoons and UltraToons properties.
