History
In December 2006, the MBC announced its intention to extend its services. The national public broadcaster would offer 12 new channels (mainly Knowledge Channel, Sports 11 and Ciné 12) to its subscribers as from 2007.[3] The management initially planned to launch the new service on 12 March 2007, the national day of Mauritius, but was not able to do so. On 18 September 2007, the channel started broadcasting under the name of Knowledge Channel. During peak hours, it was broadcasting its children's programming. Recorded TV programs by TV5Monde and Voice of America were also aired. It had then ceased operations on 15 September 2014 to leave space for Kids Channel. During its prime time, TV shows produced by the Mauritius College of the Air (now the Open University of Mauritius) were aired. After the channel was closed on 31 January 2015, the MBC started broadcasting its animated series and other programs designed for children on MBC 1 during the morning and afternoon again, like it did before 2007.
