The channel is owned by First Media.[1] The content is intended to develop an infant's skills, such as color recognition, counting and vocabulary. There are about 90 BabyFirst TV shows and 41 apps for mobile devices. As of 2014, the network is distributed to 81 million homes, and is based in Los Angeles, California. BabyFirst was founded in 2003 by Guy Oranim and Sharon Rechter. Its first broadcast was through DirecTV in 2006. It was founded by Regency Enterprises, Kardan, and Bellco Capital. Distribution expanded through agreements with the Echostar Dish Network, Comcast, AT&T U-verse and others. It also developed a premium BabyFirst YouTube channel, and mobile apps. One app developed with AT&T U-verse allows babies to interact with the television programming by drawing on a mobile device. Regency Enterprises owns 30% of BabyFirst.[2]HistoryOriginsBabyFirst was founded in 2004[3] by Guy Oranim and Sharon Rechter.[4] The network was launched on May 11, 2006 on DirecTV and made available through EchoStar's Dish Network that June.[5][3] The network is based in Los Angeles and was initially funded by Regency Enterprises (a Hollywood movie studio), Kardan (a holding company) and Bellco Capital (a private fund).[4] BabyFirst was controversial as the first 24-hour channel for children six months to three years in age, [4][5] but it was popular among parents[6][7][8] and grew quickly.[5] Distribution expansionIn 2011, BabyFirst obtained agreements to distribute the channel in the United Kingdom through the BSkyB satellite network as well as in Mexico through Sky Mexico and Cablevision.[9] A French version was introduced with CanalSat in 2011.[10] By the end of 2011, it had arranged broadcasting agreements throughout Europe,[11] the Middle East[9][11], and Canada[12] . By 2008, it was broadcasting in ten territories in the Asia Pacific, such as China and Korea.[13] In October 2008, SingTel started distributing the channel to the Singapore audience.[14] It was also being broadcast in Africa and Latin America.[15] In May 2008, it signed a distribution agreement with Time Warner Cable.[15][16] In 2009, HBO Asia became the exclusive distributor for the channel in Asia.[17] A bilingual Latin/English channel, BabyFirst Americas, was launched with Comcast in 2012.[18][19] A premium BabyFirst YouTube channel was introduced in June 2013.[20] In the early 2000s, the Federal Trade Commission responded to a complaint by the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood alleging that BabyFirst's advertising that it helped babies develop skills was misleading. The FTC did not impose any sanctions.[15][21] As of 2014, it has 81 million viewers[22] and is broadcast in over 100 territories, in thirteen languages.[32] Recent historyIn 2013, former ABC Network President Steven McPherson[20] and Rich Frank, the former chairman of Disney Channel[23] became investors and board members as the company worked to develop new content and improve advertising revenues.[23] In May 2014, BabyFirst and AT&T U-verse released a co-developed second-screen app for mobile devices for children to interact with the television programming through tablets or smartphones.[24] ProgrammingBabyFirst's television channel provides 24-hour programming for babies.[25] About 90 percent of the 90 shows BabyFirst produces are original content created at its studios.[4][32] Acquired programs include Shape A Majigs, Mio Mao, , Ready Dress Go, Squeak!, Tec the Tractor, Suzy's Zoo, Color Crew, Rainbow Horse, and . The format of the network limits each of the network's presentations to three to five minutes of length that are either live-action or animated.[5][32] Original programming

There are also 41 BabyFirst apps for mobile devices.[27] An app available to AT&T U-verse viewers allows children to draw on a mobile device and have the drawing appear on the television screen.[24] Some experts argue that exposing children to television at such an early age is taking technology too far or that parents are using BabyFirst as a digital babysitter. Parents in-turn refute that argument, claiming that experts have lost touch with the realities of raising a child.[28] BabyFirst suggests the programming is intended to be watched by parents and their children together in an interactive way.[29] The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends against exposing children under the age of two to television, while a 2003 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that most children under two years of age are already watching TV.[4] According to The Washington Post, very little is known about whether young children watching television has a negative or positive effect on them.[6] References1. ^{{cite news |title=BABYFIRST Now on Verizon Fios |url=https://www.multichannel.com/pr-feed/babyfirst-now-verizon-fios-412437 |accessdate=September 15, 2018 |work=Multichannel |agency=Media Financial Management Association |date=April 25, 2017 |language=en-us}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/round-the-clock-channel-for-infants-debuts-on-directv|title=Round-the-Clock Channel for Infants Debuts on DirecTV|date=2015-03-25|website=Associated Press|language=en-US|access-date=2019-03-21}} 3. ^{{cite news |newspaper=The New York Post|date=May 12, 2006 |title='Screen Test' Toddler - Kid & Folks Rate Baby TV |pp=8 |last=Robinson |url=https://nypost.com/2006/05/12/screen-test-toddler-kid-folks-rate-baby-tv/}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|title=EchoStar to offer BabyFirst channel|newspaper=Rocky Mountain News|date=June 14, 2006|first=Joyzelle|last=Davis|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-146996029.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140921200728/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-146996029.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=September 21, 2014|accessdate=May 22, 2014}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|last=Itzkoff|first=Dave|title=TV Moves A Step Closer To the Womb|work=The New York Times|page=1|date=May 21, 2006|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/21/arts/21itzk.html}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|title=Diaper Demographic; TV, Video Programming for the Under-2 Market Grows Despite Lack of Clear Educational Benefit|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=February 24, 2007|first=Annys|last=Shin}} 7. ^Karen B.
