Munster and Irish rugby legend Donncha O'Callaghan has launched the new season of programming on RTÉjr.
O'Callaghan will feature on Ireland’s only dedicated children’s channel with his new series What’s Your Game? and yesterday (October 15) joined the stars of another new series Twigín to celebrate their upcoming shows.
Check back for our video interview with Donncha O'Callaghan later today.
The new season kicks off with a special two weeks of programming called Awesome Autumn which will encourage everyone to get out when they can, with lots to look at and listen to as the evenings get darker.
RTÉjr will also introduce an exciting new daily magazine show for pre-schoolers, Twigín, which starts in November.
Set in the magical Twigín tree house with Séamus the dog, Blaithín the flower fairy and their friends Muireann, Emma and Clara.
Viewers can join the Twigín gang for singing, acting, dancing and playing games as well as going on wild adventures.
Speaking about the new season on RTÉjr Channel Controller, Sheila de Courcy said: “We have put together an engaging and eclectic mix of programming for youngsters which we are very excited about.
"From sport and entertainment to science and animation, we have ensured that there’s something in there to interest everyone whether they live on a farm in the countryside or an apartment in the city.
“As well as continuing our daily celebration of songs and stories, our new season of programming invites youngsters to explore wildlife, discover the delights of water, understand the fascinating world of insects through photography and explore their imaginations on their TV screens, online and on radio in a commercial-free zone.”
