RTàKids (formerly TRTÃÂ) is an Irish children's television block broadcast by RTÃÂ2, produced by RTÃÂ's Young People's Programming division. First replacing The Den in 2010, the block broadcasts programmes targeting viewers 7âÂÂ12 years of age; it was accompanied by RTÃÂjr, which targeted younger audiences.
In late 2016, significant cutbacks drove RTÃÂ Young People's Programming to downsize its operations, including ending in-house production of children's programmes (relying exclusively on commissions from outside producers), and programmes targeting teenagers.
In 2017, RTÃÂ moved 13-15 year-olds content online. Two Tube (the teenage block) was dropped and TRTÃÂ targeted 7-12 year-olds.
The block was rebranded on December 6, 2024 as RTÃÂ Kids, retiring the TRTÃÂ brand name that was slowly being phased out from RTÃÂ2 over the previous five years. Youth programming would be promoted with RTÃÂ2's branding, and only TRTÃÂ idents were in use at the beginning of programmes.
