Happy TV (Serbian: Hеpi ТV) is a Serbian television network. It started as a children's television channel, then later got national coverage, it broadcasts across Serbia time-sharing with TV Košava, with which it combined to form one station.
History
Happy TV was founded in 2002 as a children's channel. Initially, it covered only the area near Belgrade.[1]
A joint bid of Happy TV and TV Košava won the national broadcasting license in Serbia at a public tender organized by the Serbian Broadcasting Agency in April 2006.
Now, Happy TV operates out of its own building, which is 1.200 m² big, with a 300 m² TV studio and 50 m² recording studio. So far, Happy TV has produced over 3000 hours of cartoons and over 800 hours of documentaries, in the Serbian language.[2]
In September 2010 a true fusion of the TV Košava occurred: the network ceased to exist, giving rights to Happy to broadcast 24/7: becoming the next[clarification needed] network to begin 24-hour broadcast. The network is the only one in Serbia to contain a programming block:[clarification needed] called Happy Kids. It is aimed primarily at children, airing from 10am to 1:55pm, with Happy airing from 1:55pm to 10am later in the day.[3]
