Commented Paul Robinson, managing director at KidsCo: “With a population of over 20 million, and cable television becoming more widely available, Sri Lanka was a natural choice for KidsCo to grow within. We are careful with our selection of providers and believe that Lanka Broadband Network shares our goal of delivering educational and fun programming for kids across the region.”

Praveen Manathunga, marketing co-ordinator at Lanka Broadband Network, added: “It is Lanka Broadband Network’s goal to expand its presence in Sri Lanka and to offer a high-quality range of positive content for young viewers.
