The Children’s Channel played a major role in the provision of factual programming on<br />
non-terrestrial channels, broadcasting 273 hours in 1997 - however, the majority of this<br />
was accounted for by only one programme, Art Attack.<br />
Although there has been an upward trend in the time devoted to factual programming,<br />
total output across the children’s channels in 2001 amounted to 398 hours. The Disney<br />
Channel is now the most significant, supplying three-quarters of the output.<br />
