Programming is segmented by age group (2-4, 5-7 and 8-10+) and organized according to criteria like topics of interest, traditional learning, personal characteristics, role models, inclusion teamwork and empathy. The SVOD service has no commercial interruptions.

The content offering combines short-form content from studio and digital-first creators. The uniquely programmed offering features custom playlists and popular titles like Science Max and Operation Ouch stemming from a new alliance with Macademia’s Da Vinci.

The flagship Sensical AVOD service, which launched in 2021, expanded into FAST market this year with the launch of of the Sensical Jr., Sensical Makers and Sensical Gaming channels.
