Piwi+ (formerly Piwi) is a French pay television channel for children aged 3 to 6, owned by the Canal+.[1][2]

History

Piwi was launched on December 3, 2003, as the preschool channel from Télévision Par Satellite.[3] In 2007, TPS merged with its competitor Canalsat.

In 2016–2017, Piwi+ became a Canal+ exclusive all around the world, being removed of all French ISPs on 31 December 2016.[4] It is also distributed on VOO in Belgium and Teleclub Les + in Switzerland.

Mascots

Initially, Piwi had 7 planet mascots, with Soleil (sun) being the main one and part of the logo. At night when the channel stopped its programs, a loop showed the planet mascots saying good night, good bye, see you tomorrow, etc.

With the 2011 rebrand, Piwi+ have only a sun as a mascot, and a moon sleeping with a melody during the night break. Since the end of 2019 when TiJi became 24h, Piwi+ is the last French kids TV channel to have a night break.
