Warner Bros. Discovery Bets Big on Kids TV in India This December

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has unveiled a year-end programming lineup across its kids’ television channels in India, as a part of its previous commitment to deliver more than 3,000 hours of new content by the end of 2025. Under the new releases, Cartoon Network, Pogo, and Discovery Kids are getting new releases starting from Dec 15, 2025.

Key additions include the India debut of Om Nom Stories on Cartoon Network, Omi No. 1 and specials across Pogo, and a year-end countdown, Titoo: Shararat ka Grand Countdown on Discovery Kids. The announcement highlights fresh titles and limited-period events aimed at maximizing holiday viewership, leveraging high afternoon traffic and early-evening slots. 

Earlier, in Oct 2025, WBD announced its plan to improve content across Discovery+ and its linear channels, such as Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and TLC, with an emphasis on a blend of local originals and international titles in India by the end of the year. WBD’s Head of Factual & Lifestyle Cluster in South Asia emphasized, “The newly announced India originals and our strategic programming across both linear and streaming platforms are a testament to our commitment to creating cross-platform experiences.”

New Shows and Festive Programming

On Cartoon Network, Om Nom Stories premieres on Dec 15, 2025.  The show brings Om Nom, a curious green monster, into short-form episodic storytelling focused on humor-driven plots aimed at younger viewers. The program will air at 10:30 am on weekdays and at 8:30 am on weekends.

Pogo releases another new comedy series, Omi No. 1, similarly on Dec 15, 2025. The show follows Omi’s daily life adventures. The show is also described as a blend of humor and quirky energy. The series will be airing Monday to Friday at 11:30 am and 7 pm, and offers regional dubs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The dual timings and regional dubs are aimed at attracting more viewers during the festive season.

Additionally, Pogo’s lineup centers on special telefeatures and crossover programming. The network is scheduling movie-length telefeatures built around its marquee franchises, including Chhota Bheem. The scheduling notes Jay Jagannath: Maarechka ka Mayajaal will air on Dec 27 at 11:30 am, and Chhota Bheem & Ghatotkach on Dec 28 at 11:30 am.
