Bolajon is an Uzbek children's television channel owned by the National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan. The channel started broadcasting in 2013.
History
President Islam Karimov signed a resulotion on 30 May 2013 to create a dedicated children's channel. Bolajon started broadcasting on 1 June 2013, under the legal jurisdiction of the Yoshlar TV channel.[1] A meeting with the British Council led to the opening of an English learning program to air on the channel.[2] As of December 2014, Bolajon was broadcasting fifteen hours a day.[3]
The pandemic in 2020 caused the Ministry of Education to use Bolajon to air a distance learning slot for preschoolers.[4]
Parents in 2024 have shown their concern over the airing of commercials for age-inappropriate products on Bolajon. This was seen as a violation of an existing law forbidding advertising of goods prohibited to children.[5]
