Kids Place Live is a Sirius XM Radio station on channel 134,[1] that is the result of a merger between XM Kids and Kids Stuff. This was a result of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approving the acquisition of XM Satellite Radio Holding, Inc. by Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc. on July 29, 2008, 17 months after the companies first proposed the merger. Until February 9, 2010, DirecTV carried this on channel 868, but dropped Sirius XM programming in favor of going to MusicTap. The channel name was changed on 2008-11-12.[2]

Artists that are on the playlist include Andrew & Polly, The Brak Show, Tom Chapin, Parry Gripp, The Okee Dokee Brothers, Danny Weinkauf, Randy Kaplan, They Might Be Giants, The Pop Ups, Frances England, Recess Monkey, Emma Roberts, Justin Roberts, Rocknoceros, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, SpongeBob SquarePants, SteveSongs, The Story Pirates, Trout Fishing in America, The Wiggles and "Weird Al" Yankovic.[3]

layoffs

[edit]

The channel's staff was reduced throughout 2023 and 2024 and now consists of mostly[vague] automated music.

Characters

[edit]

There are several animal characters that previously appeared during "The Animal Farm with Kenny Curtis" that interacted with callers on the show and Kenny Curtis. The featured animals included: Dirk, the fourth and forgotten Chipmunk; Forrest Skunk, a kid version of Forrest Gump; Greg the tree sloth; Lufa the Porcupine; Bear E. White, a polar bear; and Lorenzo Llama, who has a strong fear of being touched. These characters were abruptly removed from programming along with Kenny Curtis' show in February, 2024.
