GETTY) Virgin Media has launched a brand new freebie for all its TV customers throughout October – and it’s perfect for families with children. As the nights begin to draw in and get darker, all Virgin TV customers will be given access to additional kids TV channels including Sky Kids, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Cartoonito, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, and Nicktoons. The addition would normally cost an extra £5 a month but Virgin is offering the extra add-on to all customers – completely free. Virgin has said it is its way of saying thank you to customers and helping to keep families entertained throughout October, including half term, with a host of popular shows available to watch at home or on the go. This includes Pip and Posy Let’s Learn (Sky Kids), Monster High 2 (Nickelodeon), PAW Patrol – Jungle Pups (Nick Jr) and Teen Titans Go! (Cartoon Network) so there should be something for everyone to enjoy.
