Kids Place Live is a channel on Sirius XM Radio that is the result of a merger between XM Kids and Kids Stuff.Sirius. 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.[1]
Artists that are on the playlist include The Wiggles, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, Lisa Loeb, Pokémon, Jack Johnson, Vanessa Hudgens, Rocknoceros, Dora The Explorer, Tom Chapin, The Crazy Frog Chorus, Emma Roberts, Trout Fishing in America, SpongeBob SquarePants, Dan Zanes, They Might Be Giants The Brak Show, The Real Tuesday Weld, Stevesongs, Thomas and Friends, The Powerpuff Girls, Demashita Powerpuff Girls Z, Super Mario Brothers, Recess Monkey, Sonic Underground, and Randy Kaplan.
The channel is staffed 24/7 and also has daily live shows.
There are several animal characters on the show, with whom callers can talk. Kenny, the host of the show, does all the voices. These characters appear on "The Animal Farm with Kenny Curtis", which is on from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The main animals are: Dirk, the fourth and forgotten chipmunk; Forrest Skunk, a kid version of Forrest Gump; Greg the tree sloth; Lorenzo Llama, one of the main characters. The animals are involved in little skits meant to humor the children and parents listening.
Another host is Mindy. Mindy hosts "Birthday Missions," "The Absolutely Mindy Show," and "Two Realzies and a Whopper."
The reactions to the new station are mixed. Some of the people had been listening to Kids Stuff and were upset with the change. Others enjoyed the new show. Many people complain about the lack of music.
