* Milkshake! is one of the commercial brand leaders for pre-school children's programming in the UK, broadcasting a morning block throughout the week that features many of the world's favorite pre-school characters, including "Peppa Pig", "Bert and Ernie", "Noddy" and others.

Analysis: Viacom's C5 strategy under the microscope
Viacom believes the Channel 5 brand has huge potential and that it can grow its share by investing in original content.
The C5 brand will be retained by Viacom, which believes it can supercharge the broadcaster’s existing momentum.
VIMN chief executive Bob Bakish and VIMN UK managing director David Lynn sent C5 staff a reassuring “business as usual” earlier today, and it is not expected to usher in any sudden strategy or personnel changes.
It is thought that Viacom has plenty of admiration for the job done by C5’s management team and is inclined to retain the likes of Ben Frow, currently C5 director of programmes. It will also look to secure key C5 programming brands, most notably Big Brother.
There is a general expectation that Viacom will spend more on originations than Northern & Shell has in recent years.
While there are no guarantees, the toe-in-the-water commissioning strategies for channels such as Comedy Central make more economic sense if they are supplemented by a major free-to-air network.
Viacom plans to leverage that increased investment by playing content it orders for Channel 5 on its other stations around the world, including in the US.
While the £450m deal may not be financially transformative for a company of Viacom’s vast scale, strategically it is hugely significant.
Viacom has free-to air-assets in some major territories, including Nickelodeon in Germany and Paramount Channel in Spain, but it is primarily a pay operator and does not own a mainstream general entertainment channel akin to Channel 5.
It has been widely expected that Sky Media will take over the C5 sales account, and while this remains a possibility, it is not a foregone conclusion.
It is thought that Viacom has been impressed by C5’s in-house sales division and changes are unlikely in the short term. Viacom could choose to hand sales for its 20 UK pay channels to the C5 division, to sell across pay and free-to-air.
It is not yet clear whether Viacom will look to relocate C5 to its Camden headquarters.
