Shows

Carousel programming consists of a wide range of shows ranging from original animated and live-action Russian productions to famous cartoons from around the world, all either dubbed or voiceover-translated into the Russian language. The schedule changes on an almost weekly basis to accommodate its vast library of shows both modern and vintage.

History

Carousel was created in 2010 after Bibigon (Бибигон) and TeleNanny (ТелеНяня) merged to form the new channel. The first program shown was "Team Jump-Jump" (Прыг-Скок Команда)
