KiKA (full name: "Der KinderKanal von ARD und ZDF" = "The Children's Channel of ARD & ZDF") is a public non-commercial free television channel based in Erfurt, Germany. It is a joint venture of national public television channels ARD, and ARD's constituent broadcasting institutions – BR, HR, MDR, NDR, Radio Bremen, RBB, Saarländischer Rundfunk, SWR, WDR and ZDF, and is targeted at children and youth. KiKA is broadcast on analog cable and satellite as well as digital services, DVB-T, cable and via Astra. KiKA operates daily from 6:00 a.m. CET until 9:00 p.m. CET, and airs a mixture of live action and animated features. Until 2003, its analog cable and satellite service ended at 7:00 p.m. CET; after that time the frequency was used by Arte. KiKA now has exclusive use of its frequency — Arte was assigned its own in 2003.
The station uses live continuity announcers, two of the most popular being Juri Tetzlaff (1997–2010), Karsten Blumenthal (1997–2004), Singa Gätgens (1997–2010), Lukas Koch (2003-3/2009). The station also repeats shows such as Tabaluga TiVi from ZDF's main service.

Plot: Five stories by six new filmmakers. Each segment of the films is dedicated to a different kind of human emotion, the first is a dark humored thriller about our inability for facing our deepest fears, the second is a bittersweet comedy about the importance of being seen through the eyes of others, the third is a silent meditation about the hardships we endure in order of not being alone in the world, the fourth is a post apocalyptic story about the price of being selfish with your only companion and the last one is a surrealistic and religious satire about the dangers of being famous in our modern society of reality TV.
