SVT Barn (SVT Children), known as Barnkanalen (Children’s Channel) from its launch in 2002 until 2019, is the children’s channel of SVT, the Swedish public television broadcaster. Since 18 January 2010, it has shared its slot with news channel SVT24; SVT Barn broadcasts for most of the day, with SVT24 taking over in the evening.
SVT Barn’s Norwegian counterpart, NRK Super, has a similar timesharing arrangement where it airs until the evening when the youth channel NRK3 comes on air, NRK having no dedicated news channel.

The launch graphics used by Barnkanalen were considered too much targeted on younger children. When SVT launched Bobster for pre-teens in early 2006, Barnkanalen got a new identity suitable for both younger and older children.[2] The new identity was produced by Kaktus Film and featured a playful yellow B.
