History

It was launched on 29 April 2007, making it Sun TV Network's first ever television channel for kids. Initial shows primarily consisted of dubbed versions of popular shows such as Dora the Explorer, Thomas & Friends, and Ben 10 before the channel expanded into creating original animated series and live action shows.^[1][2]

Chutti TV made a partnership with American TV network Nickelodeon until the Tamil audio was added to the Indian channel.^[3][4][5]

In 2015, the animated series Bommi and Friends was telecast on the channel.^[6] That same year, Chutti TV launched a game show called Run Singoo Run on its platform. Run Singoo Run is an interactive game show where participants can control the game using motion capture technology. The Tamil version of the game show was launched on May 30, 2015.^[7]

In 2016, the programs Chutti News and Jilinu Oru Summer were hosted by Sinduja.^[8]

In 2019, Bommiyum Tirukkuralum hosted by G. Gnanasambandan was telecast.^[9]

In 2018, Chutti TV's parent company, Sun TV Network purchased three animated series from the French animation studio Cyber Group Studios for its Tamil kids channel. The three animated series acquired were Tales of Tatonka, G-Fighters, and Animalia.^[4]

In 2022, there were false reports that both Chutti TV and the Tamil version of Cartoon Network would stop airing.^[10]

In 2023, Jackie Chan Adventures (Tamil: ஜாக்கி சான் சாகசங்கள்) and Dora the Explorer (Tamil: டோராவின் பயணங்கள்) were reaired on the channel.^[11][12]
