Çufo is an Albanian TV channel for children from 1–14 years old. The rating system is divided into 3 groups: babies from 1–5 years old, kids from 6–9 years old, and preteens and teenagers from 11–14 years old.[3] It was launched on December 18, 2006[4] by the TV platform DigitAlb.
All of the channel's content is dubbed into Albanian, although the vast majourity programs leave songs in their original language accompanied with Albanian subtitles. The audio track can be switchable to the original language of dubbing as well; a similar system to SAP. A few shows on the channel are Albanian originals.
The channel airs promos featuring its mascot, four letters modeled after a pig that spell the word Çufo. The title and the music of the channel are based on a famous 1982 Albanian cartoon, Ndodhitë e Çufos (Çufo's events). No commercials or promos are shown between shows, but rather after them.
See main article: List of programs broadcast by Çufo. Çufo broadcasts a combination of animated and live-action programming, all dubbed in Albanian by various production companies such as "Jess" Discographic, AA Film Company, NGS Recording, Top Channel, Albatrade Studio and Albania Production.[5]
