Kadet was the second children's channel of Medialaan-De Persgroep (now DPG Media), which was launched on December 18, 2015, to replace the channel JIM.
In December 2018, Medialaan rebranded its two children's channels, vtmKZOOM and Kadet, as VTM Kids and VTM Kids Jr.
After fourteen years the youth channel JIM stopped on December 16 midnight, because adolescents are more into adult channels and online entertainment.[1] On December 18 at 16:00 Medialaan launched Kadet. Medialaan has developed a content deal with Disney. Daan Van Leeuwen became the head of the children's channels within Medialaan and will continue to develop both Kadet and vtmKzoom in the future. Van Leeuwen used to be programs director of Fox Kids and Jetix Netherlands.[2]
In December 2018, Medialaan rebranded its two children's channels, vtmKZOOM and Kadet. The vtmKZOOM and Kadet brands were retired and replaced by VTM Kids and VTM Kids Jr.[3] [4]
