Orbit Tots (614): preschool
Status: implemented and verified on the box (0.79 onwards, latest refinements 0.85.0). Documented 3 November 2026 as it is; no changes proposed.
Identity: a gentle CBeebies- and Milkshake-inspired channel for the youngest viewers, with its own hand-drawn logo (the O is a smiling ringed planet). Calm, warm and safe.
Programming (Tots.kt, every title hand-approved and spelled as the library spells it):
- Morning, 06:00 to 09:00: Teletubbies, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Balamory (2026), Bluey (2018), Numberblocks, Andy's Wild, Dinosaur and Baby Animals Adventures, Something Special.
- Playtime, 09:00 to 17:00: the morning shows plus Peppa Pig, Ben and Holly, Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, Digby Dragon, Floogals, Bob the Builder, Peter Rabbit, Shimmer and Shine, Blaze, Nella, Roary, Paddington, Rusty Rivets, Noddy, Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!, Bananas in Pyjamas, Angelina Ballerina, Olivia, Mr Men, Hey Duggee, Octonauts, Go Jetters.
- Wind Down, 17:00 to 21:00, and night, 21:00 to 06:00: CBeebies Bedtime Stories, In the Night Garden, Clangers, BeddyByes.
- Order: every show plays random episodes, all of a show's episodes before any repeat. No show plays three times in a row while another in its block is waiting.
Presentation:
- Its own idents by mood: Morning and Playtime use the morning films, which alternate with the "roll-in" film where the planet rolls up and jumps into the ring; Wind Down and Night use the evening film. A short instrumental jingle plays at most every 30 minutes, in the morning and at Wind Down only.
- Tots shows its idents even when idents are switched off elsewhere.
- Wind Down Now: a button that brings the calm bedtime shows forward until the next morning, laid over the plan without changing it.
Not built: profile-based visibility (profiles don't exist yet).
Crossover: Tots is the preferred home of the modern preschool shows. Orbit Junior also lists some classic versions (Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder, Teletubbies, Peppa Pig); see junior.md once agreed.
