History

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.

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.
