Super! is an Italian free-to-air television channel owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA. The channel was launched on September 1, 2010 as DeA Super on Sky Italia.[1] On March 18, 2012, it became free-to-air and had a major rebranding, changing both its graphics and its name to Super!.[2] The network's official speaker is voice actor Renato Novara since 2010.

Programming

Super! shows a variety of programs targeted towards children aged seven to thirteen.

Super! was the first Italian television channel airing a Korean drama, Dream High, from September 1 to October 16, 2013, the only K-drama broadcast in Italy.[3] However, the series was heavily edited, with Korean names being changed to English alternatives (for example, Hye-mi became Sam, Sam-dong became Brian, and Jin-guk became Dylan), episodes being split into two half-hour ones and some scenes cut to reduce the length of the episodes[4] or to censor the content unsuitable for young audiences, mainly blood.[5] An unedited version, featuring the same voice actors of the TV dub, was posted on the K-drama's official Italian YouTube channel from October 30, 2013 to January 10, 2014.[6]

During October 2019, a new programming block premiered, Chicchirichì Time, which is aimed at preschoolers, airing series like Shimmer and Shine and Bubble Guppies.[7] The block was later discontinued.
