All Classical Portland Launches HD2 And Online Station For Children

For Kids

ALL CLASSICAL PUBLIC MEDIA Classical KQAC (ALL CLASSICAL PORTLAND)/PORTLAND, OR has launched a station for children on its HD2 channel and online.  The INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S ARTS NETWORK (ICAN) is aimed at children from infancy through 12 years old, and is being locally produced and programmed.

“This ground-breaking, brand-new radio station exemplifies our mission to provide access to the arts for all; and to nurture a love of music and literature in young people,” said President/CEO and ICAN Executive Producer SUZANNE NANCE. “Creating a resource like ICAN for children in our community and beyond will support arts education and promote emotional literacy.  The art and music shared on ICAN will serve as a luminous window into various cultures.”

ICAN Program Manager SARAH ZWINKLIS added, “You will find the content to be unlike the traditional children’s media so many of us were raised on. ICAN provides an audio destination where kids can be inspired to listen, dance, color outside the lines, and create their own adventures. Much of the content on the network will be presented by children – we believe in the power of these young voices.  ICAN is for anyone that wants to be transported into a world where the possibilities are endless!"
