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 1 September to 16 October 2013, the only K-drama broadcast in Italy. However, the series was heavily edited, with Korean names being changed to English alternatives, episodes being split into two half-hour ones and some scenes cut to reduce the length of the episodes or to censor the content unsuitable for young audiences, mainly blood. An unedited version, featuring the same voice actors of the TV dub, was posted on the K-drama's official Italian YouTube channel from 30 October 2013 to 10 January 2014.
During October 2019, a new programming block premiered, Chicchirichì Time, which was aimed at preschoolers, airing series like Shimmer and Shine and Bubble Guppies. The block was later discontinued.
