Programming[]

Super! shows a variety of programs targeted towards children and teenagers.

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.^[2] However, the series was heavily edited, and dubbed into Italian, names were changed to English alternatives (for example, Hye-mi became Sam, Sam-dong Brian, and Jin-guk Dylan), episodes split in two parts, some scenes cut to reduce the duration of the episodes^[3] or to censor the content unsuitable for young audiences, mainly blood.^[4]

During October 2019, a new programming block premiered, Chicchirichì Time, which is aimed at preschoolers, airing series like Shimmer and Shine and Bubble Guppies, however the block doesn't air preschool series anymore.
