AFN Family

AFN Family, (with AFN being an acronym for American Forces Network,) is an American-based international family-oriented television channel that is owned and operated by the US Military, (specifically The Department of Defense's Defense Media Activity Program.). Launched in 2004, this is another channel that PAW Patrol airs on, (before then children's programs were aired on the main AFN station in morning and weekend afternoon time slots under the "AFN Kids" branding.) It is intended for United States Military personal overseas and their families and therefore is not broadcasted in North America. The station is primarily targeted at younger and older child audiences aged 2 to 13, however, the overnight AFN Pulse block is targeted at teen and adult audiences aged 14 and up. Due to its government ownership, AFN can not profit off of commercials; public service announcements, lengthy bumpers, music videos, and other filler segments are put in their place. Premieres of PAW Patrol episodes are often delayed from their premieres on Nickelodeon as the channel usually airs shows that are no longer aired on mainstream networks.
