===Mini TFO=== Mini TFO provides YouTube channels for young children, receiving 25 million views between its launch and October 2014 - the second most views of any children's channel in the world. TFO has also focused on mobile broadcasting, developing several apps for children's use. Other apps are developed to provide parents with a rating and research mechanism when deciding between programming and apps developed for child viewers or educational use - such as EduLulu.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.thestar.com/business/2014/04/22/tfo_embraces_mobile_programming.html |date=April 22, 2014 |access-date=May 7, 2014 |newspaper=Toronto Star |title=TFO embraces mobile programming |author=Ashante Infantry}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://fr.canoe.ca/techno/chroniques/audeboivinfilion/archives/2014/04/20140422-162739.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20140507160524/http://fr.canoe.ca/techno/chroniques/audeboivinfilion/archives/2014/04/20140422-162739.html |url-status=usurped |archive-date=May 7, 2014 |title=Edululu: trouvez les meilleures applis éducatives |publisher=Canoe |access-date=May 7, 2014 |language=fr |date=April 22, 2014 |author=Aude Boivin-Filion}}</ref> In 2013 Mini TFO also opened the Mini TFO Centre for Early Childhood Education at [[Collège Boréal]].<ref>{{cite web |date=April 30, 2013 |access-date=May 7, 2014 |url=http://www.csf.gouv.on.ca/en/articles/3218 |title=First Mini TFO Centre for Early Childhood Opens at Collège Boreal}}</ref> The channel also sponsors live tours of its affiliated acts, specifically in remote areas of Ontario.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.kapuskasingtimes.com/2013/06/12/mini-tfo-en-tournee-a-kap |date=June 12, 2013 |title=Mini TFO online touring looking |author=Gen Thomas |access-date=June 13, 2014 |newspaper=The Northern Times}}</ref> Children's programming on TFO is integrated into its web programming, which includes mobile applications designed for child development.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.qfq.com/article&ID=69394 |title=New mobile application for the program "YUM!" |date=December 4, 2013 |publisher=QFQ |access-date=June 13, 2014}}</ref> TFO also produces reality television shows featuring kids, including the ''Amazing Race'' style series ''Les Jumelles'' where local kids compete against each other in teams of two.<ref>{{cite web |author=Nikki Cole |url=http://www.simcoe.com/news-story/3914445-local-youths-compete-in-amazing-race-style-show/ |access-date=June 13, 2014 |publisher=Simcoe |date=July 29, 2013 |title=Local youths compete in 'Amazing Race'-style show}}</ref>
