Fetch has announced the addition of two new channels, BBC Kids and Nick Music to its Kids Pack.

The new channels will be added to the $6 Kids Pack, as replacements for Cartoon Network and Boomerang, which will become exclusive to Foxtel from April 23rd.

As previously revealed by TV Blackbox, Fetch has been left furious after Foxtel used its programming deal with Warner Bros to secure exclusive Australian rights to Cartoon Network, Boomerang and news channel CNN. Fetch is now taking its complaint to the ACCC.
