With new lockdowns all over Europe, RiC's launch on ONEHUBTV is timely to help both kids and families in the current pandemic to provide some distraction, especially over during the festive period. RiC's programmes are promoting social values and are family friendly, entertaining and avoiding any violence. Parents can thus rely on RiK to provide the right kind of entertainment for their loved ones during these challenging times.
