Abarunu

Abarunu is a channel similar to infant-centered channels from the real world. It teaches life skills and plays soothing programming at night. Programs include “The Show”, and “PicTales”. It got its start in April 2008 through a service known as Satebon/Parabon - a free service where all you needed was a dish that plugged into the merubox. Later on, it was added to Meru-Uzune in 2011.

Tara Akapane is an ambassador for Abarunu - she also does narration for their commercials. Her second child, Bebo Akapane, was one of the testers prior to the channel's launch
