Karusel is a Russian children's television channel launched on 27 December 2010, formed from the merger of the earlier TeleNanya and Bibigon channels. Aimed at young viewers, it broadcasts cartoons, live action shows and educational programmes around the clock. Its short idents and bumpers became a familiar part of daily viewing for a generation of Russian speaking children. Clips of those stings now circulate online as nostalgic soundboard sounds, reused by editors who want an instant reference to childhood television and the channel's cheerful presentation style.
