Stwnsh was launched on Monday 26 April 2010, replacing the former Welsh-language children's strand, Planed Plant (Welsh for 'Children's Planet'). Stwnsh is broadcast on S4C every weekday, from 5:00pm to 6:00pm, and on Saturdays as Stwnsh Sadwrn (Welsh for 'Saturday 'Stwnsh'') from 8:00am to 10:00am.
