Kadet was a Flemish children’s television channel owned by Medialaan–De Persgroep (now DPG Media). The channel launched on 18 December 2015, replacing the youth-oriented channel JIM, which had ceased broadcasting two days earlier. Kadet was positioned primarily as a boys-focused channel, complementing Medialaan’s existing children’s brand vtmKZOOM.

In December 2018, Medialaan announced a full rebranding of its children’s portfolio. As a result, both Kadet and vtmKZOOM were discontinued and replaced by VTM Kids and VTM Kids Jr., marking the end of Kadet as a standalone channel.
