* TalkLikeAPirate: TheNarrator for ''Ahoy Pirates'' speaks this way, even adding an "Aaaar, matey!" to the end of the theme song. Averted with the pirates themselves, who are an all female crew.

to:

* StrictlyFormula: Given that the channel's target audience isn't exactly going to follow any complicated story, many of the shorts have much the same in terms of plot. For example, a typical ''Ahoy Pirates!'' plot goes as follows: Captain Katie announces that there's treasure on an island, the crew need to find a piece of equipment before leaving, set sail, have an encounter at sea, arrive at the island, solve the puzzles, find the treasure, and have a party with the toys found inside.

If you think this channel seems similar to another TV network called Creator/{{BabyFirst TV}}, you aren't alone. Though [=BabyTV=] launched in 2003, some of its current programming is very similar to programming offered by [=BabyFirst TV=], which started three years later. Despite these similarites, the differences between the two networks are clearly visible in both programming and overall branding.
