MUMBAI (Reuters) - Sun TV Network Ltd. said on Wednesday it will launch a children's channel on April 29 as it seeks to tap a fast-growing segment in the world's third-largest cable television market.

Chutti TV, for kids aged 2 to 14 years, will combine regional and international programming, Sun TV said in a statement. It did not disclose financial details.

Chennai-based Sun is a regional language broadcaster with a direct-to-home satellite operation in which Malaysia's Astro All-Asia Networks Plc recently took 20 percent.

Walt Disney Co. last year bought Hungama, a Hindi-language kids channel, from India's UTV Software Communications Ltd. for $30.5 million. Disney also broadcasts Disney Channel and Toon Disney/Jetix in India.
