True, it is very kid based, although it does target teenagers more than previously, because of Sally being more in charge of the show, thus that means a lot more pop music!

Tiswas' "successor" the Saturday Show was more for the younger kids, and the successor to that, the Saturday Starship, was a little more pop based (although for all intents and purposes, it was "Saturday Show in a spaceship").
