There is a news program on "Kinderkanal" (= Kika) which is called
"Logo". This program explains the news in simple German with good visual aids. Normally
it is directed to children and teenagers. I have checked Kinderkanal's website, but the
newsprogram "Logo" is not represented in their Mediathek.

Is this the Logo news that you are referring to?

Click on "zu Videos"

Yes, exactly! I didn't discover the right website of Kinderkanal. On this website quoted by tommus you can watch a lot of videos with "Logo" news.

You could also use a program like
Audacity to slow the news down even
more.

Just go to "Effects" -> "Change tempo" (without changing pitch)

Third frame on the top row, at the bottom of the frame.

It looks like plain text "zu Videos & Bilder". It is a link.

Thanks. I had to zoom it 4x to see it. Flash sites always look bad on my screen.
So far, I clicked on the dog one but it never loads. How long does it take? So, it's just short clips of simple news topics?
