CBBC

CBBC is the brand used by the British Broadcasting Corporation for its programming and related services targeted at children. It operates a dedicated 24-hour television channel in the United Kingdom and also provides content through the BBC iPlayer streaming service. CBBC's output includes a wide range of genres, such as drama, comedy, entertainment, factual, and animation. The service aims to entertain, educate, and inspire children aged six to seventeen.

The channel launched on February 11, 2002, alongside its sister channel CBeebies, which caters to a younger audience. Prior to the dedicated channel, CBBC programming was broadcast within specific time slots on BBC One and BBC Two. CBBC is funded by the UK license fee and is therefore free of advertising. Its programming schedule features both acquired international content and original productions made by the BBC and independent UK production companies. Notable past and present programmes include Horrible Histories, Tracy Beaker Returns, The Dumping Ground, and Blue Peter, one of the longest-running children's television shows in the world. CBBC also engages with its audience through online platforms, offering games, interactive content, and educational resources.
