Cbeebies Information

CBeebies is the brand used by the BBC for programming aimed at children 6 years and under.[1] It is used as a themed strand in the UK on terrestrial television, as a separate free-to-air domestic British channel and used for international varients supported by advertising, subscription or both. The brand was first launched on 11 February 2002.[2]

The channel has been nominated for, and won, many awards. At the BAFTA Children's Awards it has won awards in every year from 2002 to 2009 (apart from 2003), including Best Pre-school Live Action Series awards in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008. It has also won Best Schools Programme – 0–5 years awards (or equivalent) from the Royal Television Society from 2004 to 2007. It was also included in the United States on Dish Network to the present, but in a Mexican Spanish version, it is CBeebies en español.

History

The CBeebies brand was launched on 11 February 2002, when the domestic CBeebies Channel was launched and the strand began to appear on the BBC's terrestrial channels BBC One and BBC Two, alongside its sister service CBBC. The domestic CBeebies channel broadcasts from 06:00 to 19:00 each day - a result of the channel sharing bandwidth with the channel BBC Four on the Freeview platform. The station was joined later on by an audio counterpart, CBeebies Radio, which broadcast for three hours each day on the radio station BBC Radio 7, however since the station was rebranded as BBC Radio 4 Extra this obligation has ceased.

The international CBeebies channel is advert-free and wholly owned by BBC Worldwide. The first international launch for the CBeebies channel was in India in May 2007. The channel is available in the Republic of Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Poland, Indonesia, Mexico, Africa, Australia and the United States.

In March 2011, the on demand version of the network was launched in the US and is available on Xfinity.

Management

In the UK, CBeebies is operated by the BBC Children's division and part of BBC North. The division is also responsible for CBBC and overall strategic responsibility for all of the BBC's domestic services for children rests with the Director of Children's, Joe Godwin (since late 2009). The direction of the domestic CBeebies channel itself rests with Kay Benbow, the current Controller of the channel and responsible for commissioning all CBeebies content across BBC television, online, interactive TV, and radio.[3] She took over from the previous controller Michael Carrington in 2010.[4]

Internationally, CBeebies is owned by BBC Worldwide, who exploit and operate the brand.

Programming

Main article: List of BBC children's television programmes

CBeebies offers a mix of entertainment and educational programming. The channel's schedule is deliberately the same every weekday, with a different schedule at weekends, so that children can know what is on instinctively. The schedule also includes signed programmes, shown in the UK between 14:00 and 17:00 on weekends. The international channels also show many programmes broadcast on the UK channel, however some include programmes unique to that service.

Presentation

The links between programmes on CBeebies are primarily achieved through the use of in-vision continuity, using presenters to interact with the children. In the UK, links are pre-recorded rather than broadcast live, as is the case on sister channel CBBC. They were originally pre recorded from studio TC0 at BBC Television Centre in London, however moved out in 2008 to Teddington Studios, and returned briefly in 2010. From September 2011, the links have been based at the BBC's Northern base at MediaCityUK in Salford, Manchester, following the move of the BBC Childrens department there. International variants feature broadcast links produced either in the corresponding country, or from a central base.

Logos and idents

Main article: BBC Children's idents See also: History of BBC television idents#CBeebies

Presenters

Many of the presenters used have histories as characters on other services or on children's programmes.

In the UK, presenters seen on the channel and the stranded service include Sidney Sloane, in place since 2002,[5] Andy Day, since 2007,[5] Cerrie Burnell and Alex Winters, since 2009,[5] and Katy Ashworth, since 2011.[5]

The international variants feature different personalities per broadcast region. In Australia, Tara Colegrave is the main presenter since 2008[6][7], while in Hong Kong and Singapore Pui Fan Lee is the main presenter having transferred there from the UK channel in 2008.[7][8][9] The Latin American variant uses Roser Cabañas, present on-screen since 2009[10], with the Polish channel showcasing Aneta Bożena Piotrowska as main presenter since 2008.[7][8][11] The South African channel utilises Sidney Sloane, who has presented for the channel alongside the UK version since 2009.[7]

Previous presenters include:

Stranded Segments

In the UK, the CBeebies channel and terrestrial service use stranded segments throughout the day. Each segment features its own presenting team and feature special idents to denote the strand. Originally each weekday was divided into five segments, each presented by one of the original five "core presenters" namely Chris, Nicole, Pui, Sid and Sue, with each given a core theme (for instance Sid's segment included "building and making" programmes such as Bob the Builder, Nicole's included animal programmes and so on). The segmentation was later dispensed with: only the Bedtime Hour segment was retained. In recent years the segments were reintroduced to denote the time of day and the levels of activity. These segments are:

Songs

The UK channel utilises song and music as a presentational device, often using them to teach basic knowledge or to herald the start of a stranded segment. Regular songs currently or previously broadcast are included below:

In addition to these regular songs, other special songs were used to denote seasons and seasonal activities:

CBeebies website

See also: BBC Online

The CBeebies website co-incided with the launch of the UK channel in February 2002 and showcases a child friendly site with activities themed to all CBeebies programmes, past and present, with games, songs and print-outs featuring for nearly all shows. The UK version also features links to CBeebies iPlayer, a child friendly version of the BBC iPlayer featuring CBeebies programmes only, to CBeebies radio player and a dedicated micro site containing advice for raising children and toddlers called CBeebies Grown-ups, which was relaunched in 2011.[40][41][42]

The international channels are run by BBC Worldwide, and their websites are operated by the company also. As a result, not all of them are the same and some channels have less extensive websites than other services. CBeebies channels in Asia, Australia, Poland, South Africa and the USA all have their own international variant.
