New look CBBC

Back in the old days when Freeview had BBC Red Button on 301 and 302 the CBBC Extra stream would appear there when there was nothing else to show on it. This had the effect of CBBC Extra occasionally spending more time on air on 301 than the channel (then on 30, later 70, later whatever it's on now) it was being an extra to.

However I very much doubt 9pm-7am would get the Extra loop; if you're going to do that you may as well just extend CBBC to a 24hr service and have done with it.



Though many CBBC shows do air abroad (those made in house by/for the BBC I should say, rather than those made in conjunction with other broadcasters), the CBBC brand is probably only limited in that regard to end-caps.

Sign of a good brand when you can spin it off across the globe with considerable success. I take it CBeebies internationally has similar presentation to the UK channel?

ah, and I see CBBC now appears on the Programmes website, which it didn't for a while: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/programmes/schedules/2016/04/11#evening

I noticed they haven't updated the logos for BBC 3 and CBBC at the bottom of that page.

BBC Three needs removing, not updating.

Surely they should keep it there and when someone clicks on it, they are brought to the BBC II! iPlayer page. Better than nothing.

There's a Canadian version of CBBC, but it's called BBC Kids.

Its not directly connected though, they show most Canadian content

Canadian channels have a minimum quota of Canadian content

Surprisingly, BBC Kids was the first to use the 2002 CBBC/CBeebies branding as it came in 2001 (and the bugs are yellow)

It's always been there, although most CBBC and CBeebies programmes annoyingly redirect to their own websites leaving their programme pages impossible to view.



I suppose they could do with removing the icon, but not the schedules which, as with all BBC channels, are archived back to 2007 - or at least they should be, for some reason BBC Three is now defaulting to the HD schedule, meaning that schedules prior to December 2013 cannot currently be viewed.

CBBC on Sky for some reason has no listings past 2pm on Monday on either the regular SD channel or the HD channel, but does feature "programmes start at 7:00am" at 9pm.
