CBeebies is a BBC television network for programming aimed at encouraging "learning through play in a consistently safe environment for children aged 6 or under", and providing "high quality, mostly UK-produced programmes".
The name is used to brand the free-to-air domestic British channel, and is used for international variants supported by advertising, subscription or both. The channel was first launched on 11 February 2002.
The channel has won a number of awards. At the BAFTA Children's Awards, it won awards every year between 2002 and 2016 inclusive, including "Best Pre-school Live Action Series" in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008. It has also won "Best Schools Programme – 0–6 years" awards (or equivalent) from the Royal Television Society between 2002 and 2008. CBeebies is the most-watched children's channel in the UK and is the 8th most watched channel overall. CBeebies HD, an HD simulcast of the channel, officially launched on 10 December 2013.
The CBeebies channel launched on 11 February 2002. The domestic CBeebies channel broadcasts from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 pm each day– a result of the channel sharing bandwidth with the channel BBC Four on the Freeview platform. The station was joined in March 2007 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 in April 2011, this obligation has ceased. A magazine called CBeebies Weekly was first published in 2006 and still is to this day (as of July 2017).
Since 27 March 2013, CBeebies has been carried by the British Forces Broadcasting Service, sharing a channel with BFBS Extra.
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 The first international launch for the CBeebies channel was in India in May 2007, although the channel was withdrawn at the end of November 2012 due to "commercial considerations".
