CBC has launched a new commercial-free CBC Kids streaming channel, available on CBC Gem and the CBC Kids YouTube channel.
The channel features a variety of CBC Kids animated and live-action series for kids aged two to 10, including preschool offerings like Dino Ranch; live action stop-motion series Go Togo, about the vehicles of Transitville; and Hey Duggee, about a big dog and his friends; in addition to Molly of Denali, following an Indigenous girl and her friends.
Concurrently, Radio-Canada launches two French-language ad-free streaming channels for children and youth, La chaîne Jeunesse and La chaîne L’Agent Jean, available on ICI TOU.TV.
“The CBC Kids streaming channel strengthens our commitment to serve kids and families across Canada with inspiring, family-friendly and fun content on their preferred platforms,” said Sally Catto, General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports, CBC, in an announcement from the public broadcaster. “This new commercial-free channel will offer easy access – all day, every day – to some of the most popular children’s programming that CBC has to offer.”
The current season of ongoing CBC Kids series will continue to be available separately on CBC TV, CBC Gem and the CBC Kids YouTube channel.
CBC Gem is available for free as an app for iOS and Android devices, online at CBCGem.ca, and on connected TVs via Roku, Samsung, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG, Google Chromecast, Android TV and Xbox, as well as TV service provider Rogers Xfinity.
