CBC has launched a new streaming channel called CBC Kids. Available through streaming service CBC Gem and YouTube, the commercial-free channel will specialize in content for children between the ages of two and 10. Radio-Canada has also launched two French-language streaming channels for children called La chaîne Jeunesse and La chaîne L'Agent Jean, available through 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 of entertainment, factual and sports pregramming at CBC. “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.”
