CBBC on Choice

[edit]

See discussion at Talk:CBeebies.

Cleanup

[edit]

I have alerted members of WikiProject BBC to help with the cleanup. If it wasn't for the fact that the channel is a notable UK channel, it could be nominated for deletion in its current state. --tgheretford (talk) 22:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just think that the lists of programmes are unneccessary and unsuitable. That's why I added the templates, hopefully it can be brought up to scratch. Gammondog 22:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My bigger worry is that there isn't much substance to the article, aside from the introduction, the lists are unencyclopedic (violating WP:NOT#DIR and WP:NOT#IINFO) and most of the text doesn't bear too much relevance, as well as no references to anything, violating WP:V and WP:RS. As I say, if it wasn't for the notability of the channel, it could be ripe for an AfD nomination. It needs a major cleanup, something I can't really do at this minute. --tgheretford (talk) 22:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Although the article doesn't, without cleanup, some sections also fail WP:N, without cleanup and verifiable reliable sources. I have tagged the relevant sections with the {{importance-s}} template to aid cleanup. --tgheretford (talk) 22:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've made a couple of adjustments -- I've removed a couple of those tags, tho' -- not because I disagree with the sentiment, but because six plus tags on one page is a little overkill. Agree that the list should be removed. I think the most gaping omission is a 'History' section. The JPStalk to me 23:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Launch date of the CBBC Channel and protecting the article

[edit]

This is getting out of hand now! The CBBC CHANNEL launched on 11 February 2002. This article is about the CHANNEL NOT the programming block on BBC One, BBC Two and formerly on BBC Choice. There is a seperate article for the CBBC brand/strand on BBC One/Two. In my opinion, I think this article needs to be semi-protected to prevent the date changing. How does everyone else feel about it? Skytvfreak (talk) 20:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, we don't want to know about CBBC when it was on BBC one/BBC two that is why we looked it up in the first place. P.S Nearly everybody knows it aired in 2002 not 2007! Lavinder111 (talk) 17:47, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


CBBC Channel → CBBC (channel) – The term "CBBC Channel" is only used if there is ambiguity between it and the programming strand; common usage is "CBBC" (as in, "Tracy Beaker is on CBBC at 2pm", and even the BBC call it CBBC if they're clearly referring to the channel: q.v. [1], programme guides. Sceptre (talk) 00:17, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Cleanup 2011

[edit]

Hi all, This page needs serious clean-up - having open links in the text is an early warning sign for me. There also needs to be some serious distinction between this page and the strand at CBBC. Rafmarham (talk) 14:35, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've only checked Data til' 2005 but I presume this is accurate for the Top 10 but if anyone wants to check before I get a chance to do so it would be appreciated. Wilbur2012(talk) 20:57, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Viewing figures outdated

[edit]

http://www.barb.co.uk/viewing/weekly-total-viewing-summary

The weekly audience reach is 4.5M, not the 300K in the opening paragraph. It feels likes the article predated the analog switchoff. 91.84.28.61 (talk) 23:10, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The age range

[edit]

The age range stated starts off as being for 6-12 year olds and changes to 4-12 year olds. We need to decide what age range we want.
--Lavinder111 (talk) 17:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)P.S. Can someone who reads this message please change this the put it on here[reply]

I have done it don't worry! Lavinder111 (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CBBC= Childrens BBC?

[edit]

What does the abbreviation actually mean?--89.12.14.77 (talk) 00:10, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@89.12.14.77: Yes, as it says at CBBC, "CBBC (a contraction of the original name Children's BBC)". -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 00:58, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
where did you get that quote? oh, now I see, at CBBC. so, there are two channels that share the same logo? but still, I came to CBBC (TV channel) in the first place and it does not say what CBBC stands for (or at least I couldn't find it).--89.12.14.77 (talk) 01:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A question about CBBC's broadcast area

[edit]

I know about the "not forum" rule, but i'm curious and just want to ask one question: is CBBC also broadcast in Northern Ireland/Scotland/Wales?


Lately i've been thinking it only broadcasts in England. Correct me if i'm wrong.


--CasualWikian796725 (talk) 21:16, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:CasualWikian796725: CBBC is broadcast throughout the UK, that's England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. -- AxG / ✉  22:29, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ok --CasualWikian796725 (talk) 23:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Age range

[edit]

The age range of the TV channel is for 6 to 12 year-olds, this is according to the current BBC website and its past service licences such as in 2016 and 2010. In no past service agreement or statement issued by the BBC, I can find otherwise. However, an IP editor keeps changing this range to 6-17 with citations that don't support this, such as a dead link to the 2010 licence (which states otherwise) and a link to the CBBC website rules (which does say "Children aged 6-15 years old use the CBBC website", but does not support the 6-17 age range for the TV channel). I've restored the 6-12 range unless there's something authoritative that says otherwise. --Voello talk 13:10, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Historically the CBBC block had a wider age range in the analogue era - ISTR that around 1990 it was officially supposed to be suitable for age 3-16 but good luck finding that confirmed on the web all these years later. Digital seems to have streamlined the BBC's children's offerings (and just highlighted the long-running problem of its poor teen offering) and did create some problems for shows whose appeal traditionally ran older - e.g. look at how Grange Hill changed in its last years. There's a problem that between this article and BBC Children's and Education the distinctive CBBC brand launched in 1985 isn't too well covered in a single place and I wonder if that's what's causing the confusion and IP changes.

Requested move 22 July 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 18:19, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

– I don't want to come off as annoying due to me constantly asking for moves, but this one I really have to make. The TV channel is 100% the primary topic. cbbc.co.uk is the domain for the website of this channel, @cbbc on Twitter is for this TV channel, and would assume out of the other CBBC pages, this one gets the most page views.
