CBBC
CBBC - short for Children's BBC - is the brand-name for the BBC's children's television programmes aimed at children aged between 6 and 12 years old. The Children's BBC name as a dedicated programming strand began on 9 September 1985, with the CBBC name used informally since 1990. This became official with a relaunch of the BBC's branding in 1997. CBBC programmes are shown on BBC One, BBC Two, BBC HD and the CBBC Channel. CBBC has a sister brand, CBeebies, for children under 6, split off from the CBBC brand in 2002.
