CBBC (
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 and the
CBBC Channel. CBBC has a sister brand,
CBeebies, for children under 6. The CBBC brand for BBC One and BBC Two are known as CBBC One on BBC One and CBBC Two on BBC Two.
