CBC has rolled out a 24,7 commercial free CBC Kids streaming channel for ages two to ten, available now on CBC Gem and the CBC Kids YouTube channel. The lineup mixes preschool and school age series, including Dino Ranch, Hey Duggee, Molly of Denali, and CBC originals like Gary’s Magic Fort. Radio Canada is launching two French language ad free youth channels in parallel on ICI TOU.TV. CBC frames the move as meeting families on the platforms they already use, with current seasons of shows still available separately on TV and on demand.
