CBBC Logo History

"CBBC Ident History" made by TR3X PR0DÚCTÍ0NS, 24/03/2023.
CBBC, known as Children's BBC or the CBBC Channel, has origins to September 1985, when it was presented at 15:55 BST by Philip Schofield on BBC One and BBC Two. The early graphics and idents were generated by a BBC Micro computer, with which the BBC had been experimenting with some years earlier prior the launch of CBBC. Children's BBC began to be informally referred to on-air as CBBC during the 1990s, and this is noted in the third logo that displays the abbreviation (1997-2002). The programmes from the network were shown on the channel Nickelodeon, as part of the CBBC on Nickelodeon (known as Children's BBC on Nickelodeon from 1996 to 1997) programming block that aired in the years 1996-99. In September 1998, the BBC launched the first British TV channel to broadcast exclusively in digital format, and this was BBC Choice; this saw the channel broadcasting children's programming in a Saturday afternoon slot (subsequently replaced by the daily 6am to 7pm service CBBC on Choice, which aired archive pre-school programming and was the predecessor of the current CBBC and CBeebies channels). The CBBC Channel was launched on Monday 11th February 2002, a British free-to-air public broadcast children's television channel owned and operated by the BBC. It is the brand used for all BBC content for children aged six to twelve; its sister channel, CBeebies (launched on the same day), broadcasts programming and content for children aged five and under. CBBC broadcasts every day from 7am to 7pm, and it timeshares with BBC Three (successor to BBC Choice). On 26th May 2022, the BBC announced plans for CBBC and BBC Four to be discontinued as linear television services in 2025, as part of cutbacks and other changes focusing on creating a "digital-first" BBC; this may mean the 2023 idents featured in this video may be the last idents used by CBBC on television. This video will only look at idents that prominently features the CBBC logo, since some idents exclude the CBBC logo (e.g. Welcome to CBBC One/Two ident from 2002-05). I also excluded some idents featured in my old video on CBBC (from November 2019), notably the "But First This" ident from 1992 since it was a morning children's entertainment programme on the CBBC block, not used a consistent television ident for CBBC; an exception is the This Morning intro from 1992-93 since it excludes the name of the programme, and another I included is a promo from late December 1999 that was used into early January 2000. This is one of my longest ident histories on the channel as of March 2023, and I promise the next two videos will be shorter (VCI Entertainment/Video Communications and Bagdasarian Productions).
