The CBC has launched a new 24/7 commercial-free kids streaming channel featuring a mix of animated and live-action shows for children aged two to 10. The new CBC Kids channel is available now on CBC Gem and the CBC Kids YouTube channel.
The lineup includes preschool hits such as Dino Ranch, Go Togo, Hey Duggee, and Molly of Denali, along with Canadian-made originals like Gary’s Magic Fort, Mittens & Pants, Big Blue, Dylan’s Playtime Adventures, and Kingdom Force. Programs for older children include Addison, The Bravest Knight, Super Agent Jon Le Bon, and the educational comedy Odd Squad.
Radio-Canada also introduced two new French-language ad-free streaming channels — La chaîne Jeunesse and La chaîne L’Agent Jean — available on ICI TOU.TV.
“The CBC Kids streaming channel strengthens our commitment to serve kids and families across Canada with inspiring, family-friendly and fun content on their preferred platforms,” said Sally Catto, General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports, CBC, in a statement on Monday. “This new commercial-free channel will offer easy access – all day, every day – to some of the most popular children’s programming that CBC has to offer.”
The CBC Kids YouTube channel has been around since 2014 and has 531,000 subscribers.
Last week, the CBC announced a free ad-supported channel for Schitt’s Creek. The public broadcaster continues to keep its CBC Gem numbers secret, and is fighting an access-to-information request in court.
CBC Gem continues to host its regular on-demand library of Canadian content, including over 700 hours of ad-free programming for kids and tweens. The CBC Kids channel is free to stream through CBC Gem’s app and website, and on smart TVs via Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, LG, and other devices.

Nice!!
24/7 for 2 to 10 year olds? If your 2 to 10 year old is up at 2AM watching TV it may be a problem……
Some Canadian families are outside of the country in other time zones. 2AM watching here is 2PM over there.
