Why no Cbeebies channel in the US?

[zeebre12]

I was over in the UK recently and my young kids were watching a channel called Cbeebies from the BBC, its ained at preschool age. Lots of other English speaking countries seem to have their own version like Australia, Canada and other language countries also. Why doesnt the US have its own version? My kids really enjoyed the shows such as teletubbies.

We have one, Nick Jr. You'll find it on channel 169....

PBS Kids. Over the air subchannel in most markets

Yes, PBS and PBS Kids channel play the content but not 24/7 Like a separate channel. I think you can also access it on devices like Roku and Amazon Fire TV. For what it's worth Charlie Ergen has historically said that PBS Kids wants to much money.

PBS Kids is a 24/7 channel

There is Cbeebies channel in spanish on dish latino package

Rights to material are sold on a country by country basis. For example the Teletubbies belong to Nick in the USA.

The channel as well as other UK channels are available on a private channel Roku has, I believe it is one of the FilmOn channels. There are several.

Cbeebies latin america - Hispanic USA (Dual market, single feed) is available in DISH latino.

Cbeebies Latin America is to shutdown, but the linear channel will continue to operate in the US. How do rights for programs work for Spanish language channels compared to Engllish language in the US? Could they launch an English version of this or are these just Spanish rights?

Cbeebies on Demand (English On Demand Content) & Cbeebies En Español (Spanish Live TV Channel) ceased operations after October 31st on all Satellite & Cable TV providers. All of them that carried Cbeebies On Demand & Cbeebies En Español. (DishLatino, Xfinity, Sling TV, etc)

A resurrected nearly 4 year old thread. Somehow I don't think it makes a difference.

That's two threads resurrected lately.

That's two threads resurrected lately.

True, there was that Frontpage News thread resurrected from 2010, about Dish announcing that they will be carrying locals in all 210 DMA's. As of the time I am posting this, that thread still has the most recent post in the SatelliteGuys Support Center.

And now the most recent post there is a spam ad for discounted flights:

50% Off All hopper cheap Flights | Flight Sale Just Announced

hopper customer service number holiday packages at discounted price. Search flights and get best deal on air tickets 50 % Discount Contact us +1-877-209-1629

www.satelliteguys.us

I saw the headline on the Forum List page (shortened to "50% off All hopper chea...") and thought that someone actually had a sale on Hopper receivers, which would be convenient for buying receivers right before Dish lowers the equipment fees for purchased receivers. Sadly, this ad was a big disappointment.

 

[pattykay]

Someone is really on the ball. As soon as I posted the above, that ad was removed. Thanks!

I seem to remember seeing this service available on-line as 24/7, but I think it requires a subscription.
