BBC Kids

BBC Kids is a Canadian digital cable specialty network which was launched in 2001. Although run in part by BBC Worldwide, BBC Kids (or BBCK) is considered a Canadian network, and is not considered directly connected to the parent BBC.

The network airs a mixture of Canadian and British programming aimed at younger audiences, and in recent years the network has been airing reruns of the original Doctor Who series. In 2007, it won the Canadian broadcast rights to The Sarah Jane Adventures, although it is not yet known whether it will air the second season of the spin-off. In mid-2009 it was announced that Shaw Cable, one of Canada's major cable providers, would be dropping BBC Kids from its digital cable line-up.
