Doha: Aljazeera Children’s Channel (JCC) has recently enhanced its partnership with BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC to offer a wide range of new television shows for its Arab audiences.
As a result of this agreement, JCC will be able to offer over 180 hours of new BBC programming with a range of genres such as natural history, pre-teen content, adventure, comedy and animation.
The shows are fun, appealing and informative, and consistent with JCC’s content strategy around a strict selection process to ensure that all broadcasted content supports children’s self-esteem, creative thinking, and interactivity, thus becoming a part of their learning process.
All programmes will be dubbed into classical Arabic and will be broadcast on JCCTV and Baraem TV in early next year.
Programming includes original wildlife documentaries such as Deadly 60 and Deadly 360, and the natural history children’s series Andy’s Wild Adventures. Other shows include Leonardo – the exploits of young Leonardo Da Vinci and MI High, an adventure comedy about a division of teen spies.
Animated comedy shows include Me and My Monsters; a comedy show combining puppets and live action, and In The Night Garden, a televisual representation of a nursery rhyme picture book for preschoolers on Baraem TV. Another new show is Baby Jake, a live action/animation series featuring a nine-month old baby living in a windmill with his parents and 10 other children. The selected programming also includes The Adventures of Abney and Teal – animated adventures of two friends, in the middle of the big city. The Peninsula
