Man this hits super hard when you look at CBBC now. I miss when tv could be like this.

[@xweetokfairy]

Urrgh, I was 10 years old and I thought the CBBC channel was the coolest thing. Good times.

[@davidterris7741]

I love this so much! I would love to have the early days of the CBBC channel on DVD or something! Keep them coming. Cheers x

20 Years Ago Today!

[@Werten25]

It has changed way too much in 16 years! :(

[@Adadevoh2000]

The first program to air under the CBBC Channel launch was UBOS (Ultimate Book of Spells), during of the "Xchange" programme.

Sadly this was when CBBC died, the best era of CBBC was the Yellow & Black era, when it was also merged and didn't have rubbish untalented stars like Fearne Cotton, Holly Willoughby, Jake Humphrey and Barney Harwood but instead had the brilliant stars like, Michael Underwood, Ana Boulter, Angellica Bell, Adrian Dickson, Liam Dolan, Matthew Price, Lizo Mazimba, Kate Sanderson, Konnie Huq, Liz Barker, Simon Thomas, Matt Baker, Katy Hill, Sarah Cawood, Ortis and Trey Farley, oh and not forgetting the funny puppet Emlyn the Gremlin.
And also this is all Nigel Pickard and Greg Dyke's fault. They should never have separated the audience of Children's BBC and they should never have launched two children's channels when they are supposed to be in school. They should have concentrated on kids programmes on BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Choice. And they should have kept CBBC as it was as for all ages of children, not split them into two separate slots. I will never forgive Nigel and Greg for this. And the logo was awful and dreadful as well. The corporate 1997 logo including the yellow and black idents were way better than that.

feel like cbeebies n cbbc as seperate channels is a waste of money plus having it merged teaches kids they cant watch what they want on tv all the time

[@Callumcox2349Gaming]

I was only 1 I leaned more towards cbeebies tbh. But this is awesome. Please upload more like these.

[@FunnyChap1994]

Thank you for this! Please upload more from this day if you have it? Or if you could, could you copy the CBBC stuff you have from this day to DVD (including any programmes etc) and send me a copy? I'd be happy to pay?

20 years today

[@camijs5466]

apparently the cbbc channel had a breakdown on its launch day.

[@zoeykeith]

The old CBBC was more fun than CBBC today. CBBC today is a bit more boring. I wish that I was born in the 2000's, but I was born on the last year of that decade, which was 2009 ☹️
But I still like watching CBBC. I'm from America, but I like watching video clips and stuff on RUclips of CBBC. I'm used to the old CBBC.
