The article CBBC Presenters was nominated for deletion. The debate was closed on June 8, 2008 with a consensus to merge the content into CBBC. If the merger is not completed promptly, CBBC Presenters might be re-nominated for deletion. To discuss the merger, please use this talk page.

We have a channel infobox for this article, but it's not actually about the channel. It wrongly gives the impression that it's referring to a standalone channel that launched in 1985, rather than a programming strand (especially with the "Sister channel: Cbeebies" in there). -Bonalaw 18:19, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I've removed it, and merged it with the very similar one on CBBC Channel. BillyH 18:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

My mistake, I hadn't spotted the CBBC Channel page. Jbattersby 18:57, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Recently 86.25.38.209 re-added the channel infobox - I'd like to remind people that this article is about Children's BBC, a part of the BBC, not the CBBC Channel. Have removed. _TheIslander 17:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

BBC press office says Alison Sharman took up her role as the new Controller of CBBC in June 2005. I read that she actually started in July. Was there any reason for changing it from July to October? Damson88 22:00, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] CBBC target audience

There was a bit of confusion earlier this year regarding age ranges, due to Mark Thompson's announcement of Creative Future. But the BBC has now clarified things as no change on CBBC target audience (6-12). The teen offering will not be a channel or station - rather a collection of content suitable for teens (13 - 17) across TV, Radio1 and the web. I think they are intending to start some of the new programming in the first half of next year. Damson88 16:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why 2 parts

Why are the 2 parts on Programmes shown on CBBC while the frist one has all except Smile and the sencond on only have Smile? --User:Bobthebobthetimothy 12 18:14 December 2006

[edit] watch my chops

I don't live in the UK so has Watch My Chops a.k.a. Corneil and Bernie stopped airing on the CBBC channel and Saturday/Sunday Morning Cbbc?-Spongebobpwnsjoo

Nevermind, it airs on the cbbc channel.-Spongebobpwnsjoo

[edit] Byker Grove

Byker finished in December on the CBBC Channel, but hasn't been on BBC1 yet. So it's still current until it has been shown, surely? Digifiend

[edit] BBC Children's

Now, I can see why BBC Children's could technically be notable enough for it's own article, but as far as I can see, it never will be. For that reason, I suggest merging it with this article, and I will do so soon if there are no objections. _TheIslander 16:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to sign comment from yesterday. I've gone ahead and merged it now. _TheIslander 16:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logos

The logos need splitting onto two lines, you have to scroll right at 1024x768 resolution. Digifiend 12:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC) Rats, forgot to log in. I've altered the username link. Digifiend

Hang on, 1024x768 isn't the standard low resolution anymore, though, is it? I thought it was 1280x1024, in which the logos look fine. I'm happy to be proven wrong, though, with the right sources. _TheIslander 12:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
