DannLbmm commented:

I though it’d take this opportunity to list my local CBBC schedule, Kinematia, For some reason the BBC has a E/I quota for all their channels, They seem to fill this for some part of the night schedule, but they also have to fulfil the independent content quota as well

Write a continuation forum convo noting the night schedule’s quota compliance, Skatoony is a grey area between the 2 (It’s produced by CN but is a quiz show so technically E/I, Maybe a segue?, as no more E/I shows are shown after that)
User: DannLbmm, you’ve got a pretty interesting schedule there for CBBC in Kinematia! The night schedule definitely puts a unique spin on fulfilling the E/I quota along with the independent content quota.

PlutoVan commented:

Yeah, I noticed that too! It’s clever how they balance it out. From 12:00 AM with “Starship” followed by “Skatoony” at 01:00 AM, it does look like they’re sneakily integrating educational content. Even though “Skatoony” is a quiz show, it’s produced by Cartoon Network, so it’s in that gray area you mentioned. Still, it kinda works as an E/I segue, right?

PandaPower123 commented:

You’re right! After “Skatoony,” the schedule shifts away from explicit educational content with shows like “My Goldfish Is Evil” at 2 AM and “Horrid Henry” slots interspersed till early morning. But considering the late-night audience, I guess they’ve technically done enough to meet the quotas. “Starship” is definitely a solid educational pick to kick things off.

KuboFan89 commented:

I think they’ve got a good mix here. Getting through compliance early in the night is smart. By delving into comedy and adventure shows later, they keep it engaging for any night owls. Anyone else think “Viewtiful Joe” at 4 AM is an epic choice? Maybe not E/I but super fun!

DramaQueen2024 commented:

Haha, totally, KuboFan89! “Viewtiful Joe” is awesome. But I agree, they’ve struck a balance. The educational quota’s not just a tick-box exercise; they’re bringing in shows that are actually interesting. “Operation Ouch!” and “Deadly 60” in the evening are strong choices, too.

GamerGirl101 commented:

I’m curious, with the independent content quota, does “Starship” count towards that? And “Skatoony” being a joint production might also tick that box off partly, right? It’s fascinating seeing how they maneuver around these requirements!

ScienceFreak22 commented:

“Starship” doesn’t really count. It was a BBC schools programme that in the UK aired on the Class TV strand on CBBC. This kind of schedule juggling is an art! Kudos to CBBC Kinematia for this lineup.

DannLbmm commented:

Yep, you all get it! They’ve managed to slip in the educational content right at the start of the night schedule to ensure compliance, and then can afford to lean into more general entertainment. Even with “Skatoony” blurring the lines, it’s pretty well-balanced. Makes me wonder how other regions handle similar quotas. Anyone here from Duvoziane or Lichtenkania with a CBBC Intl. schedule?

TricksterJay_SL commented:

Not from there, but in Fantasia, our CBBC Intl. also juggles similar quotas. They use animated educational shorts like “Wonder Why Juniors” at night. Anyone else find these regulatory hurdles kinda fascinating? It’s like a puzzle they’re solving with their program slots!

RJ_Lane commented:

Absolutely, TricksterJay_SL! It’s a dance of sorts, balancing entertainment with regulation. I’d love to see a comparison across different countries! Also, props to CBBC Kinematia for “Starship”, it’s low-key one of the most wholesome shows out there!

Keep the conversation going, folks. Let’s hear more about local CBBC routines and how they meet these interesting requirements! 🚀📺🌟
Write a tweet saying S is BBC produced, Skatoony segues from the E/I stuff to the independent stuff, Also one overnight show is present on all feeds, especially France, Spain, Germany, and Rendoosia
Sure thing! Here’s a tweet for you:

🌟 “Starship” 🌟 is BBC-produced and kicks off the night with awesome educational content. 📚 From there, “Skatoony” seamlessly segues us from E/I into independent fun! 🚀 One overnight hit 📺 shows up on all feeds—from France 🇫🇷 and Spain 🇪🇸 to Germany 🇩🇪 and Rendoosia 🇷🇪! #CBBCIntl 🚀🌍. Write a convo asking if the channel still has the green gumdrop branding, or have they switched to the green blob branding most other feeds have
User1: Hey everyone, I’ve been wondering about the CBBC channel branding in different countries. Does the Kinematia feed still have the green gumdrop logo, or have they switched to the new green blob branding that most other international feeds are using now? 🤔

User2: That’s a good question! The green gumdrop branding was iconic for CBBC for so long. I haven’t checked in lately—does anyone know if they’ve updated it in Kinematia?

User3: Last I saw, they were still rocking the green gumdrop. But with the way rebranding efforts go, I wouldn’t be surprised if they move to the green blob soon to keep consistent with other regions.

User4: I’m from Rendoosia, and we’ve definitely made the switch to the green blob branding. It’s a bit more modern and fits in with other BBC channels here. Maybe Kinematia will follow soon!

User5: Just checked in with a friend in Kinematia, and yep—they’re still using the green gumdrop! They might be holding out a bit longer before transitioning to the new look. Anyone else got updates?

User6: I’m in Duvoziane, and we switched to the green blob about a month ago. It’s slick but I miss the old gumdrop charm! Would be interested to hear if other countries have the change coming up.

User7: Love seeing how the branding evolves and varies by country. If Kinematia switches, I hope they do a cool rollout or at least a nod to the gumdrop visuals for nostalgia! 😊

Let us know if any of you spot a branding change in Kinematia or elsewhere! ✨
Write a convo asking what is on all overnight lineups at all feeds
User1: Hey everyone, just curious—does anyone know what’s the consistent show across all overnight lineups on the CBBC International feeds? 📺 I’m really interested to see which show makes the cut everywhere!

User2: Good question! I’ve noticed that some programs are quite universal, but I’m not entirely sure what the consistent one is. Anyone have details?

User3: From what I’ve heard, “Starship” is pretty common across most regions’ overnight slots. It’s such a neat, educational show that fits well with the overnight theme. Can anyone confirm?

User4: Yep, in Spain, “Starship” is definitely part of our overnight lineup. Fits right in with the educational content for that audience. I wonder if it’s the same over in Germany and France?

User5: In Germany, we have “Starship” too! It’s kind of comforting knowing that no matter where you are, there’s a little piece of consistent CBBC content. How about in places like Rendoosia?

User6: Rendoosia here, and can confirm, “Starship” is part of our overnight schedule as well! Seems like it’s the go-to for late-night viewing. Guess it’s a great space adventure for everyone, anytime! 🌌

User7: Fascinating how “Starship” is universal across the board. I wonder what makes it such a perfect fit for CBBC’s overnight slots everywhere. Maybe it’s the educational element?

User8: “Starship” has that wholesome and educational vibe that appeals globally, I guess. It’s great to see CBBC maintaining some consistency while catering to different cultures!

If anyone has more insights or updates on other parts of the lineup, do share! 🌟 Write a convo asking what the branding in use in Spain is, also is it true that Kiteretsu was recently replaced in the overnight schedule, what replaced it
User1: Hey everyone, I’m curious about the CBBC branding used in Spain right now. Have they switched to the green blob branding, or are they still using something else? 🇪🇸

User2: Great question! I haven’t seen the latest. Last I checked, they were using the green gumdrop, but changes happen, so not sure if they’re on the green blob yet. Anyone know?

User3: As of now, Spain is definitely on the green blob branding. It’s similar to what a lot of other international feeds are using, sleek and modern! 🎨

User4: Oh interesting! Also, I heard a rumor that “Kiteretsu” was recently replaced in Spain’s overnight schedule. Is that true? If so, any idea what took its place?

User5: Yep, that’s true! They removed “Kiteretsu” from the lineup not too long ago. It’s been replaced by “Starship,” which seems to be showing up in several countries’ overnight slots. 🚀

User6: Confirmed here too. “Starship” is now part of the overnight schedule in Spain, bringing in some engaging educational content with it. It’s a solid replacement, I think!

User7: “Starship” seems to be a popular choice across a lot of regions lately. It’s great to see CBBC keeping things fresh while still providing quality content. If anyone has more info on why “Starship” is chosen, I’d love to hear more!

User8: Probably because it ticks the right boxes for education and entertainment in night slots. Plus, who doesn’t love a good space adventure story? 🌌

Keep sharing if there are more updates or insights on CBBC schedules around the globe! 🌏
Write a convo asking what change happened first in Spain
User1: Hey folks, I’m curious about something! In Spain, which change happened first: the switch to the green blob branding or the replacement of “Kiteretsu” in the overnight schedule? 🇪🇸

User2: That’s a good question! Tracking the timeline of these updates can be tricky. I think the branding switch happened first, but I’m not entirely sure. Anyone have the exact details?

User3: From what I remember, the switch to the green blob branding was the first change. It was part of a wider update that happened a while ago. The overnight schedule change came after that.

User4: Yep, User3 is right! The branding shift to the green blob came first. They made that transition across several countries, and then later on, they updated the overnight lineup by replacing “Kiteretsu” with “Starship.”

User5: I can confirm that timeline too. I noticed the new branding pop up on our channels before hearing about the schedule update. It seems like CBBC wanted to streamline the look first and then focus on content.

User6: Makes sense for them to prioritize visual branding changes before content scheduling. Really enjoying “Starship,” though, as part of that update—it fits perfectly in the overnight slots!

User7: Thanks for clarifying, everyone! It’s interesting to see how these changes roll out. If anyone has more insights on further updates, keep them coming! 😊Write a convo in April saying from May 3, Kiteretsu and Inazuma Eleven will both be gone
