CBBC America (channel)

CBBC America is an American children's television Channel owned by BBC Worldwide and AMC Networks. It's the American version of the television Channel of the same name. It's a spin off of BBC America. Like BBC America and unlike CBBC, CBBC America does not receive funding from the British licence fee (which is the principal funding for the BBC's channels within the United Kingdom), as the BBC cannot fund any of its channels that are available outside the United Kingdom. 
== History ==
After the success of BBC America, AMC approached BBC with the idea to bring CBBC and CBeebies to the US. At first, BBC was hesitant but then they agreed.
==== Launch ====
The channel launched with the first program being the SpongeBob SquarePants (an agreement with Nickelodeon to air NickToons, Live-Action Nickelodeon shows, Nick Jr. Shows, and etc.) Episodes "Graveyard shift" and "Krusty Love".
And it also aired CBBC and CBeebies original programming.
