Streaming Is The Future - CBBC, BBC4 and BBC4 Radio Extra To Go Off Cable in Either 2025 or 2028

 Over the past seven years, a majority of cable TV and radio channels have been going off air or getting less viewers as all music and TV content have been released to streaming services (ABC AUS iView, Disney+, Noggin SVOD, Paramount+, HBO Max, etc.) with occasional cable upgrades here and there but it looks like BBC could be following the same fate.

It was announced earlier this week that CBBC, BBC4 and BBC4 Radio Extra would be going off cable TV and cable radio networks. The news is dissapointing but it however kinda makes sense. Almost everybody has turned off cable TV and radio and is streaming them via the internet on their computers, tablets, phones and apps on their TVs.

Luckilly, CBBC's social media has confirmed that they will be sticking on air for a while.

However, it's currently unconfirmed where these three BBC services will turn off their cable for good. According to the comany's General Director Tim Davies in a recent BBC press news article ahead of the company's century 100th years year-long centennial celebration, they could either take them off air in 2025 or extend the cable input until 2028 when the recent contract deal expires.

A recent video by Adam Martyn with his TV channel within a YouTube channel logic also had a theory on whether or not CBeebies, the company's preschool playground network since February 2002 will follow the same fate with all their new shows being produced and aired online only as well as their hosts doing the in-vision coninuity commercials breaks, although it seems pretty unlikely as CBeebies has a iSVOD page of its own via the BBC iPlayer

For BBC's growth here in America, Nick Jr. is slated to premiere the 2020 CBeebies series Kiri & Lou (3 seasons, 78x5 minutes and 16x22 minutes half-hours) on Monday June 13th at 6pm primetime. NickAlive has put this under the "Noggin" label tags posts category, presumably speculating that the series will get a Noggin SVOD release of its own, following last year's successful acquistions of JoJo & Gran Gran and Alphablocks' mathematics-teaching sequel series Numbersblocks.

Everybody Quits - Disney Ends 3 More Preschool Programs

2022 conitnues to be more of a mourning year for Playhouse Disney and Disney Junior as three more of its iconic programs from the last coupler of years comes to an end.

First off, the series finale of Fancy Nancy "Nancy Goes Back to Paris At Last" aired two months ago earlier on February 18th bringing an end to this French series adventures after four years since premiering on July 13, 2018. In the final chapter, Nancy FINALLY makes it back to her birthhome in Paris, France and never has to deal with any terrible American issues in her animated world ever again. The final episode of this aired on the same date as the Muppet Babies reboot series finale which is a homage to the late creator Jim Henson and the mid-70s childrens classic The Muppets Show.

Unfortunately, this summer will see the death of two more award-winning programs. With the launch of Disney's new preschool hit Eureka! premiering on June 22, T.O.T.S. and Mira the Royal Detective will both be coming to an end on Friday June 10th and Monday June 20th respectively.

In the final episode of T.O.T.S. which first aired on June 14, 2019 "Baby Fliers/The TOTS Musical Finale Extravaganza", the TOTS cadets make their final missions to bring the world back to justice and throw an all-singing all-dancing extravaganza as dedication to the fans who have been watching every episode.

Meanwhile in Mira the Royal Detective's final case before the detective stuff retires for good "The Big Jalour Wedding Mystery" off the series debuting March 20th, 2020, Mira and her detective agency need to crack the mystery of the whereabouts of the mishaps of the ROyal Wedding before the party is cancelled and everybody quits and goes home.

The cancellation of all four of these series Muppet Babies 2018, Fancy Nancy, TOTS and Mira the Royal Detective will be cancelled to make room for four Disney newcomers announced at last month's Disney Junior Fan Fest at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California: Hey AJ books adaptation, The Kindergarten Musical, RoboGobo and SuperKitties all of which are expected to premiere between 2022-2024 respectivvely.

RIP to all four of these timeless Disney preschool icons.
Thanks for the memories.

Jock Up The Jams - Nickelodeon To Bow Face' Music Party on June 6th

Nick Jr.'s original host Face is back by popular demand. Nickelodeon is set to bring back its iconic '90s Nick Jr. mascot from 1994-2004 in the new half-hour music variety series Face' Music Party debuting Monday June 6th airing at 11am ET/10c. In the new series, the iconic Nick Jr. mascot host plays some of the internet's modern memes and pophits filled with more kid-friendly appeal and graphics to make these contemperary pop culture icons be age-appropiate for preschool children.

In the series premiere S01E01 "Robots/Imagination", Face will crank up the volume on some technologic creativity jams. Each episode will contain two separate 15-minute music parties each based on a certain topic such as robots, friendship, sharing, pirates and imagination. Each episode will include a kid-friendly music video, learning about one of the instruments and an epic dance party finale of each episode.

This show takes a similar format as being a Nick Jr. hilarious bootleg of the ever-expanding popular kindie pop-culture impersonation album series Kidz Bop which has been around since 2001. Although it's currently unknown what exact popular songs will be featured on the show, the trailer dropped yesterday confirms one of the songs featured will be "Safe & Sound" by the Capital Cities released in 2011.

The show announced back in March will have its first season compiled of 13 episodes with 26 batches of music to crank your TV stereo up to 11. The show will also air as part of Noggin and Nick Jr.'s new "Music Mondays" block which will air new episodes of the show alongside music and rock & roll episodes of other existing series in Nick's preschool catalog. It's unknown whether or not The BeatBuds: LET'S JAM! will return for a second season during this marathon as it also fits with that category. The "Music Mondays" marathon block will air Mondays during Nick Jr.'s summer schedule on the main Nickelodeon channel at 7am-12pm ET and will slam some encores with a s econd performance at 12-5pm on the separate Nick Jr. 24/7 channel. The series will run from June 6th-August 29th, 2022 airing Mondays at 11am.

Face' Music Party is one of the seven new preschool programs that Nickelodeon, Noggin, Nick Jr. and Paramount+ currently have in the pipeline for the 2022-2023 Nickelodeon Upfront Programming season. Other titles currently in the making include the recently-announced two reboots of Dora the Explorer (one the traditional CGI-animated for preschoolers and the second being live-action for older kids aged 6-11), a PAW Patrol spinoff based on Rubble airing in Autumn 2023 for the franchise' 10th Anniversary season, Nelvana's Hamsterdale and a TV series collaboration with popular YouTube channel The Tiny Chef Show with the latter two releasing later this fall. Additional titles for next year include two new adaptations beased on children's books: Bossy Bear (first season of 30 episodes) and BOOM! Studios' HexVet (first season of 20 episodes) the latter being the first preschool series in history to be based off a graphic novel series aimed at older children.

Also in the making is a Blue's Clues & You! Live on Stage musical with tickets on sale in July and starts performing in the fall and a Blue's Clues movie featuring all three hosts ripping off SpiderMan: No Way Home entitled Blue's Big City ADventure dropping on November 18th and the anticipated theatrical PAW Patrol movie sequel PAW Patrol II: The Mighty Pups Movie in which Ryder and his dog team complete have forgotten what happened in 2018 on October Friday The 13th, 2023.
