Content Fees Freezing?! - CBBC & CBeebies Return to BBC2 2 Months Only

 CBBC BBC2, the third UK cable channel to launch on terrestrial television is bringing back its CBBC and CBeebies children's programming block for the first time in nine years. This classic Saturday Morning Block-styled lineup is one of the first attempts of the future of cable television content when several channels like CBBC and BBC4 go off cable TV for good (or will they?) and move to website and SVOD online broadcasting only in either 2025 or 2028 when the recent flees expires that year.

Despite airing at the same time as the CBBC channel, some of the programs including the BBC kids channel for the 7+ year olds' brand new recent Saturday Morning sketch-comedy variety show programming block Saturday Mashup! which launched on September 30th, 2017 as well as flagship CBBC and CBeebies programs like Hey Duggee (which returns for its fourth round starting Monday), Love Monsters (which has recently got acquired to Cartoon Network USA's Cartoonito preschool network), Shaun The Sheep (which used to air in the USA on Disney Channel) and flasgship long-running CBBC classics Blue Peter and Newsround will not be airing at the same time on BBC2 as they are on the two main children's networks.

The schedule for the NEW revamped CBBC2 block will include
SATURDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER
06.35 Love Monsters S03E02 "Rock & Roll Jam Sessions Day"
06.40 Go Jetters S03E01 "Honey Bees Hijackings"
07.05 Hey Duggee S03E01 "The SHUT UP!!! Badge"
07.15 Hey Duggee S03E02 "The Ducks Badge"
07.25 Shaun the Sheep S05E01 "Out of Order?!"
07.30 Dennis & Gnasher Unleashed S02E01 "Beat the BUSES"
07.45 The Ninjas Express S01E01 "Vikings With Mad Beats"
07.55 The Deep S04E01 "The HOLE Truth Part 1"
08.20 PBS Kids' Odd Squad S03E01 "Odd Beginnings Part 1"
08.30 One ZOO Three S02E01 "One ZOO Three: THE MUSICAL!"
08.55 Newsround for Saturday 3rd September 2022
09.00 Blue Peter S74 Episode with NEW Competition Sweepstakes ALERT!!!
09.30 end of children's programs, back to BBC2 starting with The World of Animals Zone

The CBBC2 weekend block will run from today, September 3rd all the way up until Halloween Saturday, October 29th running from 6.35-9.30am. This is just a trial to see if this type of schedule reconstruction can go anywhere when CBBC and BBC4 goes off cable transmissions forever This change is also put into affect because of most UK and Ireland households not having good enough access to WiFi, computers, phones and tablets and having to pay expensive amounts for British television and trying to find a way to make it accessible for children across the pond and for the Beeb to save money.
