CBBC and CBeebies Gaelic

On the same day CBeebies and CBBC launch Gaelic versions on ALBA, which look and feel similar to their English-language operations. The major initiative marks the 10th anniversary of BBC ALBA, and celebrates 40 years of Gaelic language children’s programming on the BBC. Bill Macleod, executive producer for BBC ALBA and leading the initiative, says: “This is a bold new commitment to inclusion and diversity, giving Gaelic-speaking children and parents their own unique versions of the BBC’s much-loved children’s strands. It’s been a fantastic collaborative effort with our colleagues at BBC Children’s in Salford.

We know the kids will love what is in store for them. Margaret Mary Murray, head of the BBC’s Gaelic Services, says: “Children’s programmes lie at the heart of BBC ALBA’s daily schedule and we are delighted to be able to offer such an exciting and substantial development which will bring real value and impact to our young audience through a unique BBC partnership. Ian France, Head of Presentation, BBC Children’s says: “The Presentation department for CBBC and CBeebies is the beating heart of both channels and is expert at engaging with children all over the UK so I’m thrilled that this new partnership means even more children will be able to enjoy our wonderful content.
