CBeebies (Latin America)

CBeebies is a British free-to-air children's television channel owned and operated by the BBC and within the international operations division of the BBC Studios company. Its programming is targeted at young children aged 6 years and younger, with sister channel CBBC aimed at viewers aged over 7 years.

It began broadcasting in Latin America in 2008. Some of the first operators to start distributing the channel were Sky in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, Cable Mágico and Telmex TV in Peru, Cable Unión in Colombia, Cable Hogar in Chile and Gigared in Argentina. .

The channel ceased its broadcasts on April 13, 2017, along with the Latin American versions of BBC Entertainment and BBC Earth.

Why has it closed?

 * Limited available and licensing formalities: Since 2007, the BBC already had its own streaming service, BBC iPlayer, which made it more widely available and without licensing procedures.
 * BBC focus on its own streaming service: Which makes no sense as BBC iPlayer will never leave the UK, instead Cbeebies series have a new home on Netflix and few channels, like Nat Geo Kids, which makes Cbeebies content rare to find on TV channels in the region.

Probability of returning
It is very unlikely that Cbeebies will return to Latin America, even more so being from a British company that has already made its decision.

Of all, one day more channels in the region will be able to show the channel's recent programs.
