Al Jazeera Children's Channel

Al Jazeera Children's Channel (JCC), a Pan Arabic edutainment channel, was launched in September 2005. Through its unique concept and a range of own produced educational programmes, JCC opens up avenues for Arab Children to learn about different environments and cultures, as well as encourage them to learn and seek knowledge.

JCC's extensive range of programmes in Arabic appeals to and educates children aged three to fifteen. JCC produces about 40% of the broadcast programmes, and maintain a low ratio of cartoon slots (13%). JCC is the first Arabic Children's channel to present a debate show where Arab Children can express themselves and communicate their thoughts. Al Jazeera Children's Channel is also the first to produce thematic magazines in Arabic covering different educational subjects: Science, Health, Technology, Sports as well as a game show which includes general knowledge information, physical challenges and fun.

Al Jazeera Children's Channel has deployed state-of-the-art studios and facilities to ensure high quality TV production. JCC is committed to broadcasting new programmes for 6 of the 18 hours on weekdays and 7 of the 19 hours on weekends.
