at the end of this article about BBC3 coming back, CBBC will then finish at 7.00 pm?

am i out of touch?

The idea of extending CBBC was to provide non-adult content for younger teens

As above. CBBC doesn't just have toddler TV on.

My ten year old stays up until 9.

Not that we let her watch kids TV until that time. We're very boring and after 7pm it's the adults choice

So you're complaining that it currently runs until 9pm, even though the announcement is that they are stopping doing so? I'm confused.

Eh? My 10 year old stays up till 9. She doesn't watch cbbc but I'm sure that it's aimed for kids her age!! CBeebies is aimed for up to 7s?

Isn't CBBC aimed at KS2/KS3?

CBBC is probably more like 7-11 or something-ish.

I think you’re confusing cbbc with CBeebies. My 13 year old watched cbbc until she was maybe 11.

And even if it was CBeebies, some young kids go to bed later and sleep later, my children were pre-school age their dad worked a 11-7 shift and I was self employed so our routine was to keep the kids up til 8.30/9 to see hour after work and we all slept in til 9 most days because it worked better for us.

Isnt cbbc Aimee at like 5-12 year olds? A lot of kids 10+ would be up until 9.

There will be some older children with SEN who will enjoy watching these shows too, especially Mr Tumble.

It's aimed at 6-12 year olds. So yes, lots will be up until 9pm.

My 10 year old watches CBBC - it’s aimed at her age range. She stays up until 9 on the weekend and 8:30 in the week.

What age do you think CBBC is aimed at, and what time do you think that age range goes to bed?
FWIW, my CBBC watching child goes to bed at 9 (lights out 9.30).

So I am out of touch

Geez my kid is 10 and very much in the target age group for CBBC.

She is never asleep before 10.30pm and in lockdown it's been more like 11.30pm!

Cbeebies is only on til 7
CBBC is currently til 9

I think POP is 24 hour.

As much as you hope kids aren't awake then, it is a good distraction for those still awake because they could be waiting for an ambulance or to go on holiday.

I don’t think this is a new thing is it, 10 year olds going to bed at 8.30 or 9.30?

I had a 7pm bedtime throughout primary school but was definitely the odd one out.

yes but are 10 year olds watching TV right up until bedtime?

@Inthevirtualwaitingroom

yes but are 10 year olds watching TV right up until bedtime?

What does it matter to you if they are?

touchy? @BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz

it is just a simple question, no need for your answer

Yes you do stay up until 9.00 if you watch CBBC.. It’s aimed at 6-12 year olds.

At that time of night it's the sort of stuff that used to be on after newsround in the old days. The modern equivalent of Byker Grove etc.

I think it's fine, safe TV viewing for the late primary/early secondary age who probably don't want to be watching the one show etc.

I doubt many are watching though which is why it's being cut back to 7pm.

Ironic.

There was no need for your question.

My 9 yo watches CBBC until about 8.15, then reads in bed after that
