Jeem TV


Jeem TV, formerly known as Al Jazeera Children's Channel, is a Qatari pay television channel, aimed at kids between 7 and 12 years old. It is owned by the beIN Network.

History

The channel was launched as JCC on 9 September 2005.
The first major rebrand for JCC happened on 16 January 2009, coinciding with the launch of sister channel Baraem.
On 29 March 2013, JCC was rebranded as JeemTV. The word "Jeem" is a reference to the letter Gimel in the Arabic alphabet. It is depicted in the logo.
On 1 April 2016, Jeem TV and Baraem on Arabsat and Nilesat have both been encrypted in favour of HD feeds available exclusively via the beIN Channels Network service. JEEM Europe and Baraem Europe also left Hot Bird in June 2018.

Programming

Content featuring children includes:
The channel also broadcasts nature documentaries and cartoon and animation programmes.
The content is mostly third-party foreign shows, though the channel does produce some material itself. The bought-in material is selected from the international market. Foreign-language material is translated into Arabic, either by voice-over, dubbing or by subtitles.
The channel produces its own cartoon TV series and other animations, and also participates in co-productions with other public service children’s channels around the world.
JeemTV's Channel is free to view on Badr, Arabsat, Nilesat, Hotbird and Eurobird and is also distributed by a number of other operators across Europe.
Jeem TV developed its multimedia programme for learning and creativity with an interactive website. The website is bilingual in Arabic and English and provides more than 200 hours of educational and entertainment material. Members can also upload their images and videos and share them with other children around the world.
Programming for the pre-school sector, aged 3 to 6 years old, is presented under the title Baraem.
