Children's Television

Children have more viewing choices than ever. To discuss the current state of children's television and its future, Jenni Murray is joined by leading women in the industry.

Listen With Mother; Thomas the Tank Engine; Grange Hill; Blue Peter and the Teletubbies. Over the last 50 years the UK has built a reputation for producing some of the most high quality children's programming in the world. For many years children were happy to sit comfortably and watch with mother but the last decade has seen enormous changes in children's viewing. It's estimated that around 71% of under 12 year olds have access to a tablet device for viewing. And with an increasing range of technology available and a growing number of dedicated children's channels, how are children changing the ways in which they view television? To discuss the state of children's television and its future Jenni is joined by leading women in the industry: Kay Benbow; Controller & Portfolio Head at CBeebies, Anne Wood; Head of Ragdoll Productions, creator of the Teletubbies; Anna 91热爆, Chief Executive, Children's Film and Television Foundation and Tina McCann, MD of Nickelodeon UK.
