The Baby Expo has announced that for the first time this year the wonderful world of CBeebies (channel 306 on DStv) will be joining the Expo at the Coca-Cola Dome to provide even more first class entertainment for its most important guests – you and your children.
“We’re delighted to be part of
The Baby Expo this year. We are always looking for opportunities to bring the CBeebies brand to life through local events and to let people know about the great mix of programming we have to offer little learners. CBeebies has a strong mix of programming – from animation to live action, story-telling to puppetry,” explains Mette Haack, Marketing Director, BBC Worldwide Channels.
This will be the first time South Africans will get to see
The Fimbles live on stage right here in Johannesburg, together with another first – presenter, Sid Sloane, who’s coming all the way from the UK to be part of the CBeebies experience.
“We hope all visitors to
The Baby Expo will come and see us for some CBeebies fun, as well as getting the chance to join in with our characters, and for the first time in South Africa, presenter, Sid Sloane, be presenting the show with everyone’s favourites -
The Fimbles.”
“CBeebies is very interactive, encouraging parents and carers to be involved in the child’s viewing experience and helping them to learn through play. The channel is aimed at the pre-school audience and that’s who we make and acquire programmes for. The shows themselves have a broad appeal, however. This is why research finds a lot of what we call communal viewing on CBeebies. Mums; Dads; and carers actually love sitting down and watching the channel with their children,” adds Mette Haack, Marketing Director, BBC Worldwide Channels.
With CBeebies you can be safe in the knowledge that your children have a safe and trustworthy, advertising-free viewing environment supporting the BBC’s core values to inform, educate and entertain.
The CBeebies characters are really excited about meeting all the children and mummies and daddies so don’t miss out and make sure you’re at
The Baby Expo to welcome them.
The Baby Expo will be kick start with its first show for the year in Johannesburg from 13 to 16 May at the Coca Cola Dome, but visitors can look forward a second Johannesburg show to their list, scheduled from 25 to 28 November at the Coca-Cola Dome.
