History

It was launched on 12 December 2005 and until 1 January 2007 it had time-shared with TVE 50 Años betweem 9pm and 7am, which has since closed. The service since then broadcasts 24 hours a day. Clan is available free on digital terrestrial television (known as TDT in Spain) and on major subscription platforms. Although the channel primarily screens programming for children aged from two to twelve, programming for older audiences is shown during the evening and night. A mixture of Spanish and foreign programming is shown, all in the Spanish language, both live-action and animated. Some programs feature a sign-language interpreter as well. Because of this, the channel is regarded as a useful platform for primary school teachers.Observatorio Europeo de Televisión Infantil
