Clan (TV channel)

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. Musical programs such as Operacion Triunfo, the Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest are also broadcast on the channel.

In 2010, the channel started promoting internet safety to children.

An international feed started broadcasting in Latin America in 2017.

In December 2023, the channel acquired the rights to H2O: Just Add Water and its sequel spin-off Mako: Island of Secrets. RTVE paid producer-distributor ZDF Studios a sum of €280,900 to air the two series.

On January 30, 2025, it was announced that before the end of the year, the channel will start broadcasting its content in Basque, Catalan and Galician too. The Catalan audio track was originally scheduled to arrive in the fall, but it was later postponed to spring 2026.
