===Children's programming=== BBC Choice also aired [[Children's television|children's programmes]]; this duty transferred to [[CBBC]] and [[CBeebies]] when they launched on 11 February 2002. For the first year of BBC Choice, children's programming would air on weekend afternoons as '''CBBC Choice''', and included strands like 'Dog & Dinosaur', 'The Crew Room', 'L&K Replay' and 'Re:Peter'. From 29 November 1999, this was supplanted with a daily '''CBBC on Choice''' strand, running from 6{{nbsp}}am to 7{{nbsp}}pm every day, for programmes aimed at pre-school children, with presentation links pre-recorded by a CBBC presenter. It included repeats of archive shows rarely seen on the main channels, such as the first few series of ''[[Bodger & Badger]]'', ''[[Mr Benn]]'', ''[[Paddington (TV series)|Paddington]]'', ''[[Simon and the Witch]]'', ''[[Ivor the Engine]]'', ''[[Jonny Briggs]]'', ''[[Pigeon Street]]'', and ''[[Bitsa]]''. This continued until February 2002, when the [[CBBC]] and [[CBeebies]] channels launched, with the [[CBBC|CBBC channel]] taking up BBC Choice's daytime broadcast bandwidth, but occupying a separate [[electronic program guide|EPG]] position.
