So, I like to make lists a lot. I decided to make a list of current & former YTV programming that interests me. One that that always puzzled me on the list was "Bear in the Big Blue House". That was like my favorite show as a young child. I still like watching it now because it's so soothing and gentle (and quirky in the case of the Shadow stories), and sometimes I just like to get away from all the complicated things in the life of a teenager who's going on to be an adult. I used to always watch it on Treehouse when I was younger (and I have tons of VHS recordings of it from there, along with fillers "Pet Squad" and "Wanna Play?"), but I found on the list of YTV programming on Wikipedia that it was von that channel. The YTV Wiki also stated that it aired on there from 2003-2008. It went off Treehouse in 2006. Two problems though. YTV stopped airing preschool programming in 2005, and I checked the YTV logs from December 2003, and it wasn't there. I have a cold and some homework to do as of the time I'm writing this, so I thought I'd take a shortcut in my search. Is "'Bear in the Big Blue House' on YTV" a false statement, or do any of you remember watching it on there? I would like to know. Thanks so much.
Disney prefers to keep their own content on their own branded platforms but their willing to let that slide for more money. They are a company after all.
I can't find anything official that it aired on YTV. Disney is also not a company that has their shows on non-Disney channel TV stations.
I've actually seen YTV air several Disney movies recently like Aladdin and Toy Story, so it wouldn't surprise me if Bear did play on there. As for the person who mentioned CBBC airing Disney shows, they also aired Nickelodeon's The Wild Thornberries in a Saturday block showing shows imported from other countries. They also ran Rugrats for about a decade. Or maybe they were simply confusing networks it aired on. An example I remember is an entry on TV Tropes that mentioned that Rugrats aired on PBS. When this topic was discussed online, one user said that whoever wrote the entry confused it for the CBS airings. I learned later that the PBS/CBS confusion happens often. For example, on a post about 2000's shows on PBS, they mentioned Between The Lions and someone asked "Hey, didn't Between The Lions air on CBS and not PBS?". So I'm guessing whoever wrote that probably confused Treehouse for YTV.
