On March 21, 2019, Ameba became the first CAVCO-accredited (Canadian Audio-Visual Certification Office), independent, children's streaming service allowing content producers to meet the "Shown in Canada" requirement for the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit (CPTC) program. [3]
Ameba content comprises over 14,000 episodes and 2,800 hours of children's programming from small independent providers, YouTube creators, [4] and international producers. [5] [6] [7] The service's programming spans educational content, preschool-targeted shows, classic shows from the 1980s-2000s, movies, animations, and music.
Ameba is currently available in Canada and the United States. Users without an account can only "watch one free, ad-supported video per show", while registered users can watch up to five. Accounts with a premium subscription can view the service's full catalogue, including feature-length movies, and without advertisements. [8]
