Ameba is a Canadian subscription streaming video service founded in 2007[1] and headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The service features children's cartoons & television series, movies, and music videos.[2]

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]

Programming

[edit]

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]
