'''Clan''' is a Spanish [[free-to-air]] television channel owned and operated by [[Televisión Española]] (TVE), the television division of state-owned [[public broadcaster]] [[RTVE|Radiotelevisión Española]] (RTVE). It is the corporation's television channel for kids, and is known for its programming for children between the ages of two and twelve.

==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 [[Digital television|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.<ref name=educativa>[https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.eliceo.com/stag/el-conciertazo-rtve.html Observatorio Europeo de Televisión Infantil] eLiceo.com</ref><ref name="Aprenderingles">{{Cite web |date=2010-05-31 |title=Aprender inglés desde muy pequeños - Noticias y Concursos Infantiles |url=http://www.rtve.es/infantil/padres/noticias/aprender-ingles-desde-muy-pequenos/333501.shtml |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110314131416/http://www.rtve.es/infantil/padres/noticias/aprender-ingles-desde-muy-pequenos/333501.shtml |archive-date=2011-03-14 |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=RTVE.es}}</ref><ref name=Indispensable>[https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.teledetodos.com/component/k2/item/404-la-asociaci%C3%B3n-de-usuarios-de-la-comunicaci%C3%B3n-rechaza-la-posible-desaparici%C3%B3n-de-clan-tv La Asociación de Usuarios de la Comunicación rechaza la posible desaparición de Clan TVE ] teledetodos.com</ref><ref name="Grupoedebe">{{Cite web |date= |title=Edebé audiovisual - Productora |url=http://www.edebe.com/edebe_audiovisual/productora.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120303045334/http://www.edebe.com/edebe_audiovisual/productora.asp |archive-date=2012-03-03 |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=Grupo Edebé}}</ref><ref name="Elpoderdelaeducación">{{Cite web |title=Recursos - Clan: los mejores contenidos infantiles de RTVE.es |url=http://www.aulaplaneta.com/Revista/tabid/105/Article/72/clan-los-mejores-contenidos-infantiles-de-rtvees.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130415100338/http://www.aulaplaneta.com/Revista/tabid/105/Article/72/clan-los-mejores-contenidos-infantiles-de-rtvees.aspx |archive-date=2013-04-15 |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=Aula Planeta}}</ref><ref name=Elpoderdelaeducación2>[https://www.rtve.es/infantil/videos-juegos/#/videos/documentales-para-ninos/todos/ CLAN: Documentales para niños - Los usuarios que más episodios han añadido a favoritos] Vídeos y juegos de Clan TVE en rtve.es</ref><ref name="RedesPunset1">{{Cite web |title=RTVE :: Buscador: preg%FAntale a punset |url=https://www.rtve.es/buscador/GoogleServlet?getfields=*&sort=date%253AD%253AL%253Ad1&output=xml_no_dtd&entsp=a__PL_Fase_0&ie=latin1&lr=lang_es&btnG=Buscar&client=RTVE&q=preg%25FAntale+a+punset&numgm=5&ie_link=utf8&site=RTVE_alacarta&tema=alacarta&oe=latin1&hostfrom=www.rtve.es&hl=es&access=p&as_sitesearch=www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/redes |access-date=2024-02-24 |website=www.rtve.es}}</ref><ref name="RedesPunset2">{{Citation |title=Redes - No me molestes mamá, estoy aprendiendo |date=2019-10-03 |url=https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/redes/redes-20-no-molestes-mama-estoy-aprendiendo/953666/ |access-date=2024-02-24 |language=es}}</ref> Musical programs such as [[Operacion Triunfo]], the [[Eurovision Song Contest]] and [[Junior Eurovision Song Contest]] are also broadcast on the channel.
