History
The channel was launched on 16 January 2009 as a joint venture between the Qatar Foundation (who owned 90% of the channel) and Al Jazeera Media Network (who owned the remaining 10%). Its on air look was designed by Radiant Studios, who also designed the new on air look for Al Jazeera Children's Channel that debuted the same day. In line with its launch, Baraem absorbed JCC's pre-school programming.
A European feed of both JCC and Baraem launched on 1 November 2012.
On 15 June 2013, it was announced that Al Jazeera would acquire the Qatar Foundation's assets to both JeemTV and Baraem.
On 1 April 2016, the channel was acquired by beIN Channels Network alongside JeemTV.
On 1 January 2017, the channel received a rebrand to coincide with its 8th anniversary. This time the new look was designed in-house.
Broadcast
Ever since launch, the channel broadcasts 17 hours a day, from 6:00 to 22:30 (GMT+3).
In September 2011, the channel started broadcasting in 16:9 aspect ratio.
From 2009 until 1 April 2016, the channel was free to view on Nilesat, Arabsat, Hot Bird, and Eurobird, and since then it was exclusive to beIN Channels Network and it closed in part of North Africa and Europe. However the Hot Bird feed remained free to view until 1 June 2018.
Baraem is broadcast mainly in Qatar, but also have feeds in South Africa and most of Africa, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, and Syria. They also have a feed in the United States that is an Xfinity-exclusive via Flex.
