Cancellation Bbc Select: Easy Method
What is Bbc Select
BBC Select is a streaming channel that offers documentary and factual programming, available in Canada through services such as Amazon Prime Video Channels and the Apple TV app. It provides access to curated BBC documentary titles for a monthly subscription fee.
How to cancel Bbc Select
- Apple App Store / Apple TV app - Open the Settings app on your iPhone/iPad or go to the Apple TV app on your device. Tap your Apple ID (or go to your account) → Subscriptions → find "BBC Select" → Cancel Subscription. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription; you must cancel via your Apple ID subscriptions.
- Google Play Store (Android) - Open the Google Play Store → tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → select "BBC Select" (or the BBC app/channel) → Cancel subscription. Access generally continues until the end of the paid period.
- Web / BBC.com (where applicable) - Sign in at the BBC Select site or bbc.com account area → Your Account or Settings → Manage Subscription → Cancel. If you signed up directly on the web, cancel there to stop future renewals.
- Amazon Prime Video Channels - Go to Prime Video → Account & Settings → Channels & subscriptions (or Manage Your Subscriptions) → find BBC Select → Cancel channel subscription. Prime Video channel subscriptions are managed inside your Amazon account.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel BBC Select through the platform that billed you, your subscription will typically remain active until the end of the current billing period - you will retain access to content until that date. Cancellation prevents future automatic renewals but does not usually remove already-paid access immediately. Your account and viewing history are generally retained by the service according to that provider’s data and account policies.
Will I get a refund?
BBC Select’s consumer-facing pages for Canada do not state an explicit refund policy. Refunds for subscriptions purchased through app platforms are normally governed by the platform’s own refund policies (Apple, Google, Amazon). If you cancel during a free trial before it ends, you should not be charged. For billed periods, refunds are not guaranteed - you must request a refund through the platform that processed the payment (Apple/Google/Amazon). If a platform denies a refund and you believe a charge is incorrect, consider contacting your payment provider for options such as a dispute or chargeback, keeping in mind these are separate processes from BBC Select.
Bbc Select plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| BBC Select (Canada) - Monthly | C$6.99 | Monthly | Full access to BBC Select documentaries via the service |
Your consumer rights in Canada
BBC Select’s site does not set out specific statutory consumer-rights details for Canada. In general, Canadian consumer-protection rules vary by province and by the nature of the purchase; there is no universal federal 14‑day “cooling-off” right that automatically applies to digital content accessed immediately. For subscriptions purchased through app stores or marketplaces, refunds and cancellation rights are generally governed by those platform policies rather than BBC Select’s site. If you believe a charge breaches local consumer protection law, contact your provincial consumer protection office or your payment provider for guidance.
Customer experiences
Public reviews and reports show mixed sentiment. Some users report difficulty locating the cancel option when subscriptions were billed through Apple, and there are complaints about refund denials. There are also broader negative comments about perceived bias and content quality directed at the brand in some reviews. The verified data does not include documented positive user reviews specific to BBC Select Canada; platform experiences appear to vary depending on how the subscription was purchased.
Documentation checklist
- Account email or username used for the subscription
- Order confirmation or receipt showing the BBC Select charge (screenshot or PDF)
- Date you started the subscription and the next renewal date
- Which platform billed you (Apple ID, Google account, Amazon/Prime Video, or BBC website)
- Screenshots of subscription settings showing the subscription entry and billing
Common mistakes
Users commonly delete the BBC Select app thinking that removes the subscription - deleting the app does not cancel billing. Another frequent error is attempting to cancel in the wrong place (for example, on the BBC site when the charge came through Apple or Amazon). Expecting an automatic refund after cancellation is also a common misunderstanding; refunds depend on platform rules and timing. If you have multiple Apple/Google/Amazon accounts or family-shared purchases, make sure you are signed into the account that was billed.

|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store / Apple TV app | Refunds handled via Apple’s refund process; BBC Select pages do not promise refunds | Medium to High (some users report difficulty locating cancel/refund options) |

| Amazon Prime Video Channels | Refunds handled via Amazon; channel management and refund requests go through Amazon | Low to Medium |
After cancelling
After you cancel, keep a copy of the cancellation confirmation or screenshot showing the subscription status as cancelled and note the date when access ends. If you need a refund or a dispute, submit your request to the platform that billed you (Apple, Google, Amazon) and include receipts and cancellation proof.
