Thought CBS had the Nick on CBS block earlier than 2004. I do remember The Wild Thornberrys and Hey Arnold! on Saturday mornings in the early days. There were also preschool shows like Dora and [later on] Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Kids.

I won't be watching Saturday morning cartoons until they get rid of those awful cheap produced E/I programs.
I feel your pain... but as long as broadcast stations are obligated to air three hours per week, and couldn't care less about airing children's fare in the 21st century, such "cheap E/I" programming will be what will be entirely available in that category. |

If my children are watching Saturday morning cartoons, they're watching them on one of the Nick channels or Disney channels. We don't even look on any of the broadcast channels (except PBS Kids on the local PBS channels) for cartoons.

My daughter is 9 now, and usually watching Phineas and Ferb on Disney, or Spongebob or The Fairly Odd Parents on Nick, regardless of what day it is.

In 2012, why can't every program aired on a Saturday morning be in HD, or at the least, high quality standard def? Again, I turned on this block and it turned out part of the block was in widescreen, but instead of having any sense, NBC kept the whole screen in the 4:3 space and had it windowboxed and letterboxed.
This may have been just my station though (which is terrible about how they present tape-delayed programming), though I suspect it did air live after the Tour at 11am CT. Come on NBC! Even Sopresa, a Spanish only kids network, puts in effort into their schedule. Do it right or just give them time to the affiliates so they can air their nine year-old Alex Paen programs.

I tuned in for a moment, and it was in HD here (KNVN).

I find it really weird that NBC would air a "PBS" Kids Sprout programming block, since PBS is a completely different network. How could they even do this?

Comcast, NBC's new parent company, owns a stake in Sprout, along with PBS (of course), Sesame Workshop and Apax Partners (a British venture capital firm). |

Here's an idea in regard to Qubo: Why not have ION and My Network TV air Qubo concurrently? After all, it wouldn't be the first time the two networks shared programming since 60% of MyNet's primetime schedule also airs on ION...
Gannett would NEVER go for this (Especially if they're stuck moving the Saturday Morning news over from NBC affiliate KUSA 9 to accomondate the aforementioned NBC Kids block) If they do go for it, they would most assuredly time shift it whereas it airs after the local news Cheers & 73  |
