Sinclair To Launch 'KidsClick' Multiplatform Programming Block For Children

Yeah, last time we heard of it was the UK Jetix DVD's back in 2007-2008. Disney never did anything with RiD (never licensed a DVD or aired it on Toon Disney/ABC Family), only Jetix Europe did. Hasbro getting it in 2014 comes from Wikipedia, the same source that has claimed Bakugan aired on XD and the Unicron Trilogy was owned by Saban.
 
When someone on FB asked why Energon gets two slots on weekends, KidsClick said "You will see in the coming weeks". I guess now we know what they mean.
Why didn’t KidsClick consider getting Cyberverse? Cartoon Network decided to dump it at 6:30 A.M.!
 
1. KidsClick wouldn't afford a notable first-run show.

2. Companies will only choose the less popular network if it's their only option.
 
TBD is running what looks like an old lineup. That is unless they've changed out a few shows, but I can't tell. KTXL-TV offers no event information tables for 40.4 even to this day.
They are starting it with the Dinosaur King episode "Field of Screams".
 
Season 2 of Miraculous Ladybug has aired today!
It has the same audio pitch as the first season.
And as with the other new shows, it has aired with it's normal frame rate (24fps), and the action plays more fluid as a result.
 
Some Qubo and Universal Kids shows could air on KidsCLICK, because:
  • Qubo and Universal Kids are 24-hour digital-only subscription channels, while KidsCLICK is free.
  • KidsCLICK has no E/I programming (except Winx Club and The Jungle Book, but has no E/I bug on both shows)

Qubo is a free over the air network.

You know Qubo is free (xx.2) in areas where an Ion-owned channel operates, right?
 
Sinclair has also shown no interest in using KidsClick as a way to fulfill their E/I quotas. If they did, they would've ran Winx and The Jungle Book with the tag. Personally, I think the block is better without that burden.

TBD has one E/I show every day when KidsClick ends, which puts TBD over the minimum E/I quota by 30 minutes to begin with.
Also, how is Winx Club an E/I programme?

The fact that TBD is still carrying E/I programming independent of KidsClick should tell you having that stuff on the block isn't a priority.

As for Winx Club, 4Kids somehow got the show to qualify as E/I. Mind you, Disney used to get their Disney Channel sitcoms to count when ABC Kids was still a thing.
 
Also with the block airing on Sinclair's CW.My Network, Fox, and Indie stations they already have E/I covered. When This TV aired it they still aired Normal E/I programming to, so this block really wasn't made for E/I stuff.
That says something about the E/I guidelines generally.
It's fun to see the descriptions for E/I programming where they have to describe how it's educational and informational here's one for Hannah Montana :

And even then, ABC Kids started airing the same schedule for the next 5 years until it's time; KidsClick keeps changing theirs practically every day
 
Hmm, so today's airing of Miraculous Season 2 had both their opening and closing themes at low-pitch. The rest of the episode seems unaffected, as the tranformation themes, and the theme before the credits, played at their same pitch as last week's airing, and also Season 1.

Season 2 was also in PAL, imported from Europe or Korea. Then remastered to NTSC in North America.

According to my local Fox station's E/I description for Winx Club...

"Winx Club utilizes fairy castles, magical caverns and timeless villages as a backdrop for coming-of-age lessons, group problem-solving, cooperative investigations and the important social and emotional learning opportunities that children need to develop the valuable emotional competencies of resilience, empathy and self-confidence. In each episode, as a conflict arises, the fairies pool their unique capabilities to find a solution comprised of the sum total of their special talents. Life scenarios that commonly worry children, from feeling vulnerable and powerless to being lost or separated from loved ones, are enacted throughout the series and a variety of practical behavioral solutions are presented. Winx Club promotes the development of social skills, with actions such as speaking kindly to others, doing good for one's community, and managing anger appropriately, integrated into the show's humor. These social competencies are now considered legitimate and necessary objectives of school curricula. The program is regularly scheduled and airs between the hours of 7:00 am and 10:00 pm. The program is 30 minutes in length, and is identified as an educational and informational show, targeted to 6-11 year olds, at the beginning of each broadcast and in listings provided to publishers of program guides."

Also, unrelated note, my station also aired The Smurfs as E/I.

"The Smurfs introduces the 3 – 6-year-old television audience to a wide array of pro-social lessons. The series uses the narrative/educational device of a wise and patient elder who guides younger generations as they learn to deal with the complexities of interpersonal relations and with their own, sometimes quite confusing, feelings. Smurfs are tiny, blue creatures who inhabit a very magical forest, along with various wizards, imps, goblins, kings, knights, knaves … and others too numerous to mention. Each Smurf represents a particular character trait, usually encapsulated in his or her name: Brainy, Clumsy, Handy, Grouchy, Greedy, Jokey, Pushover, Vanity, Smurfette – a narrative device that helps young viewers understand some very abstract feelings and ideas. As the Smurfs confront the day-to-day events of Smurf community life, they encounter unexpected obstacles, unexpected issues, and unexpected feelings that may threaten their plans, their community, or their own self-image. We watch as Papa Smurf, the village elder, helps the younger ones figure out who they are and how they should behave, and strives to teach them the power of love and caring. Various individual episodes explore such issues as kindness, greed and sharing, fighting, perseverance, responsibility, humility, teasing, carelessness, expressing feelings, self-confidence, fears, perspective-taking, and so on… in other words, many of the same issues that any 3 – 6-year-old might encounter in the play-yard. But through all of the episodes, the overriding theme is one of love and caring. Although the Smurfs are very different from one another, and frequently seem to act at cross-proposes, Papa Smurf’s constant message is that if they love, care for, and respect one another, their community will function like a well-oiled … Smurfdom."

I remember the old DIC block that was in syndication it had Smurfs, Sherlock Holmes 21st Century , Inspector Gadget's field trip.. etc and they were all E/I apparently.

I just wish KidsClick would start using the E/I bug for The Jungle Book...

Today is my Birthday!
Today marks the 25th Year Anniversary of when Pokémon Crystal was released in North America. To this day, the Johto Games remain my favorite games in the Pokémon Franchise.
Today marks the 15th Year Anniversary of ThunderCats (2011). While I find it unfortunate that the show was canceled before it had a chance to finish its story, I am glad that the show's art director was willing to give fans closure via a podcast interview.
Okay, so I found out that Sailor Moon had meet and greets at Universal Studios back in May. It would have been so cool if we had that at the turn of the century. I have gotten hugs from a Sailor Moon and a Sailor Mars at a local con back in the 2010s and spent under $100 doing it, so I don't know if this is worth the splurge but I can see that these affluent geeky people are enjoying their Sailor Moon hugs.
The characters from Netflix's Mating Season apparently were born from the same deeps as the Warner Bros cartoon characters
