Sinclair To Launch 'KidsClick' Multiplatform Programming Block For Children

[Takao]

I don't think Scary Larry is permanently gone. They keep running Pac-Man Christmas episodes in its slot, so it's probably just for the month of December.

The Live stream is up on the site, but seems to be a looping 3-second video. Looks like they aren't ready to do live video, yet.

It looks like the weekend schedule change might be permanent

They just posted this:



But they also said that new shows will be coming in the new year here:



I don't know if those shows would be coming sooner rather than later. I do think that's an encouraging sign for the block though!

And they also replied to a comment on the facebook page about Season 2 of Miraculous and said that they're "planning on getting it soon."

I remember how Miraculous Ladybug was supposed to come on Netflix this December after several delays, but now it’s been pushed back to spring of next year! Meanwhile new episodes are rolling out all over European networks.
I guess in the States it’s now a wait to see if the second season will drop on Netflix or air on Kidsclick first.

You'll have to forgive me, I'm playing catch up on this "Kidsclick" concept...

But the only thing that distinguishes Kidsclick from "Vortexx/Toonzai/CW for Kids/Fox Box/Fox Kids/Kids WB" is...

a) Kidsclick is relying 100% on reruns of shows made for other networks (instead of producing it's own material) and b) This isn't airing on Fox or The CW (or ABC/NBC/CBS)...from what I can tell, it's only airing on something called "This TV" (which is an "over the air" antenna channel, so not the same as cable, but not the same as Fox or The CW/Kids WB)...

Right?

Even in the later days of Toonzai/Vortexx, those blocks were producing their own shows, weren't they?

This isn't airing on Fox or The CW

Technically it IS airing on some Sinclair-owned Fox and CW stations as well as a few MyNetworkTV stations.

Oh, really? Hmm, that's why I'm missing out on this...

So back in the day when Toonzai and the Vortexx was on the air, were those children's blocks on ALL "CW" channels, or on only select ones (like "Kidsclick" is)...

This is the only info I can find:

WTVW in Evansville, Indiana (which hurriedly joined The CW on January 31, 2013 due to the market's former affiliate going dark) was unable to schedule the block when it initially began its affiliation with the network, due to contractual obligations to paid programming slots and existing syndicated E/I programming on Saturday mornings through March 2013. The station began carrying Vortexx in its network-recommended timeslot on April 6, 2013, with the station's acquired E/I programming moving to Sunday afternoons.

Is there a chance KidsClick would air Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 in 2018?

The live stream works, but it's only live during the block's hours in a random time zone lol.

I managed to screen cap their holiday branding:

The time zone doesn't look to be pacific, that's for sure.

Well...if they plan on acquiring more shows in 2018, that must be a good sign.

I just hope said shows are good.

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

^Like what?

 

[homeofthebadguys]

^Like what?

it might be Sonic X or Transformers Prime, if any of the promotions were to go by.

 

[Micahel Cataldo]

^What about other Hot Wheels shows?

That's possible, too. Keep in mind Mattel is in a rather bad spot with sales and doesn't have that many shows to run.
There's like 4 shows that I know of that Mattel has made as of launching Mattel Playground. Sinclair's currently running two of the four known.

Mattel has invested a lot in short form programming, they could try to compile those shorts to fit a 15 minute program, or maybe interstitials.
If Mattel wants to invest in new programming to turn the tide for sales by making a show for TV, they can do much better than KidsClick, unless they’re truly desperate.

MOD NOTE: I have deleted several posts that are straying too far off topic and which are proving disruptive.

Please keep discussion on topic.

Don't know if anyone cares, but the second season of Winx started on Monday. Still the Cinelume dub.
