Telemundo Kids

Telemundo Kids is a former American children's programming block that aired on Telemundo from October 6, 2001, to September 3, 2006. The three-hour Saturday and Sunday morning block, which borrowed its name from Telemundo's 1995-1998 Saturday morning block Telemundo Infantil (in English, Telemundo Kids), targeted children between the ages of 2 and 14 with a mix of live-action and animated series from various production companies and distributors. It was controlled by Telemundo Network Group, LLC, a unit of NBCUniversal.

All programs that were E/I compliant that met educational programming requirements defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) via the Children's Television Act.

History
In October 2001, the weekend morning Telemundo Kids blocks made their debut, after Nickelodeon en Telemundo was discontinued on September 30, 2001. The block was divided across Sábados de Fantasía ("Fantasy Saturdays") and Domingos de Aventura ("Adventure Sundays"). The block aired shows from various production companies and distributors. One of the programs that was shown was Digimon Adventure, in which Digimon was moved to the Telemundo block from the now-defunct De Cabaza! from competing network Univision, which was replaced by Planeta U the month prior.

On September 18, 2004, Nickelodeon-produced shows returned to Telemundo for the first time in nearly 3 years, including Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, The Alpha Squad, and Dora the Explorer, and All Grown Up!.

Transition to Qubo
In February 2006, CBS/Viacom became separated from each other which resulted into it's sister block on competing English network CBS by September that year; in May of that year, NBC and Ion Media Networks unveiled a joint venture with Canada-based Corus Entertainment, Scholastic and Classic Media known as Qubo, which would aim to provide educational programming aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 8. Telemundo Kids aired for the final time on September 3, 2006. By the following week, "Qubo on Telemundo" debuted.

Programming
Although the Telemundo Kids block regularly aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings, affiliates in some parts of the country deferred certain programs within the lineup to Sunday morning timeslots to accommodate locally produced programs (such as weekend morning newscasts) or due to scheduling issues with regional or network sports broadcasts that start in time periods normally occupied by the block.
