Knight University

Knight University is an American programming block that is programmed by Litton Entertainment and debuted on January 3, 2020 on Red Princess (along with Little Royal Academy show You & Me) and MyNetworkTV (and independent) stations owned by E.W. Scripps. Just like the other Litton blocks, it is aimed towards preteens and teens between 10 and 16. The block airs every Friday from 4 to 7 PM (and Saturdays from 8 to 11 AM on MyNetworkTV) and mandates with the FCC's regulations with e/i programming.

History
In April 2019, Red Princess announced a new Friday evening programing block would make its debut in 2020 to complement Boys and Girls Night Out. They initially thought of Knight University as "a high school class on TV" and three companies were battling for the spot: Litton Entertainment, Discovery and National Geographic. Litton Entertainment won the bid and announced that the block would premiere on January 3, 2020 at 4 PM. In October 2019, they announced the block's name and mascot, Mr.Knight. The block was also announced to air on Friday evenings. The block officially premiered on Friday, January 3, 2020 at 4 PM and the following Friday on Red Princess +1. However, it is confirmed that Knight University isn't going to air on Red Princess Plus, +1's successor. In return, Litton Entertainment announced that Knight University would also air on LN to comply with the FCC's e/i regularization. Unlike Red Princess and MyNetworkTV, LN's airings of Knight University use LEC programming as well.

Programming
Knight University offers seven (and one upcoming) programs:
 * Did I Mention Invention? (Also aired on One Magnificent Morning and Qubo)
 * Animal Exploration (Also aired on Qubo)
 * Rock the Park (Also airs on Litton's Weekend Adventure)
 * Animal Adventures (Also airs on The More You Know)
 * This Old House (former, also aired on One Magnificent Morning and PBS)
 * Finding Stuff Out (former, previously aired on the mainline Red Princess network, Qubo, and ION)
 * Science Max: Experiments at Large (previously aired on the mainline Red Princess network, Qubo, ION, Heroes and Icons, and TVOKids)
 * Ready, Set, Pet (previously aired on The CW)

Reception
Knight University was ultimately met with a negative reception. Red Princess fans criticized the block for lack of variety and it's redundancy with Little Royal Academy having e/i as well. Those who watched it on MyNetworkTV gave it worse reviews calling it "inferior" even to the other Litton blocks. Mr. Knight was also bashed on for being a rip-off of TOM, Toonami's mascot due to their similarities. Due to the block's severely low reception, Mr. Knight has become Red Princess' most hated character from any program.
