From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick on CBS
was a Saturday morning children's programming block for
CBS
that began on September 16, 2000,
[1]
replacing
CBS Kidshow
. This
Saturday morning
block presented programming from
Nick Jr.
, which at a time shared common ownership with CBS under Viacom. When the block first properly aired, it was hosted by
Face from Nick Jr.
On September 14, 2002,
Nick Jr. on CBS
was re-branded as
Nick on CBS
, and airing both
Nickelodeon
and Nick Jr. shows. The Nickelodeon shows were removed in
2005
in favor for a return to an exclusively-Nick Jr. block. The block's continuity was provided by
segments
featuring Piper O'Possum.
At the beginning of New Year's Eve 2005, Viacom split into two different companies, with
CBS Corporation
becoming its own standalone company and Nickelodeon going to new Viacom.
Nick Jr. on CBS
ended on September 9, 2006 and was replaced by
KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS
on September 16, 2006, as part of a multi-year partnership between
CBS
and
Cookie Jar Entertainment
.
All programming during the block, as is standard for Saturday morning network programming, was labelled as meeting E/I requirements, as tennous as some of the claims of educational content may have been. This is part of the reason why some of Nickelodeon's most popular programs (most notably
SpongeBob SquarePants
and
The Fairly OddParents
) did not appear on the block, even during the more open-formatted
Nick on CBS
era.
- Nick Jr. is Just for Me! (2000-2002)
