Kids' WB debuted on The WB, on Saturday, September 9, 1995, airing on Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. ET and weekday afternoons from 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

  • On September 7, 1996, the Saturday block was extended by a full hour, airing from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. ET.
  • On September 1, 1997, Kids' WB started airing weekday mornings from 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m., and the weekday afternoon block was extended to 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Although, on some stations, such as KTLA in Los Angeles, California, the weekday afternoon block was expanded into 3 hours from 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

  • On September 3, 2001, Kids' WB ceased airing weekday morning programming, and gave that slot to the local affiliates.
  • On January 2, 2006 the whole weekday block of Kids' WB was replaced, but the weekday-afternoon block got replaced by the new Daytime WB block. As a result, the Saturday morning block got an extra hour on January 7, 2006, and started to run from 7:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m., no longer affected by time zone "at the request of the local affiliates".

  • On October 2, 2007, the network announced that it was ending the Kids' WB block due to the effects of children's advertising limits and cable competition, as of September 2008, in a joint decision between Warner Bros. and CBS, parent companies of The CW. At that time, the programming time will be sold to 4Kids Entertainment. With this deal, in the 2008-2009 season, 4Kids will run two different Saturday morning blocks; their current 4Kids TV block on Fox, and The CW's children's programming block.[1]
