What happens

NBC Kids was an American Weekend morning children's television programming block that aired on NBC from July 7, 2012 to September 25, 2016. Telemundo also aired a version of the block under the "MiTelemundo" title, which featured a separate lineup of Spanish-dubbed programs until December 31, 2017. NBC Kids, which replaced the Qubo block (as a result of NBCUniversal withdrawing the joint venture, which also included Ion Media Networks), was programmed by the Sprout preschool cable network, as they were both targeted at children ages 2 to 6. The three-hour block featured educational entertainment series for younger children, which met programming requirements defined by the FCC's Children's Television Act, and is the first block to air in high definition by NBC completing its conversion to the quality. The block came to an end on September 25, 2016, and was replaced the following week with a live-action E/I block from Litton Entertainment named The More You Know (named inspired by its public service announcement campaign), marking the end of traditional Saturday morning children's programming on broadcast television.
