"UPN Kids" was part of the weekday's & weekend's children portion of the UPN's programming.

History

When UPN launched in 1995, it aired cartoons on weekends; the lineup was known as UPN Kids. During the 1998-1999 season, the block was called The UPN Kids Action Zone.

Live-action programming

In 1997, UPN went a different way with its children's program block by airing new epsiodes as well as reruns of the syndicated "Sweet Valley High" and a new series, "Breaker High" on weekdays and weekends aiming the programs at teenagers.

Differences between UPN and other networks

As opposed to ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, UPN aired the weekend children's program block on Sunday, and weekday mornings instead of Saturdays.

Demise

In 1999, UPN made a deal with The Walt Disney Company to air Disney programming on weekdays and Sunday mornings. The new lineup, a sister block to Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC, would be called "Disney's One Too"
