{{main|Discovery Kids on NBC}}
On January 6, 2002, NBC entered into an agreement with [[Discovery Communications]], in which it would produce a new Saturday morning block for the network featuring original programs from the [[Discovery Kids]] cable channel under a time-lease agreement to provide programming compliant with the FCC's educational programming guidelines to NBC's affiliates, rather than having any network input or production.<ref>{{cite web|title=Discovery Kids sets NBC sked|url=https://variety.com/2002/tv/news/discovery-kids-sets-nbc-sked-1117864789/|first=Lily|last=Oei|periodical=Variety|publisher=Reed Business Information|date=April 2, 2002|access-date=March 29, 2015}}</ref><ref name="NBC Discovery">{{cite web|title=Discovery Gets NBC Kids' Block|url=http://www.multichannel.com/news/orphan-articles/discovery-gets-nbc-kids-block/154693|last=Umstead|first=Thomas|periodical=[[Multichannel News]]|date=December 7, 2001|access-date=March 29, 2015}}</ref> The block, branded "[[Discovery Kids on NBC]]", premiered on October 5, 2002.<ref name="DiscoveryKids"/> Originally, the lineup consisted of only live-action series featuring a mix of new series and existing Discovery Kids programs including ''[[Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls]]'' (a spin-off of the [[TLC (TV network)|TLC]] home renovation reality show ''[[Trading Spaces]]'') and the reality game show ''[[Endurance (TV series)|Endurance]]'' (a ''[[Survivor (TV series)|Survivor]]''-style series created and executive produced by host [[J.

[[File:Qubo
In May 2006, [[NBCUniversal]] and [[Ion Media Networks]] announced plans to form [[Qubo]], a joint venture in conjunction with [[Scholastic Corporation]], [[Classic Media]] and Canada-based [[Corus Entertainment]]'s animation subsidiary [[Nelvana]]. The multi-platform programming endeavor, aimed at children between 4 and 8 years of age, would comprise children's program blocks airing on NBC, Spanish-language sister network [[Telemundo]] and Ion Media's i: Independent Television (now [[Ion Television]]), as well as a 24-hour [[digital subchannel|digital multicast channel]] on i's [[owned-and-operated station]]s (alternatively known as Qubo Channel), [[video on demand]] services and a branded website. The reasoning why the name "qubo" was chosen for the endeavor, or why its logo is a cube, has never been publicly
The new "Qubo on NBC" block premiered on September 9, 2006, featuring six programs in its initial season: ''[[VeggieTales]]'', ''[[3-2-1 Penguins!]]'', ''[[Dragon (TV series)|Dragon]]'', ''[[Babar (TV series)|Babar]]'', ''[[Jane and the Dragon (TV series)|Jane and the Dragon]]'', and ''[[Jacob Two-Two (TV series)|Jacob Two-Two]]''. Initially, ''VeggieTales'' episodes aired on the block excised religious content originally incorporated before and after the main feature in the [[home video]] releases. This drew criticism for the block and NBC in particular from the conservative watchdog group [[Parents Television Council]], as well as ''VeggieTales'' co-creator [[Phil Vischer]], who claimed that he was unaware of the intent to edit out the religious material when Qubo acquired the

On March 28, 2012, NBC announced that the three-hour children's programming time period allocated by the network on Weekend mornings would be taken over by [[Sprout (TV network)|Sprout]] (which had become a sister television property to NBC following parent company NBCUniversal's 2010 majority purchase by [[Comcast]]; NBC later took full ownership of the network, whose owners previously included [[Sesame Workshop]] and [[HIT Entertainment]]) and launch a new Weekend morning block called [[NBC Kids]], which is aimed at preschoolers and grade school-aged children ages 2 to 9. A similarly programmed block would also launch on Telemundo under the name MiTelemundo.<ref name="Weisman">{{cite news|title=NBC to launch Saturday kids block|url=https://variety.com/2012/tv/news/nbc-to-launch-saturday-kids-block-1118052022/|first=Jon|last=Weisman|periodical=Variety|publisher=[[PMC (company)|Penske Media Corporation]]|date=March 28, 2012|access-date=March 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120519174046/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118052022?refCatId=14|archive-date=May 19, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Rubino">{{cite news|title=NBC, With Assist From Sprout, to Launch Saturday Morning Preschool Block|url=http://www.multichannel.com/article/482478-NBC_With_Assist_From_Sprout_to_Launch_Saturday_Morning_Preschool_Block.php|first=Lindsay|last=Rubino|periodical=Multichannel News|date=March 28, 2012|access-date=March 27, 2015}}</ref>
NBC Kids debuted on July 7, 2012, one week after the Qubo block ended its run on NBC on June 30,
Between both 2014 and 2015, several [[PBS Kids]] programs were being removed from both the block and the Sprout Channel due to PBS quitting the channel and continuing with its own children's programming separately. Then on both February 24, 2016 and March 1, 2016, NBC announced that NBC Kids would shut down and succeeded on October 8, 2016, by [[The More You Know (TV programming block)|The More You Know]], a block produced by [[Litton Entertainment]] that would feature live-action documentary and lifestyle programs aimed at
