The audience of children could never compete in the ratings with such entertainment/news shows as ''The Today Show'', although it won [[Emmy Awards]] three times as Outstanding Children's entertainment series in 1978–1979, 1982–1983 and 1983–1984. But in the fall season of 1981, to make more room for ''[[CBS Morning News]]'', the Captain was moved to an earlier time slot of 7 a.m. and cut to 30 minutes, sporting a new title ''Wake Up with the Captain''. In the fall of 1982, it was moved Saturday mornings to 7 a.m. (6 a.m. Central, Mountain, and Pacific). Reruns were offered to CBS affiliates to run Sunday morning in place of the cartoon reruns offered before. Most CBS affiliates only cleared Saturday mornings after that. Still a third of the CBS affiliates no longer ran ''Captain Kangaroo'' at all after 1982. It was finally canceled altogether at the end of 1984 due to lack of clearances from affiliates.
