In September 1998, CBS began contracting out to other companies to provide programming and material for their Saturday morning schedule. The first of these special blocks was ''[[CBS Kidshow]]'', which featured programming from Canada's [[Nelvana]] studio.<ref name="Nick Jr. on CBS">{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117782661.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&query=|title=CBS picks Nick mix|date=June 15, 2000|work=Variety|accessdate=August 13, 2009 | first=Michael | last=Schneider}}</ref> It aired on CBS Saturday mornings from 1998 to 2000, with shows like ''[[Anatole (TV series)|Anatole]]'', ''[[Mythic Warriors]],'' ''[[Rescue Heroes]]'', and ''[[Flying Rhino Junior High]]''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117489638.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&query=|title=CTV pacts for 3 Nelvana series|date=December 22, 1998|work=Variety|accessdate=August 13, 2009 | first=Brendan | last=Kelly}}</ref> In January 1999, ''[[Franklin (TV series)|Franklin]]'' (on the CBS line-up) and ''Rupert'' (a part of [[Nick Jr. (block)|Nick Jr.]] since 1991) swapped networks.<ref>Adalian, Joseph (1998, December 14).

Line 75:

All programming during the block, as is standard for Saturday morning network programming, was labeled as meeting [[E/I]] requirements, as tenuous as some of the claims of educational content may have been. This is part of the reason why some of Nickelodeon's most popular programs (most notably ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'') did not appear on the block, even during the more open-formatted ''Nick on CBS'' era.

At the beginning of New Year's Eve 2005, Viacom was split into two different companies, with [[CBS Corporation]] becoming its own standalone company and Nickelodeon going to the [[Viacom|new Viacom]]. ''Nick Jr. on CBS'' ended on September 9, 2006 and was replaced by ''[[Cookie Jar TV|KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS]]'' on September 16, 2006, as part of a multi-year partnership between [[CBS]] and [[DIC Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117936466.html?categoryid=1050&cs=1&query=|title=Synergy not kid-friendly at Eye web|work=Variety|date=January 19, 2006|accessdate=2009-08-13 | first=Elizabeth | last=Guider}}</ref> (now [[Cookie Jar Group|Cookie Jar Entertainment]])

===''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS'' (2006-2007)===

In 2006, after the Viacom-CBS split (as described above), CBS decided to discontinue the Nick Jr. lineup in favor of a lineup of programs produced by [[DIC Entertainment]] and later, the [[Cookie Jar Group]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |title=Cookie Jar and Dic Entertainment to Merge, Creating independent global children's entertainment and education powerhouse|work=Cookie Jar Group |date=June 20, 2008|accessdate=December 23, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |title=COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS BRAND PORTFOLIO, TALENT AND GLOBAL REACH WITH CLOSING OF DIC TRANSACTION |work=Cookie Jar Group |date=July 23, 2008 |accessdate=December 23, 2008}}</ref> as part of a three-year deal which includes distribution of selected Formula One auto races on tape delay.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.worldscreen.com/newscurrent.php?filename=dic30706.htm|title=World Screen – Home<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117936466.html?categoryid=1050&cs=1&query=|title=Synergy not kid-friendly at Eye web|work=Variety|date=January 19, 2006|accessdate=August 13, 2009 | first=Elizabeth | last=Guider}}</ref> ''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS'' premiered in September of that year; in the inaugural line-up, two of the programs were new shows, one aired in syndication in 2005 and three were pre-2006 shows.

After the announcement of the CBS/DIC partnership, the latter announced programming block was originally going to be called CBS's Secret Saturday Morning Slumber Party (or ''CBS’s Saturday Morning Secret Slumber Party''), but was later renamed '''''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS''''' after DIC, who produced all of the children's programming for the block, partnered with KOL, the children's area of [[AOL]], which co-produced programming with DIC. AOL managed the programming block's website, and produced [[public service announcement]]s which aired both on television and online<ref>[http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002725721 DIC, KOL to Produce on CBS], ''Mediaweek'', June 21, 2006</ref> This alliance was what led to the name change for this block, and also because some of the programs were airing on Sundays (depending on the market).
