UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. β March 28, 2012 -- NBC will launch NBC Kids, a new Saturday morning programming block designed specifically to address the developmental needs of preschool-aged children, premiering on Saturday, July 7. Programmed by the kids experts at Sprout, the nation's first 24-hour preschool television channel, this new three-hour block will feature educational series that promote active, healthy lifestyles for younger children.
NBC Kids will include the U.S. broadcast premieres of quality, preschool series βThe Wiggles," Sproutβs βNoodle & Doodle,β Jim Henson's βPajanimals,β βPoppy Cat," βJustin Time,β as well as the popular βLazyTown,β designed to encourage healthy eating and exercise.
The announcement was made jointly by Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, and Sandy Wax, President of Sprout.
βNBC is proud to partner with Sprout in providing progressive new programming that will entertain and encourage children to achieve more positive life choices,β said Greenblatt. βThis is an ideal blend of entertaining shows that also offer promising benefits to the development of children on many levels.β
βProducing this new block for NBC will extend the reach of quality preschool programming beyond Sproutβs cable, VOD and digital platforms affording millions of families the opportunity to watch quality preschool series that promote active, healthy lifestyles,β said Wax.
NBC Entertainment develops and schedules programming for the networkβs primetime, late-night, and daytime schedules. NBCβs quality programs and balanced lineup have earned the network critical acclaim, numerous awards, and ratings success. NBC has earned more Emmy Awards than any network in television history.
