Telemundo also aired a version of the block under the "MiTelemundo" title, which featured a separate lineup of Spanish-dubbed programs until December 31, 2017.
NBC Kids, which replaced the Qubo block (as a result of NBCUniversal dropping out of the joint venture, which also included Ion Media Networks), was programmed by the other Sprout preschool cable network, as they were both targeted at children ages 2 to 6.
[2][3] The block came to an end on September 25, 2016 on NBC (December 31, 2017 on Telemundo), and was replaced the following week with a live-action E/I block from Litton Entertainment titled The More You Know, marking the end of traditional Saturday morning children's animated and live-action programming - educational or otherwise - on broadcast television until KidsClick followed up in July 2017.
[7] On February 24, 2016, NBCUniversal announced that it had entered into a programming agreement with Litton Entertainment to launch a new Saturday morning E/I block replacing NBC Kids.
The move came as part of a shift by broadcast television networks towards using their Saturday morning lineup solely to comply with the educational programming requirements mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), along with the cultural shift towards cable and online video on demand viewing of children's and animated programming.
