The Children's Metro Network

The Children's Metro Network was an attempt by DiC Entertainment and Pine Tree Syndicators to create another children's network. It existed between 1993 and 1999. Their affiliates were unique for having five letters in their call signs. In 1999, The Children's Metro Network was replaced by a cable and satellite television channel called The DiC Network (later called The Cookie Jar Network and The DHX Network, now called The WildBrain Network).
After the network's replacement, all of the stations went on to have different affiliations.
== History ==
The network originated in 1992 when DiC and Pine Tree made an agreement to start the network, with Pine Tree providing programs from their Squirrel/Mole Studios banner, which used characters licensed from Hanna-Barbara. The first broadcasts of the CMN occured in August of that year during the overnight hours on then-PBS member station KTXH.
In 1993, the network officially launched, and had a number of affiliates, all with five-letter callsigns.
