TCN Kids' Zone

TCN Kids' Zone was a children's programming block airing on TCN from September 28, 1998 to May 30, 2003.
== History ==
TCN Kids first launched on Monday, September 28, 1998, at 7 a.m. local time, with the inaugural program being The New Adventures of Superman. The block originally contained exclusively children's shows produced by American production company Filmation.
Beginning with the fall 2000 television season, the block rebranded as TCN Kids' Zone and began producing all-original programs. Previously, the only original show on the block was TCN Kids Classic Cartoon Showcase (which continued to air in reruns until 2010 under the title Classic Cartoons). 
From September 12 to September 17 of 2001, an extended version of the block was provided for affiliates to air as an alternative to national TCN News coverage, in an effort to distract kids from the New York City terrorist attacks. 
Compared to Kids' WB! and Fox Kids, the block performed poorly, and TCN dropped all original programs for the 2002 television season (which would be the last season the block was on the air), replacing them with the Filmation shows the network still had rights to.
The block officially came to an end on Friday, May 30, 2003. The final show was the 1986 series Ghostbusters. After the end of TCN Kids' Zone, TCN stopped supplying a block of kids programming to its affiliates, so local stations had to search for syndicated blocks to air (many chose the then-new DHX Kids Network).
