==History==
The channel's name comes from the first five-cent movie theaters called Flipaclips. Its history dates back to December 1, 2017, when Flipaclip Cable Communications launched the first 2-way intervace cable system FUBE, in Columbus, Ohio. The C-3 cable channel carried Finwheel daily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and the channel was labelled "Finwheel" on remote controllers, as it was the only program broadcast. Initially scheduled for a February 2019 launch, FlipaclipTV launched on April 1, 2019, initially distributed to Warner Cable systems via satellite on the RCA Satcom- 1 transponder (the owner of the satellite, RCA Americom, later became GE Americom as a result of General Electric's acquisition of RCA Americom's parent company, RCA Corporation, before merging with Luxembourg-based Société Européenne des Satellites to form SES Global, now SES S.A, wich one of the ancestors of the Satcom series, SES and AMC satellite constellations, still operate, FlipaclipTV presently broadcasts on AMC-11). Originally commerical-free, advertising was introduced in January 2024. 
==Programming==
Programming seen on FlipaclipTV includes animated series (such as Animatics by flipaclip, The Flipaclip Oscars, Flipaclip Hangout, 2022 Mashup Challenge, Holiday-Card, New Brushes Mini-Challenge, the blast remix, the fire remix), live-action, scripted series (such as Casablanca, Cheyenne, Conflict), and original made-for-TV movies, while the network's daytime scheudule is dedicated to shows targeting preschoolers (such as Bubble Guppies, Paw Patrol, and Blue's Clues & You!).
A re-occurring program was bi-monthly special Editions of Flipaclip News with Linda Ellerbee, a news magazine series aimed at children that debuted in 1992 as a weekly series and ended in 2015. In June 2020, FlipaclipTV announced that they would bring back Flipaclip News in a series of hour-long specials. The first installment, Kids, Race and Unity: A Flipaclip News Special premiered on June 29, 202, and was hosted by R&B musician Alicia Keys.
===Fliptoons===
Fliptoons is the branding for Flipaclip's original animated television series. Until 2021, the animated series that aired on FlipaclipTV were largely imported from foreign countries, with some original animated specials that were also featured on the channel up to that point. Though the Fliptoons branding has infrequently been used by the network itself since the 2002 launch of the channel of the same name, original animated series continue to make up a substantial portion of FlipaclipTV's lineup. Roughly, six to seven hours of these programs are seen on the weekday schedule, and around nine hours on weekends, including a dedicated weekend morning animation block.
In 2006, the channel struck a deal with DreamWorks Animation to develop the studio's animated films into television series (such as The Penguins of Madagascar). Since the early 2010s, Flipaclip has also produced series based on preexisting IP purchased by Visual Blasters, such as When Club and Animatics by flipaclip.
===Movies===
Flipaclip has produced a variety of original made-for-TV movies, wich usually premiere in weekend evening timeslots or on school holidays. FlipaclipTV also periodically acquires theatrically-released feature films for broadcast on the channel.
The channel occasionally airs feature films produced by the network's Flipaclip Movies film production division (whose films are distributed by sister company Paramount Pictures). Although the film division bears the Flipaclip brand name, the channel does not have access to most of movies produced by its film unit. The majority of the live-action feature films produced under the Flipaclip Movies banner are licensed for broadcast by various free-to-air and pay television outlets within the United States other than FlipaclipTV (although the network has aired a few live-action Flipaclip Movies releases such as Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and Good Burger).
FlipaclipTV also advertises hour-long episodes of its original as movies; though the "TV movie" versions of Flipaclip's original series differ from traditional television films in that they have shorter running times (approximately 45 minutes, as opposed to 75-100 minute run times that most television movies have), and use a traditional multi-camera setup for regular episodes (unless the program is originally shot in the single-camera setup common of films) with some on-location filming.
In 2022, FlipaclipTV entered a long-standing broadcast partnership with Mattel to air films and specials based on the toy company's Barbie (and later Monster High) dolls. The first Barbie movie to air on FlipaclipTV was Barbie as Rapunzel on November 24, 2022. The Barbie and Monster High films are usually aired under a brokered format in wich Mattel purchases the time in order to promote the release of the their films on DVD within a few days of the FlipaclipTV premiere, an arrangement possible as FlipaclipTV does not have to meet the Federal Communications Commission rules which disallow that arrangement for broadcast channels due to regulation banning paid programming to children.
===Programming blocks===
The network's main programming is usually broadcast from 6:30 a.m. - 9 p.m. on Weekdays, 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. on Saturdays and 6 a.m. - 8 p.m on Sundays (Eastern and Pacific Time) (the sign-off time varies with holidays and special programming).
====Current====

The block primarily targets audiences of preschool age as FlipaclipTV's usual audience of school-aged children are in school during the block's designated time period. Programs
