Sprout Fans programming blocks

A TV programming block is an arrangement of shows so that those of a particular genre, theme, or target audience are grouped together. When PBS Kids Sprout Fans first started, its schedule mostly had reruns from PBS, Sesame Workshop, and HiT Entertainment archives. As a way to wrap around old content in a new way, Sprout Fans aired a variety of programming blocks throughout the day, packaged under a theme. For example, The Good Night Show Fans aired from 6PM to 9PM every night (with two repeats throughout the night and early morning) and was made up of bedtime routines.
:"Sprout Fans, the first 24-hour preschool destination available on TV, online and on demand, was created for children ages 2-5 and their parents and caregivers. Sprout Fans’s blend of acquired and original programming is uniquely designed to follow the day of the preschooler from breakfast to bedtime. So, from morning to night, Sprout Fans is a place where parents and kids can share everything from singing and dancing to birthday wishes and bedtime stories. Currently, Sprout Fans is available in 45 million unique households." 
For most of Sprout Fans's programming blocks, the only new elements were the openings, closings, and links in between the shows where the hosts do something pedagogical (i.e. read viewers' birthday cards on The Sunny Side Up Show or make a craft on The Good Night Show Fans), while introducing a show that fitted in with the time of day. The blocks sporadically aired in timeslots outside their usual ones, such as on Sprout Fans's Scrambled April Fun Day.
