==Nickelodeon en Telemundo==
===1998–2001===
On September 15, 1998, Telemundo entered into a programming agreement with Nickelodeon to carry the cable channel's programming as part of a morning children's program block, "Nickelodeon en Telemundo" ("Nickelodeon on Telemundo"). The block, which debuted on November 9, 1998 and was considered a sub-block of Telemundo Infantil, consisted of Spanish dubs of Nickelodeon's animated series aimed at older children and preschool-oriented programs aired by the channel's Nick Jr. block (such as Rugrats, Doug, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Blue's Clues and Dora the Explorer). The block ran on weekday mornings until September 5, 2000, when it was relegated to Saturday and Sunday mornings in order to make room for Hoy En El Mundo ("Today in the World" or "In the World Today"). Nickelodeon's contract with Telemundo ended in November 2001, following the network's acquisition by NBC; Rugrats (Joined by All Grown Up!), Dora the Explorer and Hey Arnold! continued to be aired sporadically for a few years afterward beginning September 18, 2004.
==Telemundo Kids==
===2001–2006===
After Nickelodeon en Telemundo was discontinued, Telemundo eventually launched a weekend morning block that turned out to be a revival of the "Telemundo Kids” block debuted on October 6, 2001 until September 3, 2006, but branded differently from the block, Telemundo Infantil from 1995 to 1998. The block consisted of Spanish dubs of various Sony Pictures Television and later Nickelodeon (although, as aforesaid, the network's Telemundo programming contract ended after the NBC acquisition) and Canadian shows including Jackie Chan Adventures, Dragon Tales, Men in Black: The Series, Max Steel, Dragon Ball Z, Nico, Toonimals, Nini's Treehouse, Agua Viva, Bizbirije, Las Tres Mellizas, Juana la Iguana, Monster by Mistake, Wimzie's House, Rugrats, All Grown Up!, Hey Arnold!, Dora the Explorer and Jacob Two-Two. Following the sale of Telemundo to NBC in 2001 and the CBS/Viacom split in early 2006, the block was discontinued September 3, 2006. However, Jacob Two-Two carried over to the block’s direct successor Qubo, which premiered the following week.

===2006–2012 ===
In May 2006, NBCUniversal and Ion Media Networks announced plans to form Qubo, a joint venture in conjunction with Corus Entertainment, Scholastic Corporation, Classic Media and its subsidiary Big Idea Entertainment. The multi-platform programming endeavor, aimed at children between 4 and 8 years of age, would comprise children's program blocks airing on NBC, Telemundo, and i: Independent Television (now Ion Television), as well as a 24-hour digital multicast channel on Ion Media's owned-and-operated stations (alternatively known as Qubo Channel), video-on-demand services, and a branded website. This block was launched on September 9, 2006. This block ceased broadcasting on June 30, 2012 for NBC, and July 1 of that year for Telemundo, being replaced by NBC Kids and MiTelemundo the following Saturday, leaving Ion Television as the only network to retain a Qubo-branded children's block up until the closure of Qubo Channel on February 28, 2021, as the E.W. Scripps Company is now the owner of Ion Media, which they acquired on January 7, 2021.
==MiTelemundo==
===2012–2018===
On March 28, 2012, NBCUniversal announced an agreement with sister cable channel PBS Kids Sprout (now Universal Kids, which was integrated into NBCUniversal through its 2011 acquisition by the channel's existing part-owner Comcast) to produce and program new weekend morning preschool blocks for NBC and Telemundo. The block, MiTelemundo, premiered on July 7, 2012, and also airs Saturday and Sunday mornings; as with its predecessors, it consists of Spanish dubbed versions of programs seen on its sister broadcast network's Saturday morning block, NBC Kids, which debuted on the same date. Even though Telemundo introduced a new logo on May 14, 2012, and debuted on-air on December 8 of that year, this logo was kept using the 2000 font.
===2018–2019===
On February 24, 2016 and March 1, 2016, NBC and Telemundo announced that they would lease their Saturday morning lineups to Litton Entertainment's The More You Know beginning October 2016 and January 2018, respectively. Named after NBC's series of public service campaigns, the three-hour Saturday morning block is programmed by Litton Entertainment, and features live-action programming aimed at teens, all of which is dubbed in Spanish. Despite the change of programming, it did not change the name of the block, which remains as MiTelemundo.
