Universal Kids launched an action-oriented programming block called "Universal Kids Action Pack". The block aired action-adventure and superhero programming, mostly from Warner Bros. The block was launched on October 1996, after the Universal Kids network shortly launched. From 2003 to 2007, the bumpers featured a 3-D giant robot. From 2007 to 2011, the bumpers mirrored Teletoon's Action Force block. From November 2014 to 2019, the bumpers mirrored Disney XD's Anime Block. Since 2019, the block unbranded, using Universal Kids' general branding, but the "Action Pack" name was still mentioned on promos.

Universal Kids launched a family movie block every Monday night at 7:00 p.m. called "Universal Kids Cinema". The block aired movies from the Universal Pictures library, along with other movies from other movie studio companies. The block was launched on October 1996, after the Universal Kids network shortly launched. From 1998 to 2001, the block rebranded, with the graphics done in a mix of live-action and claymation. In 2003, Universal Kids launched "Super Universal" to supplement the 7:00 p.m. timeslot, so Universal Kids Cinema moved its 7:00 p.m. timeslot to 8:00 p.m., and remained that way until 2009 when Super Universal (now titled "Spin Cycle" in August 2006) was discontinued, regaining back the original 7:00 p.m. timeslot that was formerly occupied. On February 5, 2007, during Universal Kids' rebranding, the block was rebranded as "Universal Kids Presents". In February 2009, the block was rebranded as "Universal Kids Family Movie Night", with new branding graphics. In May 2013, the block was rebranded as the "Big Family Movie", with the bumpers being set on a white paper background covered in blue ink splats. On the day of Universal Kids' rebranding in 2019, the block reverted back to the "Universal Kids Cinema" name, with new graphics done in 3-D animation. However the new "Universal Kids Cinema" logo was never used, the block only used the usual 2019-present "Universal Kids" logo.

On August 10, 2006, the block rebranded as "Spin Cycle", airing a block of Universal Kids programming, not just action series. The bumpers were done and animated by Mike Gray and Eric Knutson. On December 30, 2006, the block became unbranded again, and on February 5, 2007, Universal Kids' rebranding, the block rebranded once again using the "Spin Cycle" name, with the bumpers featuring a 3-D bouncing washing machine.

On April 4, 2016, Universal Kids launched an evening block to supplement the 8:00-10:00p.m. timeslot formerly occupied by Ibiso called "UK2N". The block aired programs aimed at a teen audience, along with sitcoms and teen dramas. The bumpers and graphics mirrored Family Channel in Canada's "F2N" evening block. During Universal Kids' rebranding in April 2019, the block replaced all teen sitcoms and dramas with Universal Kids' former programming, getting updated more and more until February 2020. The block was discontinued in 2021, moving the Ibiso block to 8:00p.m. once again.
