On October 7, 2003, Universal Kids launched a nighttime adult block called "Ibiso". It was aimed at an adult audience, airing animated and live-action programming. The block was launched at 10:00 p.m., after Universal Kids Cinema (which now aired at 8:00-10:00p.m. due to Super Universal taking the 7:00-8:00p.m. timeslot). From the block's launch the bumpers feature the Ibiso logo colored in white with shots of a suburban house (inside and outside) caught on camera. In September 2005, the block rebranded with the bumpers being set in something similar to Windows' "System32" software. On April 1, 2013, a 24-hour spin-off "Ibiso" TV channel was launched, replacing G4 on all different cablesystems in the United States. To commemorate the new Ibiso channel, a promo aired announcing that "On April 1st, G4 will be no more" and that "because [they] are making way for Ibiso on [their] new 24-hour channel." The channel was soft launched on April 1, 2013, at 8:00 p.m., with their first show for the night. Bumpers announcing the welcome launch of "[their] new Ibiso channel" were aired all the way up until September 4, 2013, when they stopped airing the new "welcome" bumpers. In August 2014, the block rebranded with the bumpers being similar to Adult Swim's "find the logo" bumpers. In 2021, the block rebranded with the bumpers feature the Ibiso logo being made by different artists, similar to MTV's rebranding in 2019. In 2009, when the Universal Kids Family Movie Night block moved to 7:00 p.m., and the Universal Kids "Spin Cycle" block being discontinued, Ibiso moved its 10:00 p.m. timeslot to 8:00 p.m., which continued until April 4, 2016, when UK2N launched, taking its 8:00 p.m. timeslot away, and Ibiso moved to its 10:00 p.m. timeslot once again. When UK2N was discontinued in 2021, Ibiso got back its 8:00 p.m. timeslot that UK2N formerly occupied. In September 2022, Ibiso moved its 8:00 p.m. timeslot to 7:00 p.m. in order to get attention for kids to catch up on some sleep. In May 2023, Ibiso moved its 7:00pm timeslot to 6:00 p.m., making Universal Kids air from 6:00-8:00 a.m. in the morning, and from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. in the afternoon earlier.
For the record, before the Ibiso block on Universal Kids launched, "Ibiso" was one of the two planned names for Cartoon Network's late-night adult programming block Adult Swim in 2001.
