WildBrain Kids Network

The WildBrain Kids Network (formerly DiC Kids Network, Cookie Jar Kids Network and DHX Kids Network) is a syndicated children's programming block that airs selected DHX Media programs on local TV stations to provide them with a source of E/I programming required by federal law. The block is known on air as simply DHX and DHX TV. It was first formed in 2003 as the DIC Kids Network, and was syndicated by Tribune Entertainment from 2003 to 2008, and then by Ascent Media. In early 2008, the group announced that they would renew the focus of the block with an emphasis on offering DIC Entertainment programming to additional digital subchannels to meet their E/I needs. On June 20, 2008, it has been announced that DIC Entertainment programming would be acquired by Cookie Jar Entertainment. On July 23, 2008, the deal was completed, and the block was later re-launched as the Cookie Jar Kids Network. In October 2012, the block was re-launched again as the DHX Kids Network, with Decode Entertainment, Halifax Film and Studio B shows started to air, In 2019, It changed it's name to WildBrain Kids Network
National ad sales for the syndicated blocks were handled by Tribune Entertainment with barter basis available. Ads could have stitched together different programs throughout the four blocks.
