MTV Kids

Spanish (Tr3's)

MTV Kids was a block launched by ViacomCBS (At the time Viacom) on September 16, 2006. After CBS and Viacom split in 2006, CBS lost the rights to all Nickelodeon programming and no Nick shows were available on morning blocks. To get around this, they chose a Viacom network in which to put it on. Out of all the choices they had: MTV, MTV 2, Comedy Central, BET, and Spike, they chose MTV as it would be the best demographic. The block airs every Saturday and Sunday morning, as well as Friday afternoons from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM. MTV Kids will be the successor to ViacomCBS until the second merger in late 2019 and the contract with Litton Entertainment ending in late 2022/early 2023, causing Nick on CBS to return sometime in 2023. There are rumors that MTV Kids will remain but only broadcast PBS Kids/syndicated programming.

The channel went through a few rebrands. The first one was the generic October 2, 2009 rebrand just like the main Nickelodeon channels a few days later. The second one was on March 27, 2010 where the channel's logo became light pink to have its own identity separate from Nickelodeon. The third and final rebrand was in May 2016 to modernize the block further and bring back older shows for nostalgia.
