The block and channel serve as a revival of *Kids' WB*, airing mainly programming from Warner Bros.

## History Edit Edit Edit

### Confirmation Edit Edit Edit

In May 2018, Litton Entertainment had confirmed that they'll end all the blocks due to their low ratings and several messages complaining about the lack of Saturday Morning blocks, moving its programming to knowledge-themed networks on cable television. Later, after the confirmation, The CW wanted to come up with a new Saturday morning programming block aimed just for children who need Saturday cartoon block back.

In June 2018, WarnerMedia teamed up with select companies to launch a new block for the channel. After several discussions, the channel announced the intent to relaunch the now-defunct *Kids' WB*, being this time named *WB Kids*, named after the website. Immediately, *WB Kids* was announced and born. A day before New Year's Day, The CW placed its first look in its Facebook account.

On March 2019, the first promo for the block aired on TV and was posted on YouTube with thousands and thousands of likes, mostly where the most-beloved *Kids' WB* block is being revived with a different name. The next month, both Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios had plans to create original series for the block and put something new. So on the same month of 2019, Hailey Anne from Yo Kai Watch tell us that WB Kids is planned on something new on a promo. Thereby, (although first aired on *Cartoon Network*), *The Chronicles of Collin the Speedy Boy* was officially labeled as the first WB Kids original series. In addition, other companies including studios outside of U.S. would also produce original series for WB Kids while also creating it for their own countries. So thereby, many shows on YTV and Teletoon moves their shows to WB Kids block. On May 2019, The CW Litton Block beginning it final few days from May to June 8th with the OMM bug change to Bumblebee and WB Kids and the countdown to how many days till the block launched.(That happened with The CW Prime time from May to June 8th replacing the CW bug)

On June 1st, a Saturday before the block premiere, the full starting lineup for the block was confirmed and on the same day and the final moments of Litton begins. Right after the OMM last show, Litton Entertainment did a final sign off for The CW and others cable networks and says Saturday Cartoons like Looney Tunes will do return next Saturday Morning Kids ending E/I format after 22 years. The next Saturday(8th), the block finally premiered with Bumblebee and DJ Thomas Are You Ready Pep Rally Intro for launch day.

### Launch of the block EditEdit Edit Edit

The block was launched on The CW on Saturday, June 8th, 2019, replacing *One Magnificent Morning* after five years of existence and after many years with E/I(since 2005). The launch sequence is different to  The WB's (one of The CW's predecessors) launch sequence and this is with the special intro with the hosts at the end , with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck (both voiced by Jeff Bergman) discussing about who will launch the block plus Hailey Anne(appearing out of nowhere) also wondering who is the one who will pull the switch. The camera then panes over to Collin the Speedy Boy (voiced by Matthew Mercer) in a dark place walking in to find the switch for the light saying: "Gee, It's sure is dark around here.". His mind says: "I found something good".He find a certain switch with a note saying "Press this one". He think about it(Eh, I Don't Know), a announcer says "I do know, press it and find out."So he switch it, officially launching the block for the first time since 2014 and 2016. Hailey Anne and new hosts Bumblebee(TTG Style), DJ Thomas and Bugs Bunny walk to Collin while looking all around the things that The CW made(WB Kids City). Bumblebee reply "We have our winner" holding Collin's hand like at the end of boxing match when having a winner, as Bugs Bunny and Anne walk away.Just then, Bumblebee make a fourth wall breaking by looking at us and reply  to us "Okay everyone, Are You Ready?"(With Children Crowd offscreen says YEEAAAAAH!) while DJ Thomas loudly says "I Can't hear you, Are You Ready To Party!!"(With The Offscreen Crowd says YEEAAAAAH!) Bumblebee reply "Then let party with our first programming".During the Let's Party Scene, the WB Kids logo flash up and rises up and flash to the respectful color. The first program to air was the 1951 *Looney Tunes* short *Rabbit Fire* as part of the *Acme Hour* block. On The Commercial Break Bumpers of the launch, many kids are cheering with the hosts. Bumblebee reply, "Okay Everyone, We're Just getting start, but don't click the remote because WB Kids has a new show starting Collin. So you do want to miss it, we'll be back on The CW. A alternative version appear that is says: We'll be back after the message from your local station. Second one is the same but the host simply reply: "We are back here at the WB Kids Launch Day with many characters getting ready with Collin getting himself ready for his new show. So let get back to Bugs Bunny and his friends for their greatest adventures. Third one is the same but a limo just pull up and Sonny from the Cocoa Puffs commercials appear greeting everyone saying that he is hosting in a new commercial featuring him in live action. The Host says: That Good, let look and stick around for more WB Kids Fun.

So it was so successful that The CW offers WB Kids to expanded to Sunday for the first time in Kids WB History and first in the US Television History that a network offers the Sunday Kids Block, plus expanded it to Toonzai and Vortexx. Due to that, The CW offer the Party Edition on a Saturday Night with Toonzai and Vortexx

The block not only was given largely favorable reviews from critics and viewers, but was also proven to be successful on the launch day, being viewed by both kids and adults.
