* SaturdayMorningCartoon blocks fell into this over time. Originally established in the 60s when there were no television stations dedicated towards kids, this specific block was developed to cater towards an untapped demographic. This would also later lead to the creation of the "After School" block of cartoons as well. In the mid eighties and early nineties, the development of the "Big Three" children's channels (Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, the Creator/DisneyChannel, and Creator/CartoonNetwork) would all slowly deal a blow to the block's relevancy. Slowly during TheNoughties, stations began to pull their cartoon blocks, starting with the after school blocks before eventually the Saturday Morning Cartoon blocks also got pulled. The last of them, The Vortexx on Creator/TheCW, [[EndOfAnEra ended its run]] in September 2014. However this is not universal - the two most popular TV channels in Hungary still have children's programs on weekend mornings despite a variety of children's channels also being available, and in Japan, many broadcast channels air children's shows on weekend mornings, as cable television in Japan is not as widespread as it is in other countries.

The last of them, The Vortexx on Creator/TheCW, [[EndOfAnEra ended its run]] in September 2014.2014, and ever since then, the only remotely successful attempt at creating a Saturday Morning Cartoon block (at least in the USA) has been Creator/MeTV's own dedicated block for classic theatrical/TV animation that launched in 2021.
