** When it was learned that ''Square One TV'' was going to be cancelled, Howard Meltzer, who produced the ''Mathnet'' segments, called up Creator/{{ABC}} and suggested to them that they revive ''Mathnet'' as its own program. Creator/{{ABC}} was interested, but unfortunately, however, the Children's Television Workshop vetoed the plan when they heard about it, because they would not have earned any money in the deal[[note]]This was because the ''Mathnet'' segments were not technically produced by CTW itself, but instead were produced by outside companies contracted by them. In the L.A. era, it was The Webb Organization, while in the New York era, it was Turtleback Productions in association with The Entertainment Group.[[/note]]. ABC did end up airing a CTW-produced program later, the short-lived animated series ''WesternAnimation/{{Cro}}''.
