History Creator / Sprout

In July 2012, Sprout kicked Creator/{{Qubo}} to the curb and took over programming NBC and Telemundo's Saturday morning blocks, under the names NBC Kids and [=MiTelemundo=] respectively. With the demise of Creator/{{Vortexx}}, NBC Kids became the very last traditional Saturday morning blocks on a major English-language U.S. commercial TV network to air [[SaturdayMorningCartoon cartoons]], albeit of an educational nature. The block would come to an end in October on 2016, replaced by a Litton Entertainment block branded "The More You Know", based off NBC's long running series of {{public service announcement}}s. [[note]]Traditional Saturday morning programming would return in markets with Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned network affiliates and their in-house Creator/KidsClick block in 2017, but even that was short-lived.[[/note]]

One of Sprout's most popular features was "Series/TheSunnySideUpShow," a [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming morning block]] with live hosts and the kazoo-voiced puppet Chica the chicken (who received her own series, ''Series/TheChicaShow'', in 2012). Another daily block was Series/TheGoodNightShow, a block of programming themed around getting children for bed. Notably, unlike most U.S. networks of this type (i.e. Nick Jr., Disney Junior), Sprout actually aired advertising in-between programs. They had a stated policy of only airing ads targeted at children's parents, rather than children themselves, though naturally some ads might blur those lines.
