===Children's programming=== {{Main|Children's programming on CBS}} CBS broadcast the live-action series ''[[Captain Kangaroo]]'' on weekday mornings from 1955 to 1982, and on Saturdays until 1984. From 1971 to 1986, CBS News produced a series of one-minute segments titled ''[[In the News]]'', which aired between other Saturday morning programs. Otherwise, CBS's children's programming has mostly focused on animated series such as reruns of ''[[Mighty Mouse]]'', ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', and ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' cartoons, as well as ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'', ''[[Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'', ''[[Jim Henson's Muppet Babies]]'', ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'', and ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''. In 1997, CBS premiered ''[[Wheel 2000]]'', a children's version of the syndicated game show ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' which aired simultaneously on the [[Game Show Network]]. In September 1998, CBS began contracting the time out to other companies to provide programming and material for its Saturday morning schedule. The first of these outsourced blocks was the ''[[CBS Kidshow]]'', which ran until 2000 and featured programming from Canadian studio [[Nelvana]]<ref name="Nick Jr. on CBS">{{cite news|title=CBS picks Nick mix|url=https://variety.com/2000/tv/news/cbs-picks-nick-mix-1117782661/|last=Schneider|first=Michael|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=June 15, 2000|access-date=July 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730112321/http://variety.com/2000/tv/news/cbs-picks-nick-mix-1117782661/|archive-date=July 30, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> such as ''[[Anatole (TV series)|Anatole]]'', ''[[Mythic Warriors]]'', ''[[Rescue Heroes]]'', and ''[[Flying Rhino Junior High]]''.<ref>{{cite news|title=CTV pacts for 3 Nelvana series|url=https://variety.com/1998/tv/news/ctv-pacts-for-3-nelvana-series-1117489638/|last=Kelly|first=Brendan|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=December 21, 1998|access-date=July 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730115119/http://variety.com/1998/tv/news/ctv-pacts-for-3-nelvana-series-1117489638/|archive-date=July 30, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> After its agreement with Nelvana ended, the network then entered into a deal with [[Nickelodeon]] to air programming from its [[Nick Jr. (block)|Nick Jr.]] block beginning in September 2000, under the banner [[Nickelodeon on CBS|Nick Jr. on CBS]].<ref name="Nick Jr. on CBS"/> By the time of the deal, Nickelodeon and CBS were corporate sisters through the latter's then parent company Viacom as a result of its 2000 merger with CBS Corporation. From 2002 to 2005, live-action and animated Nickelodeon series aimed at older children also aired as part of the block under the name [[Nickelodeon on CBS|Nick on CBS]]. Following the Viacom-CBS split, the network decided to discontinue the Nickelodeon content deal. In March 2006, CBS entered into a three-year agreement with [[DIC Entertainment]], which was acquired later that year by the [[Cookie Jar Group]], to program the Saturday morning time slot as part of a deal that included distribution of select [[broadcast delay|tape-delayed]] [[Formula One]] auto races.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cookie Jar and Dic Entertainment to Merge, Creating independent global children's entertainment and education powerhouse |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |publisher=[[Cookie Jar Group]] |date=June 20, 2008 |access-date=December 23, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531232059/http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |archive-date=May 31, 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Cookie Jar Entertainment Expands Brand Portfolio, Talent and Global Reach with Closing of DIC Transaction|url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |work=[[Cookie Jar Group]]|date=July 23, 2008 |access-date=December 23, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531231944/http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |archive-date=May 31, 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=DIC Names Programming Chief for New CBS Block|url=http://www.worldscreen.com/newscurrent.php?filename=dic30706.htm |work=WorldScreen |date=March 7, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226231914/http://www.worldscreen.com/newscurrent.php?filename=dic30706.htm |archive-date=December 26, 2008 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Synergy not kid-friendly at Eye web|url=https://variety.com/2006/digital/markets-festivals/synergy-not-kid-friendly-at-eye-web-1117936466/|last=Guider|first=Elizabeth|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=January 19, 2006|access-date=July 29, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730115052/http://variety.com/2006/digital/markets-festivals/synergy-not-kid-friendly-at-eye-web-1117936466/|archive-date=July 30, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> The ''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS'' replaced ''Nick Jr. on CBS'' that September, with the inaugural lineup featuring two new first-run live-action programs, one animated series that originally aired in syndication in 2005, and three shows produced before 2006. In mid-2007, KOL, the children's service of [[AOL]], withdrew sponsorship from CBS' Saturday morning block, which was subsequently renamed KEWLopolis. Complementing CBS's 2007 lineup were ''[[Care Bears]]'', ''[[Strawberry Shortcake]]'', and ''[[Sushi Pack]]''.
