History


The Schoolhouse Rock! era (1973–1996)

The crown jewel of the network's children's programming lineup was the award-winning ''

. The series aired from 1973 to 1985, before going on what turned out to be a temporary hiatus prior to its return to ABC's Saturday morning schedule in 1992. New episodes concerning money were released from 1994 to 1996. ''Schoolhouse Rock!'' was one of several animated interstitials that aired during this era, others included '' Time for Timer'' and ''

At the start of the 1991–92 season, around the same time that ABC launched ''I Love Saturday Night'' – a block that was inspired by the success of ABC's Friday night '' TGIF'' sitcom block (the former of which ultimately ended after several weeks due to low ratings), executive producer Jim Janicek also brought the hosted programming block concept to Saturday mornings, under the brand '' More Cool TV''. Stars from live-action series aired as part of the Saturday morning lineup, most notably including the cast of ABC's ''

'' revival, hosted interstitials every half-hour during the block. The ''MCTV'' segments at times were several seconds shorter than those shot for ''TGIF'' and ''I Love Saturday Night''. While an opening sequence and custom last-segment show bumpers were included, the theme music used was the instrumental version of ABC's 1991 ''America's Watching'' campaign. The ''MCTV'' concept was soon abandoned, although not as quickly as ''I Love Saturday Night''. From 1992 to 1995 (during the latter half of the show's run, and for at most until a year after it was canceled), short 30-second segments from '' America's Funniest People'' (a spin-off of the long-running '' America's Funniest Home Videos''), which were branded as ''America's Funniest Kids'', ran within commercial breaks during the ABC Saturday morning lineup. These would usually consist of excerpts from longer segments, usually featuring young children telling jokes or engaging in stunts.


Disney programming era (1996–2011)

The merger of Capital Cities Communications (which purchased ABC in 1986) into The Walt Disney Company in 1996 marked a shift in the network's Saturday morning cartoon output. The merger resulted in Disney increasing the amount of programming content it produced for the network, including in regards to children's programming (prior to this, most of Disney's animated programming originated on either CBS, with which the studio had a working relationship prior to its purchase of ABC, or '' The Disney Afternoon''). After Disney formally took over ABC's operations, the company's president and

Michael Eisner sought to create a Saturday morning block that was different from those carried by its competitors at the time, recruiting Peter Hastings (who had left Warner Bros. Animation in a dispute over the creative direction of '' Animaniacs'' and '' Pinky and the Brain'', which he had both written for) to help overhaul ABC's Saturday morning lineup. The concept that was developed revolved around the idea that Saturday is different from every other day of the week; Hastings also came up with the idea of utilizing virtual set technology for the hosted interstitial segments. The concept debuted as ''Disney's One Saturday Morning'' on September 13, 1997, formatted as a two-hour sub-block (before expanding to become the sole brand for the Saturday morning lineup in 1998) that originally featured some programs that had already aired on the co-existing ''ABC Saturday Morning'' lineup and incorporated live-action and animated interstitials. It was originally scheduled to premiere on September 6, but was delayed by one week due to ABC News' coverage of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales (a news event which resulted in CBS and NBC pre-empting their children's programming blocks that day). Disney would later create a spin-off block, ''
Disney's One Too Disney's One Too (later known as Disney's Animation Weekdays) was an American two-hour Sunday-to-Friday children's programming block that aired on UPN (and sometimes in syndication) from September 6, 1999 to August 31, 2003. A spin-off of the ''Di ...

As a result, live-action series were added to the ''Disney’s One Saturday Morning'' lineup that September as part of the newly created "Zoog Hour," an hour-long sub-block – named after the cable channel's weekend programming block at the time, Zoog Disney – featuring the Disney Channel sitcoms '' Lizzie McGuire'' and '' Even Stevens'' (the programming agreement occasionally extended to broadcasts of Disney Channel's

As a result, the block (outside of ''Power Rangers'') relied entirely on repeats of the channel's shows that first aired on ABC Kids between September 2005 and May 2007 for the remaining three years of its run (all of which, most notably ''That's So Raven'', were out of production by September 2011). ''Power Rangers'' ended its run on ABC Kids in 2010 after Haim Saban repurchased the franchise's intellectual rights in May 2010 from Disney and leased the broadcast rights to Nickelodeon, which began airing new seasons and repeat episodes of the series starting in 2011.


Litton's Weekend Adventure era (2011–present)

In March 2010, ABC decided that it would no longer provide E/I-compliant programming as part of its Saturday morning network lineup to its affiliates, with the network's affiliate board agreeing to seek a syndication package that would air exclusively on ABC owned-and-operated and

stations. On April 19, 2010, ABC announced a time-lease agreement with Litton Entertainment (now Hearst Media Production Group) to produce a new Saturday morning block, originally titled ''ABC Weekend Adventure'', which was subsequently renamed '' Litton's Weekend Adventure'', prior to its debut on September 3, 2011 (ending the entirety of conventional children's programming – animated or otherwise – airing on ABC). The block, designed by Litton to counterprogramming the then-traditional Saturday morning fare of animated and live-action scripted series, features unscripted and "pro-social programming"; however, the block is not structured as a conventional Saturday morning lineup, in that purchased advertisements within the block are commercials that would otherwise be targeted at the 18–49 demographic and shows within the block, while educational in nature, are marketed for a family audience – although intended to be aimed at teenagers ages 13–16 – rather than just children.


Programming


Scheduling issues

Programs featured on the current ''Litton's Weekend Adventure'' lineup are designed to meet federally mandated educational programming guidelines. However, as with its predecessor network-programmed blocks, programs may be deferred to Sunday daytime slots, or (in the case of affiliates in the Western United States) Saturday afternoons due to breaking news or severe weather coverage or, more commonly, regional or select national sports telecasts (especially in the case of

games) scheduled in earlier Saturday timeslots as makegoods to comply with the E/I regulations. Some stations may air the entirety of the ''Weekend Adventure'' block on tape delay to accommodate local news or other programs of local interest (such as public affairs shows, real estate or lifestyle programs).

(channel 4) aired programs within the former ABC Kids and the current ''Weekend Adventure'' lineups over three weekdays (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), with two programs airing each day from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., preceding the ABC Daytime lineup (in particular, the network's soap operas prior to 2012). This scheduling is used only in the event of Saturday afternoon sports telecasts broadcast by ABC – which due to the time difference between the Hawaii-Aleutian Time Zone and the United States mainland, may air live as early as five hours behind the game's airtime in the Eastern Time Zone, or six hours during Daylight Saving Time (as Hawaii runs on Standard Time year-round), effectively pre-empting ABC Kids programs from their regular timeslots and forcing the shows to air elsewhere on the station's schedule; this is particularly true of late morning and

games aired during the fall (for instance, a college football game with a 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time kick off would air in Hawaii at 9:30 a.m. Hawaii-Aleutian Time). During the college football season, ABC affiliates in the Western U.S. will often realign programming for college football telecasts that have a 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time start (as a noon Eastern Time game is often scheduled). Some affiliates moved the ABC Kids programming to Sunday mornings (something that is still sometimes the case with the ''Weekend Adventure'' lineup); however, until all Sunday-afternoon NASCAR races moved to ESPN in 2010, this usually pre-empted the pre-race show '' ESPN NASCAR Countdown''.
