[edit] History
When UPN launched in 1995, it aired cartoons on weekends; the lineup was known as UPN Kids.
[edit] Live-action programming
In 1997, UPN went a different way with its children's program block by airing reruns of the syndicated Sweet Valley High and a new series, Breaker High on weekdays and weekends aiming the programs at teenagers.
[edit] Differences between UPN and other networks
As opposed to ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX, UPN aired the weekend children's program block on Sunday, and weekday mornings instead of Saturdays.
UPN was one of only two of the broadcast networks (PAX was the other) not to air a children's programming block on weekend mornings.
[edit] Demise
In 1999, UPN made a deal with The Walt Disney Company to air reruns of all the current, and ended shows on Disney's One Saturday Morning in place of the teen series. The new lineup would be called Disney's One Too.
