Schedule history
The CW4Kids schedule remained the same as the original Kids' WB schedule upon its launch on May 24, 2008. Chaotic, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and The Batman were added to the block on June 21, 2008, replacing World of Quest, Johnny Test, Eon Kid and Skunk Fu!. On August 9, 2008, The Batman was removed and replaced with a second airing of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
On September 13, 2008, The CW4Kids launched its new fall season. Skunk Fu! returned and Viva Piñata, Dinosaur King, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back to the Sewer were added to the block, replacing Tom and Jerry Tales, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward. On September 27, 2008, Magi-Nation was removed from the block and GoGoRiki was added.
On October 25, 2008 Skunk Fu! and Viva Piñata left the schedule. The original 2003 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles replaced them, as well as a double airing The Spectacular Spider-Man.
Programming
In most markets, most affiliates use the network's current Saturday morning schedule. However, there are a few exceptions. In some markets, where CW4Kids and 4Kids TV may end up on the same network, one of the blocks is shifted to Sunday. Other moves can come due to sports pre-emptions or news telecasts.
