Universal Kids is an American digital cable and satellite television network that is owned by the NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group subsidiary of NBCUniversal, itself a division of Comcast. The network broadcasts children's programming, and takes the branding of the sister company, Universal Studios. This channel features shows from DreamWorks Animation such as All Hail King Julien, Dragons: Riders of Berk, Life Hacks for Kids: On the Road, The Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show, Spirit Riding Free, Harvey Street Kids, The Adventures of Puss in Boots, Dawn of the Croods, Home: Adventures with Tip and Oh, Dinotrux, The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, The Boss Baby: Back in Business, Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, Turbo FAST, Voltron: Legendary Defender and Trollhunters

On May 1, 2017, it was announced that Sprout would be re-launched as Universal Kids on September 9, 2017. The re-branded network will revamp its evening and primetime programming to target youth and family viewing, with plans to incorporate new original series targeting the demographic (such as Top Chef Junior), as well as other international imports (such as the Australian series Nowhere Boy and the Canadian series The Next Step). The remainder of the network's programming will continue to consist of preschool programming under the Sprout brand, occupying 15 hours per-day of progr

amming from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.[1]

Universal Pictures' recent acquisition of DreamWorks Animation will also be leveraged by Universal Kids to bolster its programming; critics felt that the DWA purchase and the launch of Universal Kids were meant to help NBCUniversal establish a viable multi-platform presence in children's media, and a competitor to other major children's brands such as Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Disney Channel and Disney XD.[2][3][4][5][6]
