ABC Kids (also known as Disney's ABC Kids, and originally titled Disney's One Saturday Morning until September 2002) is an Template:Wp Template:Wp television network by Template:Wp that launched on January 29, 2024—replacing Template:Wp—and, formerly, a Template:Wp that aired on Template:Wp from September 13, 1997 to August 27, 2011. It features a mix of Template:Wp and Template:Wp series from Template:Wp and (beginning in 2001) sister cable network Template:Wp, aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 14.
The block regularly aired on Saturday mornings in the U.S., though certain programs within the lineup aired on Sundays in some parts of the country due to station preferences for non-Template:Wp programming or scheduling issues with regional or Template:Wp. Under its original "One Saturday Morning" brand, the block also aired in Template:Wp on Template:Wp from 1997 to 2002, and on the Template:Wp (BBS) from 1997 until it was integrated into CTV in 1998.
After five years of mainly repeats of programs introduced onto the block prior to the 2007-08 season, ABC decided it would cease to provide children's programming during the Saturday morning timeslot, and entered into an agreement with Template:Wp to program that period; the block that resulted from this deal – Template:Wp, which is structured as a Template:Wp package distributed with virtual exclusivity to ABC's Template:Wps and Template:Wp – replaced the ABC Kids block on September 3, 2011.
