'''''Cookie Jar TV''''' is a three-hour [[children's programming]] block on [[CBS]]. It launched on September 16, 2006 as ''KOL Secret Slumber Party'', re-branded as ''KEWLopolis'' on September 15, 2007 and again as ''Cookie Jar TV'' on September 19, 2009. The block replaced ''[[Nick Jr. on CBS]]'', which was produced by [[Viacom]]'s [[Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]] before CBS and Viacom became two separate companies. The block is owned and programmed by [[Cookie Jar Group|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] (the successor to block creator [[DIC Entertainment]]). As KEWLopolis, the block was a tie-in with a monthly [[teen magazine]], ''[[KEWL Magazine|Kewl]]'', which was established in part by DiC in May 2007. |
|||
'''Cookie Jar TV''' was an American [[Children's television series|children's]] [[Block programming|programming block]] that aired on [[CBS]], originally premiering on September 16, 2006, as the KOL Secret Slumber Party; the block was later rebranded as KEWLopolis ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|uː|l|ɔː|p|oʊ|l|ɪ|s}} {{respell|KOO|law-poh-lis}}) on September 15, 2007, and finally as Cookie Jar TV on September 19, 2009, running until September 21, 2013. It was originally programmed by [[DIC Entertainment]], which over the course of the block's seven-year run, was acquired by Canada-based [[Cookie Jar Group|Cookie Jar Entertainment]] and subsequently by [[WildBrain|DHX Media]] (both of which thereby assumed responsibility for the lineup). ''Cookie Jar TV'' ended on September 21, 2013 and was replaced by a [[Litton Entertainment]]-produced block called the "[[CBS Dream Team]]" on September 28, 2013. |
|||
All programming in the block is in compliance with federal "[[E/I]]" requirements as mandated by the [[Federal Communications Commission]]. Though the block is intended to air on Saturday mornings, like its predecessors, some CBS affiliates choose to tape-delay 30 minutes to an hour of the block to air at a different weekend timeslot (usually on Sunday mornings). |

[[Image:KOLSSPonCBS.PNG|thumb|left|150px|"KOL Secret Slumber Party" logo, used from 2006-2007]] After the announcement of the CBS/DIC partnership, the latter announced programming block was originally going to be called CBS's Secret Saturday Morning Slumber Party (or ''CBS’s Saturday Morning Secret Slumber Party''), but was later renamed '''''KOL Secret Slumber Party on CBS''''' after DIC, who produced all of the children's programming for the block, partnered with KOL, the children's area of [[AOL]], which co-produced programming with DIC. AOL managed the programming block's website, and produced [[public service announcement]]s which aired both on television and online<ref>[http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002725721 DIC, KOL to Produce on CBS], ''Mediaweek'', June 21, 2006</ref> This alliance was what led to the name change for this block, and also because some of the programs were airing on Sundays (depending on the market). |

On January 19, 2006, two months after [[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]] and [[CBS Corporation]] finalized their separation into two commonly controlled companies (both owned by [[National Amusements]]), CBS announced that it would enter into a three-year programming partnership with [[DIC Entertainment]] to produce a new Saturday morning children's programming block including new and older series from its program library and included the distribution of select [[broadcast delay|tape-delayed]] [[Formula One]] auto races.<ref name="Synergy">{{cite news|title=Synergy not kid-friendly at Eye web|url=https://variety.com/2006/digital/markets-festivals/synergy-not-kid-friendly-at-eye-web-1117936466/|author=Elizabeth Guider|periodical=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|publisher=[[Reed Business Information]]|date=January 19, 2006|access-date=August 13, 2009}}</ref> |

DIC originally announced that the block would be named CBS's Saturday Morning Secret Slumber Party;<ref name="Kidscreen">{{Cite magazine |date=May 2006 |title=DIC's CBS block looks to reach girl viewers |url=http://kidscreen.com/content/pdf/51053.pdf |magazine=Kidscreen |page=28 |access-date=2017-08-22}}</ref> however, it was later renamed as the '''KOL Secret Slumber Party''' after DIC partnered with KOL, an [[AOL]] website aimed at children, to co-produce the block's programming. AOL managed the programming block's website and produced [[public service announcement]]s which aired both on television and online.<ref>{{cite web|title=DIC, KOL to Produce on CBS |url=http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002725721 |periodical=Mediaweek |date=June 21, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060713195740/http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/networktv/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002725721 |archive-date=2006-07-13 }}</ref> This association, along with the fact that some CBS stations chose to tape delay some of the programs to air on Sunday mornings, was what led to the block's renaming. Notably, despite AOL at the time being a sister company to [[Warner Bros.]], with whom CBS co-owned the then new [[The CW|CW Network]], neither Secret Slumber Party nor [[Kids' WB]] advertised each other's programs and KOL Secret Slumber Party shows. |

In mid-2007, KOL withdrew sponsorship of the block.<ref>[http://www.animationmagazine.net/article/7271 CBS Blocks Out KEWLopolis], ''Animation Magazine'', August 23, 2007</ref> Afterwards, CBS and DIC announced a new partnership with American Greetings Corporation to produce the new '''''KEWLopolis''''', a cartoon block aiming at young female children. |
|||
The KOL Secret Slumber Party premiered on September 16, 2006, replacing [[Nickelodeon on CBS|Nick Jr. on CBS]].<ref name="Kidscreen"/> Its inaugural lineup included three first-run shows (''[[Horseland (TV series)|Horseland]]'', ''[[Cake (2006 TV series)|Cake]]'', and ''[[Dance Revolution]]''), two shows that originally aired on the syndicated [[Cookie Jar Kids Network|DIC Kids Network]] block (''[[Sabrina's Secret Life]]'' and ''[[Trollz (TV series)|Trollz]]''), and two shows from the 1990s (''[[Madeline (TV series)|Madeline]]'' and ''[[Sabrina: The Animated Series]]''). The block's ''[[de facto]]'' hosts (and in turn, from whom the Secret Slumber Party name was partly derived) were the [[Slumber Party Girls]], an all-female [[teen pop]] group signed with [[Geffen Records]] (consisted of [[Cassie Scerbo]], Mallory Low, [[Karla Deras]], Lina Carattini, and Caroline Scott), who made appearances in break bumpers and interstitial segments during the block, and served as a [[house band]] on ''Dance Revolution.'' |

On July 23, 2008, DIC was acquired by the [[Cookie Jar Group]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |title=COOKIE JAR AND DIC ENTERTAINMENT TO MERGE, CREATING INDEPENDENT GLOBAL CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATION POWERHOUSE |work=Cookie Jar Group |date=2008-06-20|accessdate=2008-12-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |title=COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS BRAND PORTFOLIO, TALENT AND GLOBAL REACH WITH CLOSING OF DIC TRANSACTION |work=Cookie Jar Group |date=2008-07-23 |accessdate=2008-12-23}}</ref> On February 24, 2009, it was announced that CBS renewed its contract with Cookie Jar for another three seasons, through 2012.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/179789-CBS_Reups_With_Kids_Programmer_Cookie_Jar.php|title=CBS Reups With Kids Programmer Cookie Jar|date=February 24, 2009|work=Broadcasting & Cable|accessdate=2009-02-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20090224.php|title=CBS RENEWS COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT'S SATURDAY MORNING BLOCK FOR THREE MORE SEASONS |date=February 24, 2009|work=Cookie Jar Group|accessdate=2009-03-25}}</ref> While KEWLopolis was willing to carry ''Cake'' and ''Horseland'' over from KOL Secret Slumber Party, Cookie Jar TV removed all KEWLopolis programming upon its re-branding on September 19, 2009.<ref name="CookieJarTV">{{cite news|url=http://www.worldscreen.com/articles/display/22324|title=CBS Sets Lineup for Cookie Jar Block|date=September 4, 2009|work=WorldScreen|accessdate=2009-09-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.kidscreen.com/articles/magazine/20090508/upfront.html?page=3|title=Zeroing In|date=May 8, 2009|work=Kidscreen|accessdate=2009-07-14}}</ref> |

In the summer of 2007, KOL withdrew its sponsorship from the network's Saturday morning block. CBS and DIC subsequently announced a new partnership with [[American Greetings]] to rebrand the block as KEWLopolis, debuting on September 15 of that year, which would be targeted at younger children and branded as a tie-in with the monthly [[teen magazine]] ''[[Kewl Magazine|Kewl]]'' (which was established in part by DIC in May 2007; it is no longer in publication).<ref>{{cite web|title=CBS Blocks Out KEWLopolis|url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/article/7271|work=Animation Magazine|date=August 23, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=May 2007 |title=DIC reaches out to boys amid block revamp |url=http://kidscreen.com/content/pdf/51179.pdf |magazine=Kidscreen |page=33 |access-date=2017-08-22}}</ref> All shows were retained from Secret Slumber Party except for ''Dance Revolution'' and ''Madeline''. When the rebranded block began, a new series, American Greetings' ''[[Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot]]'' joined the block along with another fellow DIC/American Greetings series ''[[Strawberry Shortcake (2003 TV series)|Strawberry Shortcake]]'', which also joined the lineup after having previously been aired in syndication. In November 2007, ''[[Sabrina: The Animated Series]]'' and ''[[Trollz (TV series)|Trollz]]'' were replaced with two new series, the DIC/American Greetings co-production ''[[Sushi Pack]]'' and DIC's ''[[DinoSquad]]''. |
|||
The block airs at different times on some CBS stations (some air it on one day, and others split into both weekends). CBS (as with any network) and the block's producers ask viewers to check local listings to find out when the shows air in their area. |

On June 20, 2008, Canada-based production company [[Cookie Jar Group]] announced that it would acquire DIC Entertainment; the purchase was finalized one month later on July 23.<ref>{{cite web |title=COOKIE JAR AND DIC ENTERTAINMENT TO MERGE, CREATING INDEPENDENT GLOBAL CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT AND EDUCATION POWERHOUSE |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |publisher=[[Cookie Jar Group]] |date=June 20, 2008 |access-date=December 23, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531232059/http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080620.php |archive-date=May 31, 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT EXPANDS BRAND PORTFOLIO, TALENT AND GLOBAL REACH WITH CLOSING OF DIC TRANSACTION |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |publisher=Cookie Jar Group |date=July 23, 2008 |access-date=December 23, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531231944/http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20080723a.php |archive-date=May 31, 2009 }}</ref> On February 24, 2009, CBS renewed its time-lease agreement with Cookie Jar for three additional seasons, running through 2012.<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS Re-ups With Kids Programmer Cookie Jar|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/179789-CBS_Reups_With_Kids_Programmer_Cookie_Jar.php|periodical=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|date=February 24, 2009|access-date=February 26, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=CBS RENEWS COOKIE JAR ENTERTAINMENT'S SATURDAY MORNING BLOCK FOR THREE MORE SEASONS |url=http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20090224.php |work=Cookie Jar Group |date=February 24, 2009 |access-date=March 25, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090531232115/http://www.cjar.com/press/cj_press_20090224.php |archive-date=May 31, 2009 }}</ref> |

Subsequently, on September 19, the block was rebranded again as '''Cookie Jar TV''';<ref name=" CookieJarTV"/> all of the programs from KEWLopolis and KOL Secret Slumber Party were removed upon the block's relaunch. The new shows added to the block were ''[[Busytown Mysteries]]'' and ''[[Noonbory and the Super Seven]]''.

On July 24, 2013, CBS announced a programming agreement with [[Hearst Media Production Group|Litton Entertainment]] (which recently programmed a [[Weekend Adventure|Saturday morning block]] that is syndicated to [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s owned-and-operated stations and affiliates for two years) to launch a new Saturday morning block featuring live-action reality-based series aimed at teenagers ages 13 to 18 years old. Cookie Jar TV ended its run after seven years on September 21, 2013, and was succeeded by the following week on September 28 by the Litton-produced [[CBS WKND|CBS Dream Team]].<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS partners with Litton Entertainment for Saturday teen block|url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-cbs-litton-entertainment-saturday-teen-block-20130724,0,7010894.story|author=Meg James|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=July 24, 2013|access-date=July 25, 2013}}</ref> |
|||
==Programming== |
|||
All of the programs aired within the block featured content compliant with [[Regulations on children's television programming in the United States|educational programming]] requirements as mandated by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] via the [[Regulations on children's television programming in the United States#Children's Television Act|Children's Television Act]]. Though the block was intended to air on Saturday mornings, like its predecessors, some CBS affiliates deferred certain programs aired within the block to Sunday mornings, or (in the case of affiliates in the Western United States) Saturday afternoons due to breaking news or severe weather coverage, or regional or select national sports broadcasts (especially in the case of college football and basketball tournaments) scheduled in earlier Saturday timeslots as makegoods to comply with the E/I regulations. Some stations also tape delayed the entire block in order to accommodate local weekend morning newscasts, the Saturday edition of ''[[The Early Show]]'' and later its successor ''[[CBS This Morning]]'' or other programs of local interest (such as real estate or lifestyle programs). It was the final children's block to be broadcast only in [[standard-definition television|standard definition]]. |

Cookie Jar TV was an American children's programming block that aired on CBS, originally premiering on September 16, 2006, as the KOL Secret Slumber Party; the block was later rebranded as KEWLopolis (/ˈkuːlɔːpoʊlɪs/ KOO-law-poh-lis) on September 15, 2007, and finally as Cookie Jar TV on September 19, 2009, running until September 21, 2013. It was originally programmed by DIC Entertainment, which over the course of the block's seven-year run, was acquired by Canada-based Cookie Jar Entertainment and subsequently by DHX Media (both of which thereby assumed responsibility for the lineup). Cookie Jar TV ended on September 21, 2013 and was replaced by a Litton Entertainment-produced block called the "CBS Dream Team" on September 28, 2013.
History
[edit]KOL Secret Slumber Party
[edit]
On January 19, 2006, two months after Viacom and CBS Corporation finalized their separation into two commonly controlled companies (both owned by National Amusements), CBS announced that it would enter into a three-year programming partnership with DIC Entertainment to produce a new Saturday morning children's programming block including new and older series from its program library and included the distribution of select tape-delayed Formula One auto races.[1]
DIC originally announced that the block would be named CBS's Saturday Morning Secret Slumber Party;[2] however, it was later renamed as the KOL Secret Slumber Party after DIC partnered with KOL, an AOL website aimed at children, to co-produce the block's programming. AOL managed the programming block's website and produced public service announcements which aired both on television and online.[3] This association, along with the fact that some CBS stations chose to tape delay some of the programs to air on Sunday mornings, was what led to the block's renaming. Notably, despite AOL at the time being a sister company to Warner Bros., with whom CBS co-owned the then new CW Network, neither Secret Slumber Party nor Kids' WB advertised each other's programs and KOL Secret Slumber Party shows.
The KOL Secret Slumber Party premiered on September 16, 2006, replacing Nick Jr. on CBS.[2] Its inaugural lineup included three first-run shows (Horseland, Cake, and Dance Revolution), two shows that originally aired on the syndicated DIC Kids Network block (Sabrina's Secret Life and Trollz), and two shows from the 1990s (Madeline and Sabrina: The Animated Series). The block's de facto hosts (and in turn, from whom the Secret Slumber Party name was partly derived) were the Slumber Party Girls, an all-female teen pop group signed with Geffen Records (consisted of Cassie Scerbo, Mallory Low, Karla Deras, Lina Carattini, and Caroline Scott), who made appearances in break bumpers and interstitial segments during the block, and served as a house band on Dance Revolution.
KEWLopolis
[edit]
In the summer of 2007, KOL withdrew its sponsorship from the network's Saturday morning block. CBS and DIC subsequently announced a new partnership with American Greetings to rebrand the block as KEWLopolis, debuting on September 15 of that year, which would be targeted at younger children and branded as a tie-in with the monthly teen magazine Kewl (which was established in part by DIC in May 2007; it is no longer in publication).[4][5] All shows were retained from Secret Slumber Party except for Dance Revolution and Madeline. When the rebranded block began, a new series, American Greetings' Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot joined the block along with another fellow DIC/American Greetings series Strawberry Shortcake, which also joined the lineup after having previously been aired in syndication. In November 2007, Sabrina: The Animated Series and Trollz were replaced with two new series, the DIC/American Greetings co-production Sushi Pack and DIC's DinoSquad.
Cookie Jar TV
[edit]On June 20, 2008, Canada-based production company Cookie Jar Group announced that it would acquire DIC Entertainment; the purchase was finalized one month later on July 23.[6][7] On February 24, 2009, CBS renewed its time-lease agreement with Cookie Jar for three additional seasons, running through 2012.[8][9]
Subsequently, on September 19, the block was rebranded again as Cookie Jar TV;[10] all of the programs from KEWLopolis and KOL Secret Slumber Party were removed upon the block's relaunch. The new shows added to the block were Busytown Mysteries and Noonbory and the Super Seven. Sabrina: The Animated Series also returned to the lineup after leaving in 2007. [10][11] The theme song for the block was composed by Ron Wasserman.[12] On April 3, 2010, Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show was added, while Strawberry Shortcake returned to the block.
On September 18, 2010, Sabrina's Secret Life returned to the block, replacing both Noonbory and the Super Seven and Strawberry Shortcake. On February 5, 2011, Trollz and Horseland returned to the block, replacing both Sabrina shows.
On September 17, 2011, Cookie Jar TV added The Doodlebops and PBS series Danger Rangers, replacing Doodlebops Rockin' Road Show and Trollz. On September 22, 2012, PBS series Liberty's Kids replaced Danger Rangers and Horseland.[13] The Cookie Jar TV brand remained in place for the block following Cookie Jar Group's acquisition by DHX Media (now WildBrain) in October 2012.
On July 24, 2013, CBS announced a programming agreement with Litton Entertainment (which recently programmed a Saturday morning block that is syndicated to ABC's owned-and-operated stations and affiliates for two years) to launch a new Saturday morning block featuring live-action reality-based series aimed at teenagers ages 13 to 18 years old. Cookie Jar TV ended its run after seven years on September 21, 2013, and was succeeded by the following week on September 28 by the Litton-produced CBS Dream Team.[14]
Programming
[edit]All of the programs aired within the block featured content compliant with educational programming requirements as mandated by the Federal Communications Commission via the Children's Television Act. Though the block was intended to air on Saturday mornings, like its predecessors, some CBS affiliates deferred certain programs aired within the block to Sunday mornings, or (in the case of affiliates in the Western United States) Saturday afternoons due to breaking news or severe weather coverage, or regional or select national sports broadcasts (especially in the case of college football and basketball tournaments) scheduled in earlier Saturday timeslots as makegoods to comply with the E/I regulations. Some stations also tape delayed the entire block in order to accommodate local weekend morning newscasts, the Saturday edition of The Early Show and later its successor CBS This Morning or other programs of local interest (such as real estate or lifestyle programs). It was the final children's block to be broadcast only in standard definition.
