The More You Know (TV programming block)

The More You Know (TMYK) is an American programming block that debuted on NBC on October 8, 2016 and Telemundo on January 6, 2018. Programmed by Litton Entertainment, it replaced the animation block NBC Kids. It airs on Saturday mornings on NBC and Telemundo, and as of 2017 is replayed Sunday mornings on sister network Cozi TV. The block's programs are also available through all of NBC's video on demand venues, including the network's site/app, Hulu, and cable/satellite services.
Based on NBCUniversal's series of public service campaigns of the same name, the three-hour Saturday morning block features live-action programming aimed at pre-teens and teens that are designed to meet federally mandated educational programming guidelines.
It is Litton's fourth E/I-centric programming block across the major U.S. television networks, joining three other Litton blocks: Weekend Adventure (syndicated to ABC stations), Dream Team (on CBS), and One Magnificent Morning (on The CW).
History.
Between February 24, 2016 and March 1, 2016, NBCUniversal announced that it would discontinue its existing Saturday morning block NBC Kids, which was programmed by Sprout (now Universal Kids), in favor of The More You Know, a new, three-hour block produced by Litton Entertainment, that would feature live-action educational programming aimed towards teenagers and their parents. The block serves as a brand extension of "The More You Know"—a series of public service campaigns first launched by NBC in 1989.
NBC Kids aired for the final time on September 25, 2016 on NBC and December 31, 2017, on Telemundo, it was the last weekend morning block across the major U.S. commercial broadcast networks that featured programs for children. Such content has shifted towards cable networks and online video on demand services for cartoons and another youth-oriented live-action programming due to those platform's less-onerous regulations for children's content.
It was originally scheduled to debut on October 1, 2016. However, it was pushed back one week due to NBC Sports' coverage of the 2016 Ryder Cup, and it was rescheduled to October 8, 2016. On January 6, 2018, the MiTelemundo block was relaunched to contain programs aired from The More You Know, however, it retained the MiTelemundo name, albeit with all of Litton's programming dubbed in Spanish.
