Kids' WB (stylized as Kids' WB!) was an American children's programming service and brand of The WB Television Network that aired on the network from September 9, 1995 to September 16, 2006, before moving to The CW (which was created by CBS Corporation and Time Warner as a replacement for both The WB and UPN), where it aired from September 23, 2006 to May 17, 2008. At that point, the Kids' WB block was discontinued, and its Saturday morning programming slot was sold to 4Kids Entertainment and replaced by successor block The CW4Kids.
Kids' WB was relaunched as an online network on April 28, 2008, a few weeks before the television block was replaced by The CW4Kids. Until it was discontinued on May 17, 2015, the service allowed viewers to stream live-action and animated content, including Looney Tunes and programs from Hanna-Barbera and DC Comics. The website operated in different "zones" based on programming type: Kids' WB, Kids' WB Jr. (for shows aimed at younger children), and DC HeroZone (for action-oriented animated series). It was also available on Fancast, where it featured Looney Tunes shorts and full episodes of television series such as Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons.
