About Us

Since qubo.wikia.com had been invaded by liars who stated completely wrong information about Qubo, but thankfully, that fake wiki shut down and now redirects to THIS Qubo Wiki with real Qubo Channel and blocks with all of the correct information.

What was Qubo? Qubo was a digital 24-hour network dedicated to children's programming. It was originally a joint-venture between Ion Media, Nelvana, Scholastic, NBCUniversal, and Classic Media. However, because the contracts with Scholastic, NBCUniversal, and Classic Media (which is now part of the former) lapsed in 2012, 2014 and 2015 respectively, the network lost the rights to air shows from those catalogs. Despite this, Qubo still owned the rights to air Nelvana's catalog but had also gotten programs from other companies such as 9 Story Media Group, Splash Entertainment, and WildBrain.

As for the programs, they consisted of a mix of preschool shows and shows targeted towards the 6-11 demographic. Most of the network's shows were animated, like VeggieTales, Bob the Builder, Jacob Two-Two and Babar, as well as several live-action shows including Finding Stuff Out, Culture Click, Look Kool, and Giver.

Before Qubo became a channel, it was a Saturday morning block on NBC, Telemundo, and Ion Television. The NBC and Telemundo blocks ran from 2006-2012, while Ion Television still had a Qubo block called "Qubo Kids Corner" (though the branding for it was removed when the Qubo channel shut down). In 2012, due to NBCUniversal exiting the joint venture (and therefore, losing the rights to their programming), the NBC and Telemundo blocks were replaced by NBC Kids, which featured shows from NBC's own Sprout network (now Universal Kids) until it was replaced in 2016 by The More You Know. Qubo also had an On Demand service on Dish Network, but was soon dissolved.

After 2019, the channel was 19 hours a day when Paid Programming was added to the midnight hours for official reasons unknown. Despite this, the channel eventually did ditch infomercials... on the last week of their broadcast.

When ION Media was acquired by the E.W. Scripps company, they announced they were going to shut down Qubo and ION Plus due to not finding them as "mature" as the Katz Networks they acquired in 2017 (Bounce, Court TV, Court TV Mystery, Grit and Laff).

The channel went defunct two days early on February 26, 2021 on most stations, AT&T U-verse and Verizon FiOS. The final show that played that day was Franklin and during the episode “Franklin’s Kite / Franklin and the Babysitter” abruptly cut to Grit's signal. Despite this, the Vizio TV stream of Qubo still existed and revealed Qubo eventually did shut down as planned. Qubo shut off abruptly during the Inspector Gadget episode "The Coo Coo Clock Caper."
