Ready Set Learn
Ready, Set, Learn! was a preschool block that aired on TLC from December 28, 1992 to September 26, 2008, and Discovery Kids from April 1998 to October 8, 2010.
The block was initially hosted by children's entertainer Rory Zuckerman, who was billed as simply "Rory", until September 27, 1996. In 1996, Discovery Kids began to air its shows in its schedule.
From 1996 to 2001, the Discovery Kids block was known as "Discovery Mini Kids" that mostly consisted of shows that were no longer on TLC's block at the time, while "Ready Set Learn" on TLC continued to air without a host until February 21, 2003. In summer 2001, Discovery Kids started to air encore presentations of "Ready Set Learn" in place of the former block.
On February 24, 2003, Ready Set Learn introduced Paz the Penguin, who was seen in the block's official logo. TLC, as part of their continuing transformation into a pop-culture reality television channel, removed the block on September 29, 2008, and replaced it with repeats of their primetime programs; as a result, the Ready, Set, Learn block began being shown exclusively on Discovery Kids.
On October 10, 2010, Discovery Kids was relaunched as The Hub, with the "Ready Set Learn" block being replaced by "HubBub" the following Monday, with new programming and some international programming being imported to the United States began on HubBub. One program, Hip Hop Harry, is being announced to be shown on PBS Kids Sprout; it is currently shown on some Retro Television Network affiliates; as well as another program, Peep and the Big Wide World, which is currently shown on WNET for New York City viewers.
