History
When UPN launched in 1995, it aired cartoons Space Strikers and Teknoman on weekends; the lineup was known as UPN Kids.
In 1997, UPN went a different way with its children's program block by airing new episodes as well as reruns of the syndicated Sweet Valley High and a new series, Breaker High on weekdays and Sundays aiming the programs at teenagers.
In January 1998, UPN began talks with The Walt Disney Company to run a daily two-hour Disney kids block but the talks with Disney were called off a week later do to a dispute over branding the block and deciding how much E/I programming Disney would provide, UPN then began talks with Nickelodeon. At which time UPN made a deal with Saban Entertainment to program the block on Sunday mornings and air shows like The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Spider-Man and Big Bad Beetleborgs.
In March 1998, UPN resumed talks with Disney and in April, UPN made a deal with Disney to air Disney programming on weekday and Sunday mornings. The new lineup, a sister block to Disney's One Saturday Morning on ABC, would be called Disney's One Too.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of reform is always identical; it is the comparison of the idea with the fact. Our modes of living are not agreeable to our imagination. We suspect they are unworthy. We arraign our daily employments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
