Deadline is reporting that Sprout will be rebranded (https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/7be3c1ac-c489-38fb-8126-2d9130605d3e/ss_nbcuniversal-is-building-its.html) as Universal Kids (http://kidscreen.com/2017/05/01/a-new-age-sprout-to-become-universal-kids/) this September.

https://deadline.com/2017/05/sprout-rebranding-to-universal-kids-network-with-top-chef-junior-dreamworks-animation-series-1202080226/

The general preschool shows will continue from 3 am to 6 pm. But from 6 pm to 3 am, there will be more general family programming like "Top Chef Junior", "All Hail King Julien", "Hank Zipzer", and "DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk."

There will be new preschool shows including "Kody Kapow", and there will be new international shows premiering including "Nowhere Boys", "Little Lunch", and "The Next Step."

Now that Sprout has become Universal Kids I think this will be a huge step for Universal Kids to appeal to a new successful audience and as Universal Kids continues to grow I think it will be successful as Nickelodeon Cartoon Network Disney Channel and Discovery Family Channel and probably add it's own movie nights where movies such as Dreamworks Trolls and Pitch Perfect and The Land Before Time movie series could be shown and perhaps have a block of classic cartoons from the 80's and 90's in the future. I think Universal Kids is gonna be competition for all the kids networks because Universal Kids is a smart idea for a network and I hope we hear more about them in the years to come

Why is Caillou still on the lineup?

NO! I grew up with Sprout! I watched it ever since its launch date when I was three and I even watched it when it was a video on demand only service! I literally watched nothing but Sprout until I was nine!
