NEW YORK, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- CBS plans to target Saturday mornings toward older children by replacing Nick Jr. shows with programs from DIC Entertainment.
The new "CBS' Secret Saturday Morning Slumber Party" will feature shows such as "Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego," "Sabrina: The Animated Series," "Madeline" and "Strawberry Shortcake," MediaWeek.com reported Monday.
Gone will be the lineup aimed at preschoolers and very young children such as "LazyTown," "Go, Diego, Go!," "Dora the Explorer," "The Backyarigans," "Little Bill" and "Blue's Clues."
A CBS spokeswoman said the move will comply with the Federal Communications Commission requirement for programming melding educational value with entertainment value.
Several of the shows included in the DIC library either have been seen or are currently seen on public television.
