programming in the United States programming just as in the morning time slots, or on every network that has cartoons. In September 2006, Ion Television launched Qubo, which was a three-hour block of programming (and accompanying digital subchannel) that originally aired on Wednesday through Friday afternoons – the E/I-compliant block has since moved to other time periods, and since settling on Friday mornings (airing from 8:00 to 11:00 am. Eastern Time, a time period during which most children are in school), in October 2012.
