Bear Bones Lineup

The Bear Bones Lineup (also known formerly as Bear Bones TV or known on air as simply Bear Bones) was a created-for-syndication two-hour animated television programming block produced by Bear Bones Productions and was syndicated by Tribune Entertainment. National ad sales for the syndicated blocks was handled with barter basis available. Ads could have been stitched together between different programs throughout the three blocks.

History
On January 23, 1996, animation studio Bear Bones Productions announced to launch an animation-focused television programming block for syndication in association with Tribune Entertainment. Under the arrangement, Tribune would be in charge of handling advertising sales and distribution for the new block. The block would show reruns of previous series, acquired content, as well as new series created for the block.

The Bear Bones Lineup debuted on syndication on August 23, 1996, airing on Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (the block was structured to air in all time zones, airing on a tape delay outside of the Eastern Time Zone, to adjust the recommended airtime of the block to each zone, and thus during its first five years an exact timeslot for its programs was not announced on-air). With its 4 feeds, Bear Bones Lineup was on Fox, The WB, UPN and independent stations and out performed the networks' Saturday blocks by November 16. On August 23, 1997, the Saturday block was extended by one hour, airing from 8:00 a.m. to Noon Eastern Time.

Bear Bones Channel
On March 20, 2001, Bear Bones announced the launch of the Bear Bones Channel, a relaunching of the Bear Bones Lineup block that would serve as a new digital cable and satellite channel in the United States, as well as the new brand for the 22 existing Bear Bones Lineup-branded cable channels and program blocks worldwide. The syndicated Bear Bones Lineup block ended its nine-year run on March 28, 2005, with the last program to air being an episode of Kakegurui at 4:30 p.m. Central Time. In its later years, the Bear Bones Lineup became an unnamed block with third-party content, running until 2004.

Several former Bear Bones Lineup series were carried over to the relaunched channel including Sarah and her Amazing Pals, BBTV, and The Kidriends, while new series launched on the Bear Bones Channel. In addition, PrimeNight, a late night block targeted towards teens and adults, was launched every night from 9 p.m. EST to 3 a.m. EST and carried adult series including Really Surreal and Eggycity.
