Bear Bones Lineup

The Bear Bones Lineup (also known 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 syndicated by Claster Television and Tribune Entertainment. National ad sales for the syndicated blocks were handled with barter basis available. Ads were stitched together between different programs throughout the block.

Precursor (1991-95)
In 1987, following the split of Bear Bones Productions from Taft Entertainment, the studio tapped into a deal with distributors Claster Television and Tribune Entertainment to produce and distribute original content for syndication. During this deal, Claster would distribute Bear Bones' series to local stations while Tribune would provide syndication sales. After Claster departed from the deal in late 1995, Bear Bones formed a new deal with Tribune Entertainment.

Bear Bones Lineup (1996-2005)
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 older 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 outperformed 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 network launched in September 2001, with the existing programming block being rebranded into the Tribune Kids' Zone, which ran until 2005, when Tribune discontinued the block in order to extend of their deal with DiC Entertainment.
