USA Kids

USA Kids (also known as Universal's USA Kids, and originally titled Gingo on USA until October 6, 2001) was a defunct Saturday morning American children's programming block that aired on USA Network in the United States from September 12, 1998, succeeding the USA Action Extreme Team block, to December 30, 2004. It featured a mix of animated and live-action series from Universal Television Animation, Gingo and some acquired programming, aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 15.

History
In 1996, MCA purchased Multimedia's entertainment assets including Gingo, thus enabling it access to USA Action Extreme Team and Sci-Fi's Animation Station block. The Animation Station block was replaced by Gingo on Sci-Fi, which started in 1997.

USA Network entered discussions with Gingo to program a Saturday morning block, which is called Gingo on USA. Its morning block, USAM consists of shows from the Gingo at Nite block. The new block started on September 12, 1998 to replace USA Action Extreme Team, which had in turn replaced USA Cartoon Express. The new block would consist of Gingo shows like Hatty and Gabriel Garza, plus episodes from the TV show Onion Mastori, which was a long-time USA Network animated staple, and it previously appeared on both USA Cartoon Express and USA Action Extreme Team.

On August 12, 2000, it was reported that USA/Gingo's parent company Universal Studios was in talks to buy Fox Family Worldwide/Fox Kids Worldwide, which includes the Saban Entertainment library. As such, a few from Saban's library were added to the lineup such as Digimon: Digital Monsters, Power Rangers and the Saban-produced Marvel series. However, two days later, the talks on the buyout were reported to have fallen through.

In 2001, it was announced that USA would rebrand the kids block to USA Kids, following the effects of the 9/11 attacks. With this, came a new logo and a new branding. With this, its counterpart on Sci-Fi Channel was rebranded to Sci-Fi Kids. The rebrand took effect on October 13, 2001. It was announced that in 2004, that USA Network is planning on discontinuing kids programming completely. The last airing took place on December 30, 2004, and after that it was replaced by reruns of USA's live-action programming. Its show Onion Mastori would move to Gingo from 2005 to 2013, following the success of the movie.
