Sci-Fi Kidz

Sci-Fi Kids (formerly Gingo on Sci-Fi Channel from 1997 to 1999 and Gingo on Sci-Fi from 1999 to 2001) was a defunct Saturday morning American children's programming block that aired on Sci Fi (now Syfy) from September 5, 1997 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.

After Sci-Fi Channel's previous block The Animation Station ended, they helped discussions with Gingo to program a Saturday morning block, which was originally announced as Gingo's Sci-Toons, before it was renamed to Gingo on Sci-Fi Channel. The new channel set to start on September 5, 1997, which primary consists of its unique animated and live-action science-fiction and fantasy programming aimed at kids. It was shortened to Gingo on Sci-Fi in 1999 and by 2000, Zina Supermoon became the primary show on the network.

In 2001, it was announced that Sci-Fi would rebrand the kids block to Sci-Fi Kids, following the effects of the 9/11 attacks. With this, came a new logo and a new branding. With this, its counterpart on USA Network was rebranded to Sci-Fi Kids. The rebrand took effect on October 13, 2001. It was announced that in 2004, that Sci Fi is planning on to discontinue kids programming completely. The last airing took place on December 30, 2004, and after that it was replaced by reruns of Sci-Fi live-action programming.
