UPN's Weekday Mayhem

UPN's Weekday Mayhem was an American children's programming block that aired on UPN from September 1, 2003, to September 15, 2006. It is a spin-off of both Gingo (owned by Universal Studios) and USA Kids and featured animated series from Universal Television Animation aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 14. Airing on Sunday through Friday afternoons, the block aired for two hours from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day, though the block had also aired on Sunday mornings from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.

History
In 1998, UPN and Universal Studios entered a deal to program a kids programming block as a spin-off of Gingo, though it never happened, and in the meantime, UPN and Disney resumed discussions to do Disney's One Too.

In January 2003, UPN revisited discussions with Universal Studios and the following month, Universal agreed to develop a weekday and Sunday morning children's block for the network. The new lineup, was originally announced under the name "UPN Grind", before being renamed to UPN's Weekday Mayhem. It consists of various Gingo and Universal Studios animated series, like Onion Mastori, Zina Supermoon and Gabriel Garza. The new block debuted on September 1, 2003.

Following the merger of UPN and The WB, it severed ties with NBC Universal, which caused the block to shut down. It was aired for the final time on September 15, 2006, and it was subsequently replaced by The CW Daytime.

Programming
In most markets, UPN affiliates carried the block Monday through Fridays from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. (in all time zones). However, some stations (such as WWOR-TV in New York City, KCOP-TV in Los Angeles, KTVD in Denver and WSBK-TV in Boston) aired the weekday block in the morning from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m.
