Kids.TV is a new daily children's programming block distributed by Sinclair Broadcast Group as a replacement for KidsClick. Unlike KidsClick, Kids.TV distributed with ad sales by Tribune, Debmar Mercury, Warner Bros Domestic Television Distribution and 20th Television.

History
On Friday, March 29, 2019, KidsClick announced on Facebook that the block would air for the last time on March 31. Several factors, including low overall ratings and a major lack of advertisers (the entire block, outside of some direct response television advertisers, featured commercial breaks with only circular promotions for the KidsClick block and web presences), the failure of the merger between Sinclair and Tribune Media that would have provided better financial scale to justify the block, the move of the national subchannel clearance to the lower-profile TBD, the general move of children's media to streaming venues, and most children's media on broadcast television being marginalized to a compressed mid-teenage audience to avoid the most onerous E/I and COPPA regulations, likely played large roles in the discontinuation of the block. Sinclair also discontinued sister property Circa News three days previous, suggesting the company is discontinuing some low-profile assets and focusing on other properties such as their streaming service Stirr (which never launched a streaming channel of KidsClick content).[15]

KidsClick ended quietly on March 31, 2019 with an airing of Oggy and The Cockroaches; all advertising made no mention of its demise, and the promotional spot at the end of the show mentioned it would return Saturday morning. For the vast majority of stations carrying it, temporary or permanent paid programming, religious programming, other syndicated content, or alternate E/I-complaint shows will overlay the former timeslot, while paid programming and some internet-originated content series replaced it on TBD. Several days later, the block's website was taken down, with the domain redirected to the main Sinclair corporate page. But on April 2, It was announced that Kids.TV will be a replacement for KidsClick with WB, Fox, Debmar Mercury and Tribune as a adsale distributers. It was launched on April 6, 2019(the Saturday after KidsClick ended on March 31)
