History
Prior to 1993, TBN's Saturday morning children's block had no branding. Commercial breaks during the block primarily featured public service announcements, interstitials encouraging viewers to support Christian television, and TBN promos. On May 22, 1993, TBN re-branded its children's block as Kids Club and introduced two new shows to the block; Curtain Climbing Kids Club and Kids Like You. The public service announcements and "support Christian television" interstitials were replaced with newer interstitials targeted to kids, as well as scenes from the Curtain Climbing Kids Club TV series.
On March 30, 2002, the Curtain Climbing Kids Club TV series aired for the final time on the block, but interstitials related to the series continued to air. On December 24, 2005, TBN re-branded its Saturday morning block as Smile of a Child TV, but on TBN, the block itself from the Smile of a Child TV block started to be used on October 7, 2006.
