In May 2006, NBC Universal and Ion Media Networks announced plans to form Qubo, a joint venture in conjunction with Corus Entertainment, Scholastic Corporation, Classic Media, and its subsidiary Big Idea Entertainment. The multi-platform programming endeavor, aimed at children between 4 and 8 years of age, would comprise children's program blocks airing on NBC, Spanish-language sister network Telemundo and Ion Media's i: Independent Television (now Ion Television), as well as a 24-hour digital multicast channel on Ion Media's owned-and-operated stations (alternatively known as Qubo Channel), video-on-demand services, and a branded website. This block was launched on September 9, 2006. This block ceased broadcasting on June 30, 2012 for NBC, and July 1 of that year for Telemundo, being replaced by NBC Kids and MiTelemundo the following Saturday, leaving Ion Television as the only network to retain a Qubo-branded children's block before and after the E.W.

On March 6, 2024, NBC announced that Universal Kids on NBC would be discontinued due declining ratings of the block and the Universal Kids channel and replaced by a new Saturday morning children's programming block that would revive the NBC Kids brand, reaimed at preschoolers and teenagers and produced by DreamWorks Television Animation and NBCUniversal Syndication Studios. It uses the 2022 NBC logo, but with "kids" in lowercase placed next to it in the four colors from the peacock symbol, red, purple, blue and green. The outline is also added around the peacock, serving as a nod to the 1986 logo design.
The revived NBC Kids brand uses the NBC Tinker Pro typeface, an updated and expanded version of NBC Tinker for its promos. The block first aired on September 14, 2024.
