History
SPBC K was launched on 1 April 2000 at 09:00 as a digital terrestrial television channel on the LiberoView platform, with initial presenters Jonas Ricci and Emma Napolitano. The first program to air on this channel was SpongeBob SquarePants, which also turned out to be the Siarlabarian TV premiere of the show. The launch was also simulcasted on SPBC 1. On 01 January 2001, SPBC K started broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen.

On 03 April 2001, SPBC K launched a preschool television block under the name SPBC Junior, which airs from 8:00am to 12:00nn.

During the channel's 5th anniversary on 1 April 2005, a new branding was introduced. It was designed by Brand New School.

In 2006, the channel started airing television shows that are aimed to teenagers. Notable shows include Degrassi: The Next Generation, Malcolm In The Middle, Bob and Margaret, Dilbert, and Baby Blues, as well as The N/TEENick shows such as Drake & Josh and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

On 5 March 2009, a new logo and branding for SPBC K was introduced. The logo was designed by Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv. There were some criticism from long-time viewers when the new logo was introduced on-air. Despite this, the logo became popular among long-time viewers and new viewers of the channel.

On 03 June 2016, SPBC K began airing young adult programming under the SPBC K After Dark block, which airs from 10:00pm to 5:00am.
