Bumper's Block

Bumper ' s Block was a children's programming strand that aired on Vision Network on Saturday nights from 7:00p.m. to 10:00p.m. It was the Saturday equivalent to Kiddie Time!, a Sunday night strand that aired during the same period.

The strand debuted in September 1991 and ended its final run on 14th June, 1997. However, when KT launched as a programming block on 7th September, 1998, it used near identical idents to Bumper ' s Block until they were replaced with new ones on 16th February, 2004. Also, many of the strand's programming was eventually carried over to KT, which itself closed on 16th November, 2008.

Criticism
During its initial run, Bumper ' s Block was criticised for running too late for a children's programming block on a flagship terrestrial television channel, with many viewers suggesting that it should be moved to a later time slot. However, TVVC defended the late time slot, stating that it encouraged children and families to watch entertaining programming together.
