Cartoons, Dusty's Treehouse, New Zoo Revue, plus the Our Gang and Three Stooges shorts), off-network sitcoms (such as The Brady Bunch), feature films, and public affairs programming. At one point, KKAR advertised itself as the "Bay Area's Movie Station" and aired a movie in prime time six nights a week. KKAR also aired hit first-run syndicated series including Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Arsenio Hall Show. Kids in the Pacific Northwest were introduced to Japaneseanime programs such as Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Robotech and Captain Harlock and the Queen of 1000 Years.
