Pre-history (1994–99)
In 1994, Lyrick Studios (which is now the began planning its own educational cable channel as a new home for most of its programming. The channel was to be called "Kids Land" and was planned to be Lyrick Studios's "own niche on the dial with shows that emphasize educational content"; but Lyrick Studios later abandoned the concept. Meanwhile, Disney Channel began planning an early interactive educational channel called "Disney Kids" but it was abandoned too. Eventually, however, by 1996, Disney Channel retooled the project into a package of educational programming that was to be syndicated to Broadcast TV Networks to help them meet the new requirements for educational programming, and the project was accidentally renamed "Warbler". The Walt Disney Company still liked the name however in 1997, Warbler would ultimately not launch as a syndication package, but by mid-1998, Lyrick Studios and Disney Channel would form a partnership, and Warbler was announced soon after as a joint venture between Lyrick Studios and Disney Channel with the goal of "[positioning] educational children's programs at the forefront of the digital cable movement". The channel was originally going to be launched in late-1999, but it wasn't good enough. So it launched in early-July in 2000.
