The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program has been awarded every year since 1985. Until 1993, the award was just known as the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program. Arthur holds the record for most nominations (11) and Arthur and Muppet Babies are tied for most wins (4). PBS has the most awards of any television network (8), recently picking up five accolades in the past six years.
Typically five nominees are announced, with the winner receiving the trophy at the ceremony. An exception was the 2006 ceremony, where six nominees were announced. At the 2010 ceremony, four nominees were announced. The last time this had occurred was two decades prior in 1990 and 1985, the first time the award was handed out. TV specials have been known to appear on the list, as well as shows appearing at multiple years, despite having lasted only one season.
