Kids’ WB is an Australian children’s television programme currently hosted by Lauren Phillips and Shane Crawford, which premiered on Nine Network on 16 September 2006. It is based on the US television block of the same name with the addition of hosted content, which was absent in its American counterpart. It was originally hosted by Georgia Sinclair and Shura Taft. The show is a television block which airs on weekend mornings and weekday afternoons, mainly consisting of cartoons and locally hosted variety-style segments, filmed at GTV-9 in Melbourne, and occasionally on location at Warner Bros. Movie World in Queensland. The show does not air over December and January.
On 20 August 2011, Kids' WB celebrated its 200th episode.
