Not to be confused with Channel U (Singapore), an Chinese-language television channel owned by Mediacorp.
Tickle-U is a defunct weekday morning preschool programming block that aired on Cartoon Network (and, for a brief time, on sister channel Boomerang), featuring domestic and foreign-imported series targeted at preschool-age children; it, like competitors Nick Jr., PBS Kids, Milkshake!, TVO Kids, Treehouse TV and Playhouse Disney, existed on account of Cartoon Network's primary audience of children and teenagers attending school during the block's airtime. Tickle-U debuted on August 22, 2005, finaling until December 2005, after which, the block and its hosts were soon removed, though the shows continued to air on Cartoon Network. The promos for the shows featured on the block had Tickle-U branding, along with the mascots of the block, removed and were replaced by shots of the main view of the Heartlake City from LEGO Friends: Girls on a Mission.[1]
