TVOKis - The Space (formerly known as '"The Crawlspace"') launched on April 1, 1994, on TVOntario, as a block of afterschool children's programming dedicated to being non-violent, commercial free, educational, and positive social role modelling. Since younger children are home earlier from school, the programming schedule includes 'younger' shows in the earlier time slots, and more 'mature' shows in the later slots.
