, known as Kids' WB Radio until 2016, is an American radio network that is owned by Warner Bros. Global Kids &amp; Young Adults, a WarnerMedia company. It was founded on September 9, 1995.

History
In 1994, a year before even premiered, Warner Bros. wanted to come up with their new family-friendly radio network. Eventually, the radio was launched alongside the Kids' WB block the next year.

In 1996, Warner Bros. decided to move the operations of the station to Turner Broadcasting System, then recently merged with its parent company Time Warner, allowing the station to incorporate content based on Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network properties.

In 1998, Kids' WB Radio became a 24/7 hour radio station. It would not sign off again until 2001 during September 11, 2001.

In 1999, the first ever Kids' WB Radio Awards was hosted on The WB on June 18, 1999 at 7pm (6pm eastern) and has aired every year since then, and in 2006, after The WB ended, it briefly moved to TNT for three years until moving to The CW in 2010 where the awards would air since then. In 2016, to concide with the station's relaunch as WB Kids Radio, the Kids' WB Radio Awards were renamed to WB Kids Radio Awards.

On 2016, it was confirmed that Kids' WB Radio would be revamped as WB Kids Radio. That rebrand took effect starting on August 5th, 2016.

In 2017, it was announced that WB Kids Radio would get its own app for the first time.
