EXO (block)

EXO is a Saturday morning children's and preteen television block. It is produced by Sundown Entertainment via Nightway Productions and Firebasket Studios, via Firebasket Broadcasting.

On March 28, 2016, it was announced that the block will rebrand as Morning Action later in the year. The block officially rebranded itself with new graphics and a new logo on December 3, 2016. For 2017, the block expanded by an hour, from 7am to 11am. It later expanded to 6am-11am, however this was reversed a few months later. An official press release has said that they will rebrand the block and add a weekday morning/afternoon block, named Exo.

In 2023, it was announced that the block will move from Sundown Entertainment/Nightway Productions and Firebasket Broadcasting to Beta Cartoon Productions and Beta Cartoon International starting in June of 2023.
