Found this article from AP news (this happens to be in the Detroit News website). Found this bit of the article interesting...
To tailor the cartoon block to make it more appropriate for young kids, the "Tickle U." block contains no shows longer than 11 minutes (most are closer to five minutes long). Commercials are shown only on the half-hours, not between every cartoon. And to encourage parents to watch along with their kids, the cartoons have what programmers call a "Mommy Bar" on the bottom of the screen with parenting tips and G-rated jokes for grown-ups.
Also loving this...
Cartoon Network executives insist the "Tickle U." block will be paced especially for young brains and that they're trying a new approach for preschool programming. Instead of trying to teach facts, like "Dora The Explorer" on Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network shows are simply aimed at making kids laugh.
