Back in the late 90's-early 2000's, ABC would, at least once a year on a Saturday afternoon, show a 90 minute block of 3 episodes of a Disney TV cartoon (Usually one that aired as part of the Disney's One Saturday Morning block also on ABC.) as part of what they called the "ABC Saturday Matinee".
Whenever this was supposed to be shown, my local ABC affiliate, KMBC-TV, Ch. 9 in Kansas City, MO, would air it on a Saturday afternoon, between 12PM-1:30PM, right immediately after the Disney's One Saturday Morning block on ABC & in place of episodes of Popular Mechanics for Kids, Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures & whatever usually aired at 1PM on Saturday afternoons on KMBC-TV whenever ABC didn't have any sports programming.
When I saw this, they would start the block off with an open that was a modified version of the "ABC Big Picture Show" open with the Saturday Matinee byline replacing the Big Picture Show byline.
One Disney TV cartoon that I remember getting the ABC Saturday Matinee treatment was Disney's House of Mouse.
I also seem to vaguely remember ABC also doing this, pre-1997, under a different title.
I am just curious if anyone else here remembers ABC doing this & what other ABC affiliates, besides KMBC-TV, Ch. 9 in Kansas City, MO, cleared this occasional programming block?
(Sorry for the clickbaity title, I wanted to make it longer but the site wouldn't let me.)
