Universal Kids is the American children's television channel operated by NBCUniversal, created in 2017 when the preschool network Sprout was relaunched and expanded for older children. Its own commissions were presented under the Universal Kids Original banner, with a short ident played before those programmes so viewers could recognise them instantly. Clips of channel idents are widely shared online as soundboard sounds, and this sting has been reused out of context in edits and parodies where a formal TV introduction makes everyday footage feel unexpectedly official and important.
