CBS DREAM TEAM… IT'S EPIC! Adds A New Series To Its Saturday Morning Lineup

CBS announced today that the new series PET VET DREAM TEAM will join the CBS DREAM TEAM... IT'S EPIC! three-hour Saturday morning block beginning Saturday, April 7. THE LINEUP airs 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.

In addition, the Network announced that it has extended its partnership with Litton Entertainment with a five-year renewal of the CBS DREAM TEAM Saturday morning block through 2023. THE CBS DREAM TEAM lineup premiered in September 2013.

The CBS DREAM TEAM Saturday morning lineup is a diverse, family-friendly schedule featuring compelling shows and stories of hope and compassion designed to enlighten, teach and inspire viewers to make a greater commitment to themselves, their families and their communities. The block is FCC educational/informational-compliant, targeted to 13- to 16-year-olds and appealing to all viewers.

PET VET DREAM TEAM is a live-action, half-hour television program designed to meet the educational and informational needs of children aged 13-16. PET VET DREAM TEAM follows talented veterinarians Dr. Lisa Chimes and Dr. Andrew Marchevsky of the Small Animal Specialist Hospital (SASH), where they deal with compelling cases of infirm and injured pets. Viewers also see exotic animal expert Tim Faulkner in action at the Australian Reptile Park, where he cares for animals big and small, from crocodiles to koalas. Together, these three authorities race to cure their furry and feathered charges - educating viewers on a range of medical procedures and zoological practices along the way. As viewers catch a behind-the-scenes look at the veterinary profession, they also learn responsibility and empathy for animals of all kinds through the passionate work of the PET VET DREAM TEAM.

As of April 7, the CBS DREAM TEAM... IT'S EPIC! Saturday morning lineup will be:
