Anyone remember the old "BKN" syndicated block? Here's a video of their logo:

If anyone remembers, feel free to post here. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody responds, since BKN is a rather obscure effort.

    There is another BKN logo I saw on Extreme Ghostbusters. The one you mentioned I remember seeing on Mummies Alive after the intense KIB (Kid in Bed 1990) logo. The Bohbot Kids Network.

      I remember two BKN logos, one of which was a break bumper:

      One had the letters in the logo spinning onto the screen over a blue curtain. The letters explode, releasing what appears to be pennies. This was the break bumper.

      The "BKN" logo floats above the Earth. It eventually explodes. This used to come on after "Monster Rancher" on Fox.

      I don't know what was with BKN's affinity for obliterating their logo. :confused:

      By the way, if you remember the BKN logo from Extreme Ghostbusters, tell me what it was like, marshmannes.

        I didn't even remember it until I saw the logo, and it brought back some memories. I think it was only one hour of programming usually in the early morning.

          The other logo consists of the letters over a blue curtain, but not exploding and with a generic theme with an Elvis voice at the end that says "Thank you very much."

              I remember the BKN marquee logo and the one they use to show after Monster Rancher.

                Whenever I see that BKN logo, I usually say to myself, "Who is BKN?"


                BKN was a syndicated cartoon block that aired from 1992 to 2001. It was originally "Amazin' Adventures" before it became BKN. BKN was owned by Bohbot Entertainment, which has since changed its corporate name to "BKN". According to Wikipedia, BKN aired on the Sci-Fi Channel at one point. I'm actually surprised to get this much response to this thread, since I expected that half of you would have no idea what BKN was (I'd understand why, since any and all of its affiliates were either affiliated with Fox, UPN or The WB, my BKN station was UPN).

                      Didn't BKN distribute the Sonic series (not SAT AM)?
