Tweens
1994 (Prelaunch)
Encore Family was originally intended to be called Tweens, before the network announced a naming contest in 1994 to allow the public to decide a name for the channel, which would end up being WAM!: America's Youth Network.
WAM!: America's Youth Network
1994–1997
In September 1994, Encore launched WAM!: America's Youth Network, along with True Stories & Drama and Action as the last of its original seven multiplex channels. Note that WAM serves as an acronym for "What Adults are Missing".
1997-2005
In 1997, "youth" was changed to "kidz" and the font of the slogan was changed.
Encore Wam

Wam was relaunched as Encore Wam, as part of a rebranding of the Encore multiplex to bring them in line with the main Encore channel in March 2005.
