Originally, these were limited to Encore Westerns and Encore Family (as WAM!/Encore Wam), consisting of classic western series from the 1950s to the 1970s on the former, and imported series aimed at children and teenagers on the latter channel (after Encore Wam stopped carrying acquired programming in 2009, sister channel Starz Kids & Family later incorporated some series programming onto its schedule that are aimed at the same target audience as those that were carried by Wam). </p><p>Currently, Starz Encore Westerns carries the classic western series <i><a href="/wiki/Bonanza" title="Bonanza">Bonanza</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Gunsmoke#Television_series_(1955%E2%80%931975)_and_TV_movies" title="Gunsmoke">Gunsmoke</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Have_Gun_%E2%80%93_Will_Travel" title="Have Gun – Will Travel">Have Gun – Will Travel</a></i>. Just prior to its rebranding as Encore Suspense, Encore Mystery eventually added acquired mystery series to its schedule (such as <i><a href="/wiki/The_Alfred_Hitchcock_Hour" class="mw-redirect" title="The Alfred Hitchcock Hour">The Alfred Hitchcock Hour</a></i>). With the 2013 rebranding and refocusing of what had been Encore Drama and Encore Love as Encore Black and Encore Classic, both channels added series fitting their respective formats in weekdaily blocks. Encore Black currently carries the classic African American sitcoms <i><a href="/wiki/What%27s_Happening!!" title="What's Happening!!">What's Happening!!</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Amen_(TV_series)" title="Amen (TV series)">Amen</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Diff%27rent_Strokes" title="Diff'rent Strokes">Diff'rent Strokes</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/227_(TV_series)" title="227 (TV series)">227</a></i>;<sup id="cite_ref-blackclassic_102-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-blackclassic-102"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>101<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while Encore Classic airs the classic sitcoms <i><a href="/wiki/Murphy_Brown" title="Murphy Brown">Murphy Brown</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Night_Court" title="Night Court">Night Court</a></i>; and crime dramas <i><a href="/wiki/Magnum,_P.I." title="Magnum, P.I.">Magnum, P.I.</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/The_A-Team" title="The A-Team">The A-Team</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-blackclassic_102-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-blackclassic-102"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>101<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Encore Black began airing <i><a href="/wiki/The_Jeffersons" title="The Jeffersons">The Jeffersons</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Sanford_and_Son" title="Sanford and Son">Sanford and Son</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Good_Times" title="Good Times">Good Times</a></i> on December 1, 2015.<sup id="cite_ref-103" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-103"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>102<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Starz Encore Family airs classic animated children's shows such as <i><a href="/wiki/Garfield_and_Friends" title="Garfield and Friends">Garfield and Friends</a></i> and various ex-<a href="/wiki/DIC_Entertainment" title="DIC Entertainment">DIC Entertainment</a> shows like <i><a href="/wiki/Heathcliff_(1984_TV_series)" title="Heathcliff (1984 TV series)">Heathcliff</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Inspector_Gadget_(1983_TV_series)" title="Inspector Gadget (1983 TV series)">Inspector Gadget</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Liberty%27s_Kids" title="Liberty's Kids">Liberty's Kids</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Adventures_of_Sonic_the_Hedgehog" title="Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog">Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog</a></i> until November 30, 2020. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Branding">Branding</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Starz_Encore&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Branding" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-4 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-4"> <p>Throughout the network's history, Encore's logo has included a <a href="/wiki/Starburst_(symbol)" title="Starburst (symbol)">starburst</a> mark. In the original logo used from 1991 to 1994, the starburst appeared within the "O" in the channel's name, which was rendered in uppercase and similar in design to sister network Starz's 2008 logo design – the mark was then revamped into a box design in 1994. The logo was simplified for the 1999 rebrand, removing the box design and turning the starburst into a line artwork above the "encore" logotype; the basic design was carried over in the 2005 revamp. On December 1, 2013, Encore introduced a new text-only logo, dropping the starburst mark included in its branding since its launch. In accordance with the rebrand, feature presentation bumpers were dropped across the Encore channels, with programs prefaced only by a graphic informing viewers of the program airing next. </p> <div
