Programming
Main article: Kingson/Additional info

Kingson, over the years produced multiple media and franchises which fit into its schedule. Nearly all programs on the channel are animated comedies, sitcoms, etc, while other programs included action or drama as the main genre.

Syndication
Kingson allows syndicated programming to air freely on the network. Any international programing is edited for American viewers. Channels such as BaconNetwork, Nickelodeon, EliSauce, and Toonport have been known to share syndication with shows.

Censorship
Kingson usually censors highly innapropriate scenes in shows. However unlike many other channels generally aimed torwards a younger audience, programs on Kingson are allowed more creative freedom and rights to be expressed in different ways. This has been part of many controversies surrounding the channel.

Profanity is usually censored, but since 2013, mild uses of profane language (including the word "bitch") have been allowed to be uncensored during from 5:00 pm to 6:00 am.

Blood and gore is often edited depending on how violent content is. The Sherry Show and SpaceWar 101 have infamously gotten into multiple edits over the years the shows have aired. No references torwards real life genocides or terrorism, suicide, or extreme brutal violent acts are allowed on the channel. Other than that, Kingson has surpassed the amount of freedom a certain program may have.

Content ratings
In the US, Kingson allows all television content ratings (TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-Y7-FV, TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14) excluding the TV-MA rating which is used for SPEED. Most programs in the channel are usually settled for the TV-PG rating, while ratings such as TV-14 programs are ultimately rare. Kingson allows all subratings including: D (dialogue), L (language) S (sexual exhibitions), and V (violence), but usually the certain program with a stricter rating will be edited.
