Sky One Undun's lineup included some of the Marvel cartoons and Power Rangers. Since these were made by Saban, which owned Fox Kids, they moved to the new channel when it launched. Undun lasted 14 months, from September 1st 1995 to October 18th 1996. With FK taking over most of the shows after that, Sky were left with just a few old cartoons and PR wannabe Superhuman Samurai SyberSquad. Their kids output didn't recover until they obtained the rights to Pokemon.

There was an original children's comedy series set in a spooky house aswell I think? I vaguely remember the kids from that in trailers for Undun, promoting the button symbol that would appear in the Sky Magazine.
Kids TV lived on with Sky One, mornings, extended out to lunchtime on Weekends and Holidays until at least the demise of ITV Digital in 2002. At one stage I used to get up (really) early before school and watch Classic Brookside and a couple of episodes of Stingray. They also had Pokemon ahead of CiTV which was a big deal at the time.

I remember Stingray being in Sky One in 2002 and early 2003 now you have mentioned it. I had also forgotten about Pokemon - my brother was fascinated by the series and characters in the mid to late 90s.
It took the Sky One kids line up a couple of years to recover after Fox Kids launched. Pokemon's defection to Cartoon Network (it's now on Disney XD) was the last straw.
