Fox Kids

Broadcasters

Fox Kids was an American children's programming brand, first used for a block of cartoons and live action series on the Fox television network and later for a slate of children's channels in other countries. The Saturday morning block began on September 8, 1990 and ran until September 7, 2002, with weekday afternoon programming added for most of that period. It began as a joint venture of News Corporation and its Fox affiliated stations, and was later partnered with Saban Entertainment inside the Fox Family Worldwide venture. The block was best known for the Power Rangers series and Bobby's World. Outside the United States the first Fox Kids channel opened in Australia in 1995, followed by the United Kingdom, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. After The Walt Disney Company bought Fox Kids Worldwide in 2001, the international channels were gradually relaunched as Jetix from 2004, and the American block was replaced by FoxBox.
