This is a recording of the Fox Kids Network probably from the year 1996. The shows have been cut out and the commercials, bumpers, idents, promos remain for historical, nostalgic and educational purposes.
Fox Kids (originally known as Fox Children's Network and later as the Fox Kids Network) was an American children's programming block and branding for a slate of international children's television channels. Originally a joint venture between the Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox) and its affiliated stations, it was later owned by Fox Kids Worldwide Inc. from 1996 to 2001, then by Fox Television Entertainment from 2001 onwards.
Fox Kids originated as a programming block that aired on the Fox network from the September 8, 1990, to September 7, 2002. The block aired on Saturday mornings throughout its existence, with an additional block on Monday through Friday afternoons airing until January 2002. Fox Kids is the only form of daytime television programming, outside of sports, aired by the Fox network to date. Following then-Fox parent News Corporation's sale of Fox Kids Worldwide to The Walt Disney Company in July 2001, Fox put the remaining Saturday morning timeslot up for bidding, with 4Kids Entertainment winning and securing the rights to program that period. The Fox Kids block continued to air in repeats until September 7, 2002, and was replaced the following week (on September 14) by the 4Kids-programmed FoxBox.
The first Fox Kids-branded television channel launched on October 1, 1995, on Foxtel in Australia. Beginning in 2002, the channels were gradually relaunched under the Jetix brand because of Disney's acquisition of Fox Kids Worldwide.
