I find fascinating that FOX Kids was still used as a name internationally as a placeholder. Even on program blocks too!

Well, they did have a branding licence to use the Fox Kids within Europe without a fixed term, they had to change to Jetix when they started making shows that also air in the U.S.

@RegularCapital
It's not dissimilar to many branding licence agreements found all over the globe, such as the C4 ones for the Bauer-branded music TV stations

Plus, a time lapse for a rebrand is needed, see Fox > Star in EMEA

It's no easy task to rebrand an established brand

Were there any plans in 2001 to launch Fox Kids in these markets?

-India/Sri Lanka

-South-East Asia
-Japan
-South-Korea
-Australia/New Zealand

Seeing this just unlocked so many memories.

Collection of Jetix NL and Fox Kids NL stuff.

Footage is probably from 1999 - 2008 as The Replacements where found on an Jetix sign-off bumper.

I'm assuming the Choice votes were TV shows chosen by the viewers.

 

[JulianRO]

Of course

Theorically yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if voting was rigged by the broadcasters (to show THEIR popular show) as some people have been able to prove by inspecting websites

Lol

If more EU feeds did it, it would lead to mayhem to be honest. Reminds me of how FOX Kids UK itself had a poll on the most favourite show and Power Rangers and Spiderman won by an absolute landslide. If they done a vote like this for the comedy shows it would probably be rigged to be the most popular one

When the UK version of Fox Kids launched, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan were considered at the time. Although, I think they would have rights issues for a quite a lot of Fox Kids shows in Southeast Asia and Japan much later on.

Fox kids enters crowded U.K. market

The launch of the Fox Kids Network in the U.K. on October 19 has many people wondering if there is any room left for another addition to an already crowded and competitive marketplace....

India eventually had a block in 2005 on Star One although, it was Jetix by then.

Indiantelevision.com's Kidology: Buena Vista inks deal with Star One for 'Jetix' block

Australia had Fox Kids very early in 1995, probably because of News Corp was technically an Australian company back then, it was also the very last Fox Kids channel that had any connection to Fox itself, as it was owned by Foxtel (News Corp/Telstra) and wasn't part of the Disney acquisition. There was obviously Fox Kids in Finland, but that was just a block.

Fox Kids Australia also had a unique logo after 2003, no other versions used it.

Pay TV giants gird for battle

The Australian pay TV business has entered another critical phase as two broadband cable networks are busy laying wires in the capital cities, and satellite-microwave operator Galaxy redoubles its efforts to woo subscribers. Talk to execs from the three rivals and all say they’ll win the battle...

Jetix Play advertisments with Russian audio (circa 2008-2009)

Jetix Play advertisments with Russian audio (circa 2008-2009)

Nancy's speech in The Kids from Room 402 promo includes a Turkish audio track. They made a very funny mistake. I wonder a few things:

1- Was the Russian text at the end of the ad (13:58) valid in all countries or was it without text in other countries? If I remember correctly, I would occasionally see Russian text in that ad ident while watching Jetix Play in Turkey.

2- I think Jetix Play's headquarters was in London, don't you think it's weird that the channel open broadcast with Turkish text? They broadcast in a lot of countries and they open broadcast with Turkish text. It would make more sense if it was just the Jetix Play Logo.

1- This was indeed on every single country that had Jetix Play! (shown in )
2- I think this was just a generic test card they had, It would of made sense for it to use Russian/Polish/Turkish/English/Arabic changing every 30 seconds but that didn't happen
3 (an extra)- At 47:14, logo plastering is found. Maybe Jetix Play had different masters?

wait, fox kids had their own kids choice award but in european countries, I wonder if latin america & australia has something similar to it
