History

=Fox Kids Europe=

==Formation==

In September 1995, Fox Broadcasting Company and Saban Entertainment announced they had formed a strategic partnership in the creation of children's programming networks worldwide under the Fox Kids umbrella. The networks would capitalise on Saban's library and Fox-parent News Corp's distribution strength.{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/1995/tv/features/fox-saban-morphin-into-kidvid-world-99129228/|title=FOX, SABAN MORPHIN INTO KIDVID WORLD|first=Joe|last=Flint|date=November 6, 1995}} The venture launched their first international Fox Kids Network branded channel in the United Kingdom on 19 October 1996.{{Cite web|url=https://the-media-leader.com/fox-kids-network-set-for-uk-launch/|title=Fox Kids Network Set For UK Launch - The Media Leader|date=September 17, 1996}}

After the successful launch of Fox Kids UK, five additional Fox Kids networks were launched between 1997 and 1999 for the Netherlands, France, Poland, Scandinavia and Spain.

On 1 April 1999, the Central and Eastern Europe feed was launched for the CIS and Baltic countries.[https://web.archive.org/web/20050911102637/http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/company_profile/business_lines/channels_and_online/channels_and_online2.html Channel Launches] //

==Expansion and going public==

Fox Kids Europe became a publicly traded company in November 1999 with Fox Family Worldwide holding a 75.7% majority stake and the other 24.3% being listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.

In 2000, five additional Fox Kids feeds launched: Italy, Turkey, Germany,https://web.archive.org/web/20010430013747/http://www.foxkidseurope.com/press_release.cfm?articleid=12291 Hungaryhttps://web.archive.org/web/20010512054650/http://www.foxkidseurope.com/press_release.cfm?articleid=12569 and the Middle East, while the Scandivanian feed was expanded to Iceland.https://web.archive.org/web/20010430015906/http://www.foxkidseurope.com/press_release.cfm?articleid=10241 These launches made Fox Kids the only children's entertainment company with a local channel in every major European market.

In late 2000, Saban Entertainment reconsolidated their European licensing subsidiary based in the United Kingdom, Saban Consumer Products Europe, as a subsidiary of Fox Kids Europe.{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2000/biz/news/fox-kids-euro-cuts-losses-as-revs-soar-1117779011/|title=Fox Kids Euro cuts losses as revs soar|first=Marlene|last=Edmunds|date=March 3, 2000}}

In February 2001, a Fox Kids feed was launched in Israel, while the Hungarian feed was extended to the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while launching in Russia as a programming block on free-to-air channel Ren TV. In June 2001, Fox Kids Europe announced that the Fox Kids brand had become the most widely distributed children's channel in Europe and the Middle East, reaching 24.9 million households and broadcasting in 54 countries through 11 channel feeds in 16 languages.

In the summer of 2001, the Italian Fox Kids channel launched a syndicated block for several local stations in Italy.{{cite web|title=TV Channel: K2 (Italy)|url=http://mavise.obs.coe.int/channel?id=7747|work=MAVISE|publisher=European Audiovisual Observatory|access-date=15 March 2013|archive-date=8 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008180227/http://mavise.obs.coe.int/channel?id=7747|url-status=dead}}

==Purchase by The Walt Disney Company==

On 23 July 2001, it was announced that The Walt Disney Company would purchase Fox Family Worldwide for $2.9 billion, which included FFW's majority stake in Fox Kids Europe, which was completed on 24 October 2001{{cite web|title=Disney buys Fox Family|url=http://cnnfn.cnn.com/2001/07/23/deals/fox_disney/|work=CNN Money|date=July 23, 2001|access-date=August 11, 2012}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/04/sports/tv-sports-abc-family-offers-familiar-espn-look.html|title=TV SPORTS; ABC Family Offers Familiar ESPN Look|last=Sandomir|first=Richard|date=2002-10-04|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-04-01|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}{{cite press release|url=http://www.saban.com/html/press/010723.html |title=News Corp. and Haim Saban Reach Agreement to Sell Fox Family Worldwide to Disney for $5.3 Billion |date=July 23, 2001 |work=Saban |access-date=2009-05-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090421070416/http://www.saban.com/html/press/010723.html |archive-date=21 April 2009 |url-status = dead}}{{cite news|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117854788.html?categoryid=14&cs=1&query=|title=Fox Family costs Mouse less cheese in final deal|date=Oct 24, 2001|work=Variety|access-date=2009-08-13 | first=Carl | last=DiOrio}} The original intention of The Walt Disney Company for the Fox Kids Europe networks after the acquisition was to rebrand all operations as Toon Disney, a channel that had very little distribution internationally,{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-jul-21-fi-24859-story.html|title=Walt Disney to Acquire Fox Family|website=Los Angeles Times|date=21 July 2001|first= Sallie|last=Hofmeister}} but this was cancelled, and the company was instead granted a non-fixed term license with 20th Century Fox Film Corporation to continue using the "Fox Kids" brand at no charge.{{Cite web |date=30 September 2002 |title=Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements |url=http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/investor_relations/annual_report/2002/pixs/PDF/notes.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060508190722/http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/investor_relations/annual_report/2002/pixs/PDF/notes.pdf |archive-date=8 May 2006 |website=Fox Kids Europe}}

In November 2001, a Greek service was launched with limited 13 hours following a 2-hour block launched in October.{{cite news|url=http://www.c21media.net/its-all-greek-to-fox-kids/|title=It's all Greek to Fox Kids|work=C21Media|date=2001-10-03|access-date=8 July 2019}}

On 21 March 2002, it was announced that Buena Vista International Television would take over television servicing from Saban International for the 6,300 episode Saban catalogue in Europe and the Middle East beginning in May.{{cite web | url=https://www.c21media.net/news/buena-vista-takes-sabans-fke-rights/feed/ | title=Buena Vista takes Saban's FKE rights }} FKE would continue to hold all television rights in Europe and the Middle East with Buena Vista servicing FKE's programme distribution activities to third-party broadcasters, while Buena Vista would handle all rights to Saban's catalogue not under Fox Kids Europe including rights outside of Europe and the Middle East.{{cite web | url=https://www.awn.com/news/buena-vista-distribute-fox-kids-saban-library | title=Buena Vista to Distribute Fox Kids' Saban Library }}

In December 2002, the company signed with BMG Europe for two Fox Kids Hits music compilation albums per year for 10 European markets.{{cite news|title=teams with BMG Europe for Fox Kids Hits music compilations|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-96135042.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141026100040/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-96135042.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 October 2014|access-date=18 March 2013|newspaper=Marketing Week|date=12 December 2002}}

In January 2003, Fox Kids Europe launched its first sister network, Fox Kids Play, in Poland.{{Cite web |title=Jetix Europe N.V.

In April 2003, Saban Consumer Products Europe was renamed as Active Licensing Europe.{{cite web | url=https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/03036727 | title=JETIX CONSUMER PRODUCTS UK LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK }}

On 11 June 2003, Fox Kids Europe announced that due to the low amount of original content being supplied following the October 2001 purchase of FFW, the company would increase the level of coproduction work with Disney to produce new programmes aimed at a young male audience that would air on Fox Kids networks in Europe and the Middle East and Disney networks in all other territories; alongside the increase of third-party acquisitions. The first agreement made out of the new strategy was a three-year deal with Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment to release Power Rangers and select Marvel shows in English-speaking territories. The company's CEO Bruce Steinberg also denied that the company would be rebranded under the Disney umbrella, by saying "Fox Kids Europe won't rebrand with Disney in its name. We're very different channel and that's why Disney bought us. We'll exploit other synergies, such as coproductions, consumer products and home video." The company also announced they had purchased out Fox Kids Israel to become fully owned and purchased back Israeli rights to Saban's library, both for $20.5 million.{{cite web | url=https://www.c21media.net/news/fke-ups-copros-after-supply-dries-up/ | title=FKE ups copros after supply 'dries up' }}

By 2003, Fox Kids Europe had extended to 34.8 million households in 57 countries through 12 channel feeds in 17 languages. In October 2003, it was announced that John de Mol Jr. had purchased a 5.1% stake in Fox Kids Europe.{{Cite web|url=https://www.telecompaper.com/nieuws/john-de-mol-neemt-belang-in-fox-kids-europe--597804|title=Telecompaper|website=www.telecompaper.com}} This stake was later expanded to 10.2%.

==Introduction and rebranding==

In January 2004, Fox Kids Europe, Fox Kids Latin America and the ABC Cable Networks Group agreed to rename its then current operations under a single brand, called Jetix,{{cite news|last=Edmunds|first=Marlene|title=Fox Kids, ABC cable jet to int'l Jetix kidvid pact|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-113758991.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105192024/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-113758991.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 November 2013|access-date=18 March 2013|newspaper=Daily Variety|date=9 January 2004}}{{cite web|last=Derrick |first=Stuart |url=http://www.marketingmagazine.co.uk/article/205805/licensing-fox-kids-readies-european-shake-up |title=Licensing: Fox Kids readies a European shake-up |work=Marketing Magazine |date=22 March 2004 |access-date=6 April 2016}} which helped strengthen its then operations into a single force. The Jetix name was chosen after the company conducted international research specifically with a number of children's focus groups. Many of the children chose the name as it implied action and adventure, and the company was able to use the name internationally due to its ambiguity. Bruce Steinberg, chairman and chief executive officer of Fox Kids Europe, explained that Jetix would help strengthen Fox Kids Europe's partnership with Disney while building new alliances to continue to successfully leverage its programming library and distribution.

The pre-launch period began with the launch of Jetix branded blocks on the Fox Kids networks which would transition to the rebrand once the name would become more familiar. The UK feed added the Jetix-branded block in April.{{cite news|last=Welsh|first=James|title=Fox Kids to be rebranded as Jetix|url=http://www.digitalspy.com/british-tv/news/a12962/fox-kids-to-be-rebranded-as-jetix.html|access-date=February 24, 2014|newspaper=Digital Spy|date=January 9, 2004}} The following month saw the subsidiaries begin to adopt the Jetix brand, with Active Licensing Europe becoming Jetix Consumer Products on 4 May 2004.{{cite web | url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2004/05/fox-kids-europe-licensing-division-becomes-jcp/ | title=Fox Kids Europe Licensing Division Becomes JCP | date=May 4, 2004 }} Following suit with Fox Kids Europe changing to Jetix Europe on 14 July 2004.{{cite press release|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040715141302/http://www.jetixeurope.com/press_release.cfm?articleid=17675|url=http://www.jetixeurope.com:80/press_release.cfm?articleid=17675|date=2004-07-14|publisher=Jetix Europe|archive-date=15 July 2004|title=Fox Kids Europe N.V. changes name to Jetix Europe N.V.|access-date=2019-07-08|url-status=live}}

The rebranding of the Fox Kids channels to Jetix began with the France channel's rebranding on 28 August 2004,campaignlive.co.uk.

In 2008, Jetix Europe licensed out Jetix France to The Walt Disney Company France and Disney-ABC-ESPN Television became its channel distribution partner. In February 2008, Jetix Europe was in talks to join affiliated companies, Disney Channel Europe, ESPN Europe and Disney–ABC International Television (DAIT), in their combined distribution sales unit.{{cite news|first=Tristan|last=O'Carroll|title=Disney overhauls European operations |url=http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/article/785258/disney-overhauls-european-operations?HAYILC=RELATED |newspaper=Media Week UK |date=20 February 2008 }} In June, Jetix Europe agreed to have DAIT take over distribution sales for all channels across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.{{cite news|author=Ann-Marie Corvin|title=Disney overhauls European operations |url=http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/article/815214/jetix-disney-tie-new-distribution-deal?HAYILC=RELATED |newspaper=Media Week UK |date=9 June 2008 }} In November, the Central and Eastern European channel team won gold in the U.K. Promax Awards for Jetix Max idents.{{cite news|last=Loveday|first=Samantha|title=Jetix CEE scoops gold at Promax Awards|url=http://www.licensing.biz/news/read/jetix-cee-scoops-gold-at-promax-awards/036079|access-date=2 May 2014|newspaper=Licensing.biz|date=4 November 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160423035005/http://www.licensing.biz/news/read/jetix-cee-scoops-gold-at-promax-awards/036079|archive-date=23 April 2016|url-status=dead}}

==Full purchase by The Walt Disney Company==

On 8 December 2008, Disney made an agreement to increase ownership in Jetix Europe to 96%, with intentions to purchase the remainder and have Jetix Europe delisted from the Euronext Amsterdam exchange.{{cite news|title=Disney moves for Jetix Europe takeover |url= http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/article/867865/disney-moves-jetix-europe-takeover |access-date=15 October 2013|newspaper=Media Week UK |date=8 December 2008}} By 2009, Disney had owned 99.8% of the company.{{Cite press release |title=Jetix Terminates Its Stock Exchange Listing |url=http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/press_office/press_releases/jetix_terminates_stock_exchange.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120114010211mp_/http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/press_office/press_releases/jetix_terminates_stock_exchange.html |archive-date=14 January 2012 |url-status=dead}}

On 15 July 2009, Jetix Europe subsidiary Jetix Italy S.r.l. announced that they would undergo a management buyout and rebrand as Switchover Media, and announced that they would purchase the GXT and K2 networks and blocks from The Walt Disney Company. The company also agreed to operate Jetix Italy for Disney until its rebranding as Disney XD Italy.{{cite news|title=Jetix Italy bosses buy GXT and K2 channels|url=http://www.digitaltveurope.net/4479/jetix-italy-bosses-buy-gxt-and-k2-channels/|access-date=14 March 2013|newspaper=digitaltveurope.net|date=July 16, 2009}}{{cite news|last=Moody|first=Annemarie|title=Jetix Italy Announces Management Buyout|url=http://www.awn.com/news/television/jetix-italy-announces-management-buyout|access-date=15 March 2013|newspaper=AWN News|date=July 15, 2009}}

Disney XD was expected to be introduced in European territories in 2009. Later, however, Disney announced that the Jetix channel in certain countries (Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, Bulgaria and Israel) would be rebranded as Disney Channel, marking that channel's first introduction in these countries. The change took place on 19 September 2009, in the CEE region.

On 19 September 2009, Disney Channel replaced Jetix in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. But the Russian feed was still broadcasting under the Jetix name until it was announced that a separate Disney Channel would launch. After the launch of Disney Channel in Romania and Bulgaria, the Jetix feed in Russia began to be independent and became localized, with Russian titlecards and banners with Russian hours.

The last Jetix channel to rebrand as Disney XD was the Dutch version on 1 January 2010.{{cite news|last=Briel |first=Robert |title=January launch for Dutch Disney XD|url=http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2009/11/25/january-launch-for-dutch-disney-xd/|access-date=28 April 2014|newspaper=Broadband TV News|date=25 November 2009}} The last Jetix channel to close was the Russian version, which was rebranded as Disney Channel on 10 August 2010. The Jetix Play channels soon followed suit in 2010 and 2011, being replaced with Playhouse Disney/Disney Junior.{{cite web|title=Jetix Play|url=http://mavise.obs.coe.int/channel?event=listing&query_clauses=%7B%22name%22%3A%22Jetix%20Play%22%2C%22status%22%3A%22all%22%7D|work=MAVISE|publisher=European Audiovisual Observatory|access-date=24 April 2014|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194353/http://mavise.obs.coe.int/channel?event=listing&query_clauses=%7B%22name%22:%22Jetix%20Play%22,%22status%22:%22all%22%7D|url-status=dead}}

Remnants of Jetix Europe continued until around 2012 to 2014, to shut down operations and as an overhang period to fully integrate Jetix into Disney. European Disney XD co-productions such as Rekkit Rabbit contained the Disney XD logo in the credits, with "Jetix Europe Properties SARL, Luxembourg, Zurich Branch" credited underneath.{{Citation|title=Rekkit - Ending 1|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJTd5EWR71Y|language=en|access-date=2021-12-01}}

As a legal entity, the UK subsidiary (which was mostly responsible for the operational side of Jetix) ended on 11 March 2019. However, other UK-based Jetix divisions, Jetix Entertainment Limited and Jetix Consumer Products UK Limited were operational until 20 April 2014, although by then Jetix's functions were already integrated into Disney. The Dutch subsidiary which mostly handled the corporate side of Jetix had its final shareholders meeting on 22 March 2012.{{Cite web|date=2017-08-08|title=INVITATION to an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Jetix Europe N.V.|url=http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/pdf/Invitation_AGM_FY_2011_Jetix_Europe_NV.pdf|access-date=2021-12-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170808015309/http://www.jetixeurope.com/site/pdf/Invitation_AGM_FY_2011_Jetix_Europe_NV.pdf|archive-date=2017-08-08}}
