History
Fox Kids was launched in September 8, 1990 as Fox Children's Network as a block on Fox, but then it became a television channel in 1996. In 1991, the block was renamed Fox Kids Network. And then in 1998, the block/channel was rename simply as Fox Kids, dropping the word Network. Fox Kids had managed to achieve high ratings for most of its twelve year run.

However in 2001, Saban sold the Fox Family (which included Fox Kids) to the Walt Disney Company due to low ratings. Fox Kids began to dissolve starting with September 7, 2002 in the United States (the Fox Kids block in Fox was renamedFox Box, which was renamed 4Kids TV), however Disney kept Fox Kids emissions without any change until 2004, where the channel was finally replaced by Jetix (which was replaced by Disney XD in 2009). The last remaining Fox Kids in the world to close was in Germany in January 10, 2005.

However, Fox Kids was revived as block on Fox, but only in Finland since 2012.
