Old International Fox Kids/Jetix Channels Memorial Thread

[Two Two's]

@Francisque @Two Two's can you confirm if fox kids/jetix Italy was in Africa at one point?

Sadly, no. The network was a joint venture between Sky Italy and Fox Kids/Jetix Europe. As far as I know it was only on Sky Italy.

Boing France was (in Francophone Africa) but no clue about Boing Italy, if you had a satellite, you could get it for free though.

?
No, why should it have?

@Two Two's AFAIK Sky has nothing to do with Fox Kids, it didn't even exist in Italy in 2001

And no, Boing Italy wasn't available in Africa

That would have happened if Italy established earlier in the Scramble for Africa and gained more territories, and consequently there would be a need for the African pay-TV companies to have Italian packages, DSTV launching SuperSport in Italian...

Must of been something that happened later on, because I do remember hearing that Jetix was a joint-venture in Italy.

First time I hear of this. Outside Boing and Cartoonito (Mediaset + Turner/WBD joint venture), the other case I can think was a short (?) period in which Super! wa a De Agostini and Paramount JV'd channel. But I'm kinda hazy on the latter fact, now that I think...? So don't take that as granted.

Add this with that fact the feed is weirdly sparce of content, and you have a recipe for disaster.

I noticed something today: Monster Buster Club, which once aired on Jetix, is now airing on Çocuk Smart in Turkey. (They've re-dubbed it into Turkish. I think the previous dub was probably deleted.)

The previous dub was most likely tied to Jetix Europe and only allowed to air on Jetix.

After Jetix, Minika GO was aired. Also, several Jetix programs (Transformers Animated and Monster Buster Club) were aired on Minika in 2011. Both programs had the same Turkish dubbing as when they aired on Jetix. In other words, there has been no change to the Turkish dub.

Years later I saw Jetix logo on TV

I think that the promo was done a bit hastily.

Here's one interesting thing: While Buena Vista International always had distribution rights to Jetix library in both EMEA (i.e. Jetix Europe territories) and rest of the world, for some reason (probably legal one?) the agreements with local terrestrial networks were always separate from the ones concerning other Disney product as noted in the following C21 Media articles:

BV licenses Jetix programming block to Polsat

LA SCREENINGS: Buena Vista International Television has secured multi-year agreements to bring a wide range of first-run and library features, US network series, TV movies and new Jetix programming to Polsat viewers across Poland.

That website has a lot of mistakes. They must have mistaken Honeybee Hutch for Maya the Bee.

Maya the Bee didn't air at all on Dutch television in 1997-2004.

Checking if you're human... Please wait.

Probably because Disney back then was two-tier in its offering, same with their pay-TV structure, and the fact that Jetix and Disney Channel were effectively two different brands. Networks may want a volume licencing deal for Disney programming, but not Jetix programming, and vice-versa.

This is a video of a promo of the EE feed's rebranding to DC. The main reason for uploading it here was because of the description; is this true?


Also, tangentially related; did the CEE and EMEA feeds always have an English audio track when they first became Jetix, or was it eventually added into the era?

I saw Fox Kids CEE 2002 recordings in English.

In 2001, there was an interview with Kakhaber (now CEO of Disney CEE) where he said that in 1999 English was the main language for about half a year.

That explains why its shows never aired on Disney Kids on SIC.

Except Marvo the Wonder Chicken, its shorts aired there. DC PT never aired Jetix content.
