Jetix was a worldwide children's television network owned by The Walt Disney Company. It was aimed at children and teenagers, featuring a mix of animated and live-action programming. The channel was known for broadcasting popular shows such as Power Rangers, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.

History[edit | edit source]

Jetix was launched in 2004 as a rebranding of the Fox Kids network, which had been acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2001. The rebranding was part of Disney's strategy to create a unified global brand for its children's television channels. Jetix operated in various regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

In 2009, Jetix was gradually replaced by Disney XD, a new channel aimed at a similar demographic but with a stronger focus on action and adventure programming. The transition was completed by the end of 2009, and Jetix ceased to exist as a separate brand.
