Fox Kids was an American children's programming block that aired on the Fox Broadcasting Company that premiered on September 8, 1990 and ended on September 7, 2002, and a former brand name for a slate of international children's television channels. It was owned by Fox Television Entertainment beginning in 2001, and throughout its existence, the program block airing on Monday–Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
Depending on the show, the programming block was aimed at young children aged 6–11, and preteens ages 12–14. It continued to run repeats until September 7, 2002. At that time, Fox put the time slots up for bidding, with 4Kids Entertainment winning and securing the rights to program the Saturday morning block. Fox Kids had managed to achieve high ratings throughout its 12-year run and lived to be the longest running children's television block on U.S. broadcast television, until the record was surpassed by Kids' WB in 2008, which ended after 13 years.
