History
Fox Kids began broadcasting in Israel in February 2001, initially operating as a joint venture between Fox Kids Europe and Middle East Communication Holdings B.V., the latter of which held the distribution rights to the Saban Entertainment catalogue in Israeli territories.[3] The first company to carry the channel was Golden Channels, with an April 1 launch date, and, as of January 2001, was waiting for negotiations with Matav and satellite company Yes. The channel initially broadcast from 6am to 6pm and had its playout at the Meimad Television Studios.[4] In June 2003, Fox Kids Europe took full control of both the network and the Saban catalogue.[5]
Fox Kids was later rebranded to Jetix in March 2005.[6]
On 9 September 2009, Jetix was replaced with Disney Channel.[7][2] Disney Channel mainly aired programming from its US counterpart, as well as local content such as Balagan. In 2011, its sister, Disney Jr., was launched on Yes,[8] and later on HOT on 27 November 2013.[citation needed]
