Ever wonder what happened to Eek and Sharky?

Well, sit right back and listen to this yarn:

Before October 2001, Fox Kids (officially Fox Family Worldwide, Inc) was a 50-50 joint venture between News Corporation Limited and Haim-Saban. The ABC Family Channel was at that point known as Fox Family Channel, and all the channels now branded Jetix were called Fox Kids. Fox Kids had itself been founded in 1996 as a merger between the US Fox Childrens Entertainment and Haim Saban's Saban Entertainment, Inc. In October 2001, Saban and News Corp sold the group to The Walt Disney Company. The brand announced the change of name to Jetix in January, 2004.

Until 2002, the brand had the rights to the children's programming slot on the Fox Broadcasting Company television network, however after the sale, that slot was sold to 4KidsEntertainment. The slot, initially known as the "FoxBox" is now named 4KidsTV. However some Jetix programs are broadcast on the American Broadcasting Company  television network, under the ABC Kids brand. It is also broadcast on the Toon Disney network, much to the chagrin of many viewers.

Now Jetix is international and its programming, including old and new alike are available around the world. Do a simple search on the internet for Jetix and Eek, you can find many countries still airing Eek (and there is a shockwave game, both in Dutch and French that I would love to host here in English. Any takers?)
