Dear Fox Corporation and Hasbro Entertainment Leadership,

We, the undersigned television fans, animation enthusiasts, and parents, formally request that Fox Corporation enter into a strategic programming agreement with Hasbro Entertainment to officially relaunch the iconic children's programming block, Fox Kids.

The current television landscape lacks a unified, high-energy broadcast block for the next generation of youth. By combining Fox’s broadcast reach with Hasbro Entertainment’s world-class content library and distribution, you can revitalize Saturday morning and weekday afternoon traditions.

The Vision for the Revived Fox Kids Block
To capture the nostalgic energy of the original block while appealing to modern audiences, the revived Fox Kids block will feature a premier lineup of modern hits, action-packed anime, and beloved animated comedies, including:

• Action & Adventure: Sonic Prime, Sonic X, Mech Cadets, Kiya & The Kimoja Heroes, The Creature Cases
• Anime & Strategy: Beyblade X, Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!!, Digimon Adventure (2020), Bakugan (2023)
• Comedies & Family Favorites: The Cuphead Show!, Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City, Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese, Nate is Late, Kitti Katz, The Nutty Boy, Zig and Sharko, PJ Masks, Karate Sheep, Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation

The Signature Voice of the Block
To solidify the identity and branding of this new era, the block requires an iconic, high-octane voice. We officially petition to bring on Adam McArthur (current Disney XD voiceover announcer since 2017) as the permanent network voiceover announcer. His distinct, energetic tone will perfectly bridge the gap between classic Fox Kids hype and modern youth culture.

Why This Makes Business Sense

1. Unused Airtime: This partnership maximizes broadcast potential during traditional children's viewing windows.
2. Built-In Nostalgia: Millennial parents who grew up on Fox Kids will eagerly introduce this revived block to their own children.
3. Hasbro's Powerhouse Library: This collaboration gives Fox a turn-key, premium content strategy with established, market-tested global brands.

🕒 Proposed Broadcast Schedule

To maximize viewership and reach children before school, after school, and on the weekend, the revived Fox Kids block will operate on a strategic, high-traffic broadcast schedule across three key time slots (all times Eastern Time):

📡 Syndication and Market Distribution Strategy

To ensure 100% national coverage without disrupting local news commitments, the revived Fox Kids block will utilize a flexible syndication model.

While the block will serve as the default programming for the vast majority of local Fox stations, certain affiliates with heavy morning/afternoon local news commitments will opt out. In those specific markets, the Fox Kids block will clear on designated sister stations, MyNetworkTV affiliates, The CW affiliates, or independent stations.

1. Fox Affiliates Opting Out (Local News Markets)

Due to existing, high-rated local morning and afternoon news expansions, the block will not air on the Fox signal in the following markets:

• KTBC (Austin), WBRC (Birmingham), WGHP (Greensboro), KMSP-TV (Minneapolis), KPTV (Portland), KMSB-TV (Tucson), WJW-TV (Cleveland), WJBK (Detroit), WSVN (Miami), KSAZ-TV (Phoenix), WAGA-TV (Atlanta), KDFW (Dallas), WDAF-TV (Kansas City), WITI (Milwaukee), WFLD (Chicago), KABB (San Antonio), KMPH-TV (Fresno), KPTM (Omaha), WTVT (Tampa), and WABG-DT2 (Greenwood).  

2. MyNetworkTV Affiliate Clearances

In markets where the main Fox station opts out, the block will find a home on local MyNetworkTV stations, keeping the programming under the Fox Corporation umbrella:

• WPWR-TV (Chicago)

• KDFI (Dallas-Fort Worth)

• WFTC (Minneapolis-St. Paul)

• WATL (Atlanta)

• WFTC / WFTC-DT2 (Minneapolis)

• WABM (Birmingham)

• WMYV (Greensboro/Winston-Salem)

• KPDX (Portland)

• KBVO (Austin)

• WVTV-DT2 (Milwaukee)

3. The CW Affiliate Clearances

To maximize reach in top-tier markets, secondary distribution agreements will clear the block on prominent The CW affiliates:

• WBFS-TV (Miami)
• WBNX-TV (Cleveland)
• KFRE-TV (Fresno)
• KTTU-TV (Tucson)
• KPTM-DT3 (Omaha)
• WOAI-DT2 (San Antonio)

4. Independent Station Clearances

In key remaining territories, strong Independent broadcast stations will carry the Fox Kids banner:

• WMYD (Detroit)

• KMCI-TV (Kansas City)

• KASW (Phoenix)

• WMOR-TV (Tampa-St. Petersburg)

📈 Benefit to Broadcasters

This hybrid distribution model guarantees that advertisers reach the maximum number of households. It protects the lucrative local news blocks of major Fox-owned stations while breathing new life, ratings, and ad revenue into secondary market affiliates on weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings.

We urge Fox Corporation and Hasbro Entertainment to bring back the magic of appointment television for kids. Bring back the energy. Bring back Fox Kids.
