Saban Brands, the parent company that is behind Power Rangers, has worked out a deal (pending court approval) to purchase the 4Kids! Saturday Morning TV Block. This would mark Saban's return to running a block of children's programming not seen since Saban left that market back with Fox Kids in 2001.

Keep in mind that Saban Brands has already been working hard to acquire the license to Yu-Gi-Oh!, one of 4Kids! TV's hottest shows.

What does this mean for the future of Power Rangers, if anything? Could this be the beginning of the return of cult-classic-favorite Digimon? Stay tuned for details.

Fox Kids was the shit. That & Kids WB were amazing back then. I'm down for this.

Does this mean Saban now owns "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight?"

I believe Dragon Knight just aired on 4Kids, but was not owned by them.

What does this mean for Power Rangers on Nick? I forsee problems.

Or maybe I'm crazy.

Most likely Nick would get first run of new episodes and 4kids would get them later.

Hopefully we'll also get some of the older Saban shows broadcast again. At this point 4kids isn't airing anything new anyway.

They're under contract for another 2 years (with Nick) I think.

Well at least Saban Brands now has a block to rely on in case Nick proves uncooperative in the future.
