Saban gave up on Power Rangers after "Lost Galaxy". The show began to lose its audience (again, for the 3rd time), and he was actively shopping the network but apparently wanted a giant price. That said, the show was basically given to Tzachor to handle and the show didn't run off the usual "CORPORATE SAYS" BS that you see these days. The writers had more freedom, the budget was more flexible, etc.

Now the entire idea is "take the Japanese show, translate it following footage, and release it, and stay within budget". Saban makes boatloads of cash off Power Rangers and with it is able to do things like Digimon Fusion, etc.
