How do you think Wb would've treated the Power Franchise as compared to Disney? I can see the show staying in North America (US or Canada), The show would air on Kids WB, Cartoon Network and a new channel WB Family. Power Rangers would fit with the content that those channels were airing at the time. Imagine Power Rangers being part of Toonami! I would like to think they would keep it because WB has always struggled to create live action content for kids and family? What do you guys think? Am I fantasizing a bit too much or could there be some truth to this?

As a topic, this really fits more in Show Discussion than News and Rumors.
Anyway, there are pros and cons to this idea. Concerning CN, it definitely wouldn't have a home there. CN Real was poorly received to begin with. While PR is a kids show, it's not a cartoon, so I don't really see it making it on CN or Toonami. Meanwhile, Kids WB was always a programming block with a limited lifespan. It definitely wouldn't feel too out of place there, but once that block ended, it would probably have a hard time finding it's footing. I think WB may have had a greater interest for Power Rangers compared to Disney, and it would be during an era where WB wouldn't be as tight with their wallet compared to now, so it's entirely possible. Granted, I wouldn't want PR with modern day WB, considering how they're treating half the stuff that gets made.

Hmm how about Viacom? How do you think they would have treated it if they were the ones that bought it?

It's more notable that Disney was never really interested in selling PR, and WB never made a move expressing interest in acquiring it. Instead they went and made Dragon Knight, which... yeah.

While they didn't have nearly as much live action stuff compared to Fox Kids, Power Rangers was very much right up their alley. It was just that Disney opted to buy the entire Fox Family network, so it's not like any individual programs had the chance to be sold off.

I disagree. WB was constantly testing the waters with several family friendly anime at this period. Yeah, they had Pokemon and YGO, but it was clear they weren't just trying to coast by on those two alone.
