Vortexx was an American Saturday morning children's television programming block that aired on The CW from August 25, 2012 to September 27, 2014. Programmed by Saban Brands, it replaced Toonzai, a block that was programmed by 4Kids Entertainment until its bankruptcy. The Vortexx block primarily featured animated programs, although it also featured several live-action series, including the Lost Galaxy installment of the Power Rangers franchise (which had been re-acquired by Saban), and the WWE wrestling series Saturday Morning Slam.

The block came to an end on September 27, 2014, and was replaced the following week with a live-action E/I block from Litton Entertainment named One Magnificent Morning, marking the end of traditional Saturday morning children's programming on broadcast television until KidsClick was launched in July 2017.

History

[edit]

On April 6, 2011, following a lawsuit involving the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, 4Kids Entertainment, which programmed TheCW4Kids/Toonzai block for the network, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[1] On May 1, 2012, Kidsco Media Ventures, an affiliate of Saban Capital Group, placed a bid to acquire some of their assets. On June 26, 2012, after competition from 4K Acquisition Corp, a subsidiary of Konami, the deal was finalized, with 4K Acquisition receiving the U.S. rights to the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise and Saban receiving all other assets, including the programming rights to The CW's Saturday morning block.[2] On July 2, 2012, it was announced that Saban Capital Group, via Kidsco Media Ventures, would begin programming the block that fall.[3][4][5][6] On July 12, 2012, it was announced that the block would be named Vortexx, which launched on August 25, 2012.[7][8]

Closure

[edit]

On June 5, 2014, The CW announced that it had entered into a programming agreement with Litton Entertainment to launch a new Saturday morning E/I block replacing Vortexx. The block would be replaced on October 4, 2014 by One Magnificent Morning, a block produced by Litton Entertainment (now Hearst Media Production Group) that features live-action documentary and lifestyle programs aimed at pre-teens and teenagers similarly to a block also introduced by Litton for CW sister channel CBS the previous year. The move came as part of a shift by broadcast television networks towards using their Saturday morning lineup solely to comply with the educational programming requirements mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), along with the cultural shift towards cable and online video on demand viewing of children's and animated programming.[9] Vortexx aired for the final time on September 27, 2014.[10] It was the last conclusive Saturday morning block across the major American broadcast television networks that primarily featured non-educational programming aimed at children.[10][11] On July 1, 2017, the KidsClick block from Sinclair Broadcast Group launched on both Sinclair stations and This TV, but had no association with a traditional broadcast network otherwise, KidsClick eventually closed on March 29, 2019.

Scheduling

[edit]

Officially the network preferred the block to air from 7:00 a.m. to noon in each time zone, though there were local scheduling variances in some areas that may have moved it to different hours, to Sundays, or split the lineup between Saturday or Sunday, along with local pre-emptions of select shows. The CW Plus stations in the Central, Mountain, and Alaska time zones time zones also aired the block one hour earlier or later, depending on the local time zone, as The CW Plus operates separate feeds based on the network's Eastern and Pacific time zone scheduling for primetime shows. San Antonio CW affiliate KMYS split the Vortexx block over two days, between early Sunday and early Monday mornings before 5:00 a.m. due to an existing arrangement to air Fox's Weekend Marketplace paid programming block in lieu of sister station KABB. WTVW in Evansville, Indiana (which quickly become a CW affiliate on January 31, 2013, due to the market's former affiliate going dark) was unable to schedule the block when it initially began its affiliation with the network, due to contractual obligations to paid programming slots and existing syndicated E/I programming on Saturday mornings through March 2013. The station began carrying Vortexx in its network-recommended timeslot on April 6, 2013, with the station's acquired E/I programming moving to Sunday afternoons.[12][13]

Video-on-demand

[edit]

On April 29, 2013, Saban Brands announced a separate partnership with Kabillion to add programming from the Vortexx block to the existing Kabillion video on demand service for cable providers. The programs were listed on the service without any separate Vortexx subdivision under their individual show titles, with Vortexx promotional advertising.[14] The shows currently remain on Kabillion with other advertising, even after the closure of Vortexx.

Programming

[edit]

Most of the block's programming aired in high definition, with older standard definition content presented in 4:3 or widescreen with stylized pillarboxing and windowboxing.

Vortexx only ran an hour of programming that met the FCC's educational programming guidelines; as a result, The CW's affiliates handled the responsibility of filling the remaining two hours, The CW Plus cable-subchannel affiliates had E/I-compliant programs not acquired from the syndication market built into the national schedule, alleviating stations carrying CW network programming though that feed from the responsibility of purchasing the local rights to such programs.

This approach highlighted Vortexx's purpose as a vibrant hub for youthful within The CW's schedule, capitalizing on untapped potential in broadcast kids' content.

This financial collapse disrupted 4Kids' operations and forced the auction of its entertainment properties, as the company could no longer sustain its programming commitments. In response to the bankruptcy proceedings, Saban Brands, through its affiliate Kidsco Media Ventures LLC, placed a bid on May 1, 2012, to acquire select 4Kids assets, including domestic master rights to properties such as , , and , along with the existing time-buying agreement for 's Saturday morning slot. The acquisition was approved by a U.S. on June 26, 2012, allowing Saban to secure these rights while separately obtained the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. This transfer marked a significant corporate shift, enabling Saban to renegotiate and expand the deal with for refreshed children's programming. The block, which had aired on from May 24, 2008, to August 18, 2012, was discontinued as a direct result of 4Kids' , prompting to seek a new partner for its children's lineup to maintain compliance with educational programming mandates and attract a revitalized audience. Saban's July 2012 agreement with facilitated this transition by inheriting the slot and incorporating select retained shows from Toonzai, such as , to ensure some continuity in the schedule.

This collaboration complemented the block's existing online hub at myvortexx.com, which offered interactive features, games, and promotional materials to foster viewer loyalty and engagement.

These adjustments ensured operational flexibility across markets without disrupting the core broadcast strategy.

Broadcast and Accessibility

Scheduling Details

Vortexx was scheduled as a standard five-hour programming block on Saturday mornings from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. ET/PT across The CW's affiliated stations, providing a consistent national feed for viewers. This timing allowed affiliates to align with typical weekend morning viewing habits while fulfilling educational and informational (E/I) requirements in the initial hour. Affiliates were encouraged to adhere to the network's preferred schedule to maintain uniformity, but local variations occurred due to preemptions for regional programming or commitments. For instance, the San Antonio affiliate KMYS divided the block, airing the first two hours early Sunday morning and the remaining three hours from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. Monday. Specific time slots were allocated to core series within the block, with Power Rangers typically airing at 8:00 a.m. ET following the E/I programming to anchor the entertainment lineup, followed by slots for other action-oriented shows blending animation and live-action elements. Nearly all Vortexx content was presented in high definition, consistent with The CW's broadcast standards and network feed specifications that required affiliates to transmit in HD where possible.

Digital and On-Demand Options

On April 29, 2013, Saban Brands partnered with Kabillion, a free video-on-demand (VOD) network for children, to launch a dedicated Vortexx-branded VOD channel featuring select programming from the block. This partnership enabled on-demand streaming of episodes from core Vortexx series, such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Sonic X, and Dragon Ball Z Kai, accessible through Kabillion's platform on cable and satellite providers. The service was available in over 40 million U.S. households in the top 30 markets, with additional access via Kabillion's website and YouTube channel. However, not all Vortexx content was offered digitally; the VOD focused on a curated selection of action-oriented shows, primarily targeting young boys, and emphasized cable/satellite delivery rather than broad online streaming. By providing 24/7 access to these episodes outside of the traditional Saturday morning schedule, the VOD channel extended Vortexx's reach to viewers unable to watch live broadcasts, enhancing overall engagement with the programming block.

Closure and Aftermath

Announcement and Reasons

On June 5, 2014, officially announced the discontinuation of the Vortexx programming block, effective after its final broadcast on September 27, 2014. The decision was driven primarily by the network's need to comply with (FCC) regulations mandating a minimum of three hours of educational and informational (E/I) programming per week for children's television on broadcast networks. Vortexx, which featured action-oriented without E/I certification, no longer aligned with these requirements amid increasing regulatory enforcement and industry-wide shifts toward compliant content. Saban Brands, the entity programming Vortexx since its 2012 launch, agreed to terminate the block as part of this transition, reflecting the company's strategic pivot toward other entertainment ventures such as licensing and production. The declining viability of non-E/I children's blocks on broadcast television further contributed, as advertisers and networks increasingly favored formats that met FCC guidelines while addressing the rise of on-demand streaming services eroding traditional Saturday morning viewership. This move paved the way for a replacement E/I block from Litton Entertainment. The announcement marked Vortexx as the final major non-educational Saturday morning cartoon block on U.S. broadcast television, concluding a decades-long tradition that dated back to the 1960s. In the lead-up to its closure, no significant programming overhauls occurred, allowing the existing lineup—including staples like and —to air unchanged through the summer.

Replacement and Impact

Vortexx's final broadcast aired on September 27, 2014, after which replaced it with , a five-hour live-action educational and informational programming block produced by Litton Entertainment that debuted on October 4, 2014. This shift fulfilled the network's obligations under federal regulations for children's educational content while eliminating animated programming from its Saturday morning lineup. The replacement signified the conclusion of traditional blocks on major U.S. broadcast networks, ending a format that had defined children's television for over 50 years since its origins in the . Media coverage highlighted Vortexx as the "last gasp" of this animation-dominated era, driven by changes in viewing habits, the rise of streaming services, and increased demands for compliant E/I content. Vortexx's inclusion of English-dubbed anime series, such as Dragon Ball Z Kai, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Digimon Fusion, contributed to renewed visibility for anime in U.S. children's programming on broadcast television. Programmed by Saban Brands, the block enabled Saban's re-entry into anime dubbing after a decade-long absence following the sale of its entertainment assets to Disney in 2001, with Digimon Fusion serving as a key project produced in collaboration with Studiopolis. This effort influenced Saban's subsequent anime adaptations, including the 2015 Netflix original Glitter Force, an English-dubbed version of Smile Precure!. The block's legacy persists through ongoing fan nostalgia for its role in the final chapter of Saturday morning cartoons, preserved in part by archival initiatives such as the 2021 upload of its complete final broadcast to the , which has enabled digital access to episodes for retrospective viewing.
