Orbit X (603): Paul's Fox Kids
Status: agreed in principle with Paul 3 November 2026, configured in 0.88.0 (ChannelIdentities.kt), awaiting his OK to install.
Identity: Fox Kids-style action and adventure, Saturday mornings and after school. Paul's recreation of the channel he grew up with. Tagline idea: none yet.
History, verified: Fox Kids ran in the UK and Ireland on Sky from 19 October 1996 until it became Jetix on 1 January 2005. The shows named in sources are from the American block; a sourced UK lineup wasn't found, so treat the UK schedule as style. History sources: Wikipedia, Cartoon Network (UK and Ireland), Toonami (UK and Ireland), Boomerang (UK and Ireland) and Fox Kids, read 3 November 2026.
Core: Biker Mice from Mars (one of the shows Paul first wanted), Digimon: Digital Monsters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Transformers, He-Man, ThunderCats, Gargoyles, The Real Ghostbusters, Power Rangers, G.I. Joe.
Supporting: Street Sharks, SWAT Kats, Captain Planet, M.A.S.K., Exosquad, Inspector Gadget, She-Ra, Bucky O'Hare, Visionaries, and X-Men and Spider-Man (Heroes is their preferred home).
Time of day: Saturday morning, 07:00 to 12:00, the core with X-Men and Spider-Man. After school, weekdays 15:00 to 18:00, the same. 06:00 to 18:00 otherwise core and supporting. 18:00 to 23:00 everything. 23:00 to 06:00 core and supporting.
Catalogue notes: Power Rangers is in the library as "Power Rangers" (1993) and G.I. Joe as "G.I. Joe" (1983); both are now asked for, with the original names kept. "Digimon Adventure" in the old list is the same show as "Digimon: Digital Monsters", which is already here; the library's "Digimon Adventure: (2020)" is a later remake and isn't added.
Order: episodic shows mix. Digimon, Gargoyles, Exosquad, Bucky O'Hare, Visionaries and Power Rangers run in order.
New arrivals: 80s and 90s action and toy-line cartoons, and adventure films for future weekend specials.
