Haim Saban, who helped develop the majority of the programming that filled the grid on the successful Fox Family cable-TV outlet before moving into other ventures and becoming chairman of Univsion Corp., is returning to kiddie TV. His Saban Brands has agreed to fill a five-hour Saturday-morning block on CW affiliates starting 7 a.m. on Aug. 25.
The Power Rangers franchise, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2013, is coming to the CW this fall as part of the network’s rebranding of its Saturday-morning block. A unit of Saban Brands will supply the five-hour programming block.
