Fox Kids will likely show up soon. This is how theyâve filled the gaps in the Entertainment & Docos category. Fox [insert genre here]

Foxtel leaving Premium Content Alliance means no change for its content and channel lineup. The PCA is just a body set up to attract advertising in premium digital content.
Fox Kids would be close to one of channels dating back to Foxtelâs early days - Foxtel phased it out in favour of better arrangements with Nick/CN in the early 2000s(?)

ETA: This sent me down a rabbit hole of old Foxtel videos. How good was Showtime? Those idents with the film strips flying around Australia were epic. I get something in my eye watching them⌠tragic, I know.

That Fox Kids watermark was the worst ever, even outdoing Channel Vâs 1998-2002 logo and of course the first WIN mappy.
