I was watching one of the three Disney channels last night when I saw two TMNT toy ads and a promo for 4Kids TV. Does Disney own FOX or 4Kids Entertainment?

I don't think so, I thought they were seperate companies, but then again I could be totally wrong!

You Guys Would Be Surprised How Many Networks Are Owned By Disney.

Isn't 4Kids and Fox owned by Summit Media...? One of the few things that's not owned by Viacom or Disney. @_@ If Disney owned 4Kids it'd be showing on ABC and not Fox.

I think maybe the big owner may be Ted Turner...but heck, what doesn't he own?

I still remember a joke from The Simpsons:

20th Centuary (spelling? ) FOX: a division of The Walt Disney company

Cowabunga dudes :) .

4Kids own themselves. I personally wish I could afford to buy them and burn down their entire cooperation, then move TMNT to Cartoon Network or some sh*t.

Heh, maybe when I take over the video gaming media :evilgrin:

Disney owns a lot of things. Including Saban which ran Fox Kids for several years. But not 4kids. Nor does Disney have affiliation with Summit Media to my knowledge (but 4kids does).

Awww... Why be destructive? Why not overthrow and overtake? Surely you can make 4Kids a better company rather than just see it reverted to a pillar of flame.

Besides, Cartoon Network is more evil. They make you hate them during the day, then they butter you up with Adult Swim. That's evil, I tell you! EEEVIIIL!

Aside from the routine 4Kids bashing, I have noticed a LOT of promos for other networks on certain cable channels (though I don't have cable). I used to get MTV2 free ( a station aired it). It comes off and on, but I've seen numerous Fox programming ads, along woith a few others. It is odd to see competitors using other channels to advertise shows, though. But that's a very untapped market.
