Kabillion Partners With Saban Brands To Launch New Vortexx-Branded VOD Channel; Shows To Include "Power Rangers Lost Galaxy" And "Dragon Ball Z Kai"

Kidscreen's children's digital entertainment and media news column iKids is reporting the children's TV news in the following article that, after beefing up its YouTube strategy earlier this month (April 2013), the on-demand kids network Kabillion is partnering with Saban Brands to launch a brand new Vortexx-branded VOD channel that will co-exist with the eight-month-old Vortexx TV block and online hub.

Saban's boy-skewing Vortexx block, which launched in August 2012, currently airs in the US on Saturday mornings from 7 a.m. to noon on The CW broadcast network, and is also accessible.

"Power Rangers Lost Galaxy", the seventh season of the Power Rangers franchise which is based on the Japanese "Super Sentai" television series "Seijuu Sentai Gingaman" that originally aired in 1999, and "Sonic X", a Japanese anime series based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" video game series, will both debut in June 2013 on Kabillion's Vortexx VOD channel and "Dragon Ball Z Kai", which currently airs on Nicktoons USA, will join in July 2013. Additional programming block announcements are expected to follow suit.
