In 1987, Ultrax Media had now 5 channels, with the new ones being Ultrax Comedy (for comedy programming), Ultrax Movies (for certain types of movies), and Ultrax History (for history programming), Ultrax Media started getting a lot of money as a result of the viewership on all their channels, with now 9.000.000 viewers in all Samtonia.

On February 2, 1989, Ultrax Media announced that they would start going worldwide by negotiating with international TV companies to bring Ultrax channels to several providers around the world, they also stated that they would start doing more than just television, however, new channels would be also launching soon, Ultrax Media's first international launch was on the United States on September 28, 1989, after months of planning and adjusting the launch, with Ultrax Television, Ultrax Comedy, and Ultrax Kids being the only 3 available channels available in the US launch, however, more Ultrax channels launched in the United States months later.

Ultrax Media later launched "Ultrax Food" and "Ultrax Action" on June 22, 1990, later on, on July 29, 1990, Ultrax Media launched their very first non-TV business called Ultrax Radio, a radio station that would be simply telling news about Samtonia and the world as well playing some music, the station was well received that later a second station involving music called Ultrax Radio 2 was launched on September, later on, December 2, 1990, Ultrax Dubbing was created, being focused on dubbing programs for their international channels, mostly for programs that weren't dubbed in a certain language.

In 1995, Ultrax was now present in a lot of countries, such as the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Happy Tree, etc. This led to Ultrax channels' viewership going very high, reaching now 963.000.000 viewers worldwide, Ultrax has got a lot of earnings as a result which helped the company to launch new properties and channels.

In April of 1996, Ultrax Media created "Ultrax Pictures" which would be their movie production company, that same month, Ultrax also created "Ultrax Animation" which would make originals for Ultrax Kids as well as produce movies along with Ultrax Pictures, their first film was the animated movie "The Untold Planet", released on November 25, 1996, which gathered mixed reception but was a box office success.

Ultrax announced that they made a deal with TSW Television and PTBC to acquire the channel for $100.000.000.000, after this announcement, some Animal Toonz viewers were worried about this decision.

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the deal was completed on July 4, 2020, as a result, Animal Toonz as well as their affiliated channels such as Toddler Toonz, AT-POP! and AT-Uno now belonged to Ultrax Limited, also led to some changes such as their Japanese feed returning to their original name, with new channels being launched such as "Animal Toonz Extra!", "AT Movies", "Animal Toonz Legends" and "Retro Toons" as well as new programming being introduced, however, it also led to some negative changes such as the splitting of a channel called Animal Toonz Ultimate Cinema/Series being split into the former mentioned Animal Toonz Extra! and AT Movies, it also led to the original Animal Toonz movies block being discontinued in favor of AT Movies, however, it didn't affect the company or Animal Toonz as a whole.
