Jetix (HiT)

Jetix is an adult-animation brand owned by HiT Company. The brand was originally a place for action/adventure content, the brand was shuttered in 2009, even though it was commercially successful. HiT later purchased the brand in 2013, awaiting for a new home. It's home was a rebrand of Toonix, the channel later moved to Cartoon Network. The status of Jetix today is now an internet-based network for adult-animation and action/adventure series made for that demographic, (yes they also air anime).

History
Originally, the Jetix brand was founded in January 2004 by Fox Kids Europe, Fox Kids Latin America, and ABC Networks. The brand was used for international channels as well as some programming blocks on TV like on ABC Family (now Freeform) and Toon Disney (now Disney XD). Jetix also made original productions of their own like Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!, Ying Yang Yo!, and W.I.T.C.H.

The fate of the brand became clear in 2008 when Disney decided to take ownership of the brand and decided to make a new brand to unify both Toon Disney and Jetix, becoming Disney XD, the brand laid dormant soon after.

In 2013, HiT purchased the entire brand from Disney for an undisclosed amount, after that buyout HiT turned their kids channel (Toonix) into Jetix shortly afterward. In 2020, Jetix would later be dormant again due to it's network shutting down due to declining ratings. The network quickly migrated to Cartoon Network.

In 2021, after the relaunch of The WB, HiT decided to make a brand new channel to host it's adult-centered animation library since they thought the vibe of these shows wouldn't fit The WB. The network's name would be Jetix, utilizing the name as an Internet streaming television network like the channels on Pluto TV. The network originally launched on Sunroll's Live TV section and Pluto TV, it then launched on other providers like Philo and YouTube TV.

Jetix was built upon the adult-animation genre, but that's just a fraction of what they air, like the original Disney version, Action/adventure shows are apart of the channel as well. The anime library is absolutely massive, from acquired shows by HiT and other distributors like Sony.
