- Following the sale of the channel to Fox Kids Worldwide, it was announced that the channel would be renamed as Fox Family Channel in 1998. This logo (based on the previous logo design, which had been used since 1988) was only seen on promos for the channel.
Both recorded in 2005.
I always liked hearing the first preview while waiting for "Anastasia" to play.
Exactly. I love Anastasia!
SAME!
I still got that shit on vhs
Had it on VHS myself too
I remember seeing the second promo on the original VHS of Home Alone 3!
Everybody’s gotta love
Casper, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Mr. Bean, Mr. Bill, Shining Time Station, All Dogs Go To Heaven, The Addams Family, Angela Anaconda, etc
0:45 - The second version of this promo is my favorite, i hear this in my head every single day.
The second promo was shown on the VHS of Home Alone 3
@@jessicamcneill2463I know (October 3rd,2023 and October 6th,2023 with January 6th,2023/🙂).
Nostalgia is strong. Almost get teary eyed lol.
Seems like alot of people only remember this from Anastasia/Home Alone 3 VHS. I used to watch the Fox Family Channel religiously when i was a kid and still remember this ad vividly.
Me too. Fox Family Channel was my introduction to Mr. Bill, Mr. Bean, Pee-Wee Herman, Shining Time Station and (by extension) Thomas the Tank Engine!
This was, without a doubt, Alan D. Bluth's vision of a true hybrid "kids/families" network to go up against the likes of Nickelodeon and PAX... and yet it just did not go so well.
this is it omg. this has been living in my head rent free 25 years. i never fast-forwarded through this, when watching Anastasia.
I'm Always Going To Enjoy Rocking & Rolling Everytime I Listen To That Music
The music to this commercial was my favorite song when I was 4/5... I for years thought it was an actual song until now.
i swear i get nostalgic over the most random things lol not complaining

Anyone else REALLY dig the original Fox Family Logo utilizing the Family Channel logo)?
Hard to think this is where the 13 days of Halloween and 25 says of Xmas started for abc
I wish I knew the song, so many memories of my childhood
I think it was a custom track created for this Fox Family commercial.
They should bring that back since Disney owns FOX
With dreamworks animation shows on it!
@@kevinmerila no way, Disney's Fox troubles us.
@@bradyanderson6311 that was universal’s idea to buy fox family channel!
Actually Disney bought most assets from FOX in March 2019, including 20th Century Fox (now called 20th Century Studios). Disney still doesn't owns the Fox Broadcasting Company, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Sports and MyNetworkTV. Disney does owns FX, FXX and FXM when it acquired most of Fox's former assets.
During sale pending to Fox Kids Worldwide; CBN produced The 700 Club resumed there.

I always remember this channel since was my own childhood in 1998 then before it was abc family and then before now it’s Freeform!
Anastasia on vhs
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THIS ON THAT VHS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back before Disney ruined Fox.
All 'Fox' films were now on Disney+.
@@brianodonnell4496 unless they’re sharing their “Regency” titles with other streaming services.
This gave me a lot of flashbacks from 'Nam.
Nam, Fam! It rhymes!
That was a pretty good channel back then, too bad it gone. It got some pretty good shows on there.
What's your favorite Fox Family shows?
@@JKHarrison big wolf on campus mumfie s club 7 rotten ralph there many more those are the shows I like so far.
For real man
@@yusseffharvey2441 What "real man"?
@@JKHarrison i think he means the shows i miss on this channel
The logo in these bumpers looks really cool, it makes me wonder why Fox didn't use this logo in the final product and ended up changing it so it looks nothing like the logo in these promos, and as for the theme music, unless someone digs REALLY deep into researching what this song is and who performed it, we'll probably never know what it's truly called. 🤔
The lyrics may've said: 🎵Put your hands together/come on, clap to this/You gotta watch it🎵 See what I mean?
I know the lyrics now, thanks to you (wink wink), but what I meant to say is I wonder who the artist who sang the lyrics is and what the song's true title is.
@@CodyTheDragonSamuraiI don't know it!
This logo looks a lot like the family channel logo witch was its last name before it became fox family
@@mguymario yeah it does.
What’s this song for this commercial it’s been stuck in my head
You can find these promos on these VHS
The first one is from Anastasia
The second one is from Home Alone 3
The Fox Family Channel logo was going looks like The Family Channel logo with "Fox" on it, but they decided to make the logo looks entirely different before August 15th, 1998 because they want Fox Family Channel to be more than just The Family Channel being rebranding, but also being rebooting as well almost likes it's a whole new channel.
I Love this song, it's Jammin! Is there a full version of this song?
That's all they had is this, Tim. What's that song?
MEMORIES ❤
Interesting. The final branding looks better, but this logo could have been used for a fusion between the actual Fox Family/Fox Kids and the Family Channel it replaced.
In early 1997, Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corporation entered into discussions to purchase a stake in The Family Channel with International Family Entertainment as a partner, in order to use the channel to carry the library of children's programs that News Corporation had owned through television production company Saban Entertainment. On June 11, 1997, News Corporation purchased International Family Entertainment for $1.9 billion. The latter company's assets were split within News Corporation's portfolio: The Family Channel was merged into Fox Kids Worldwide Inc., a joint venture between majority owners News Corporation and Saban (which each owned a 49.5% share in the company), and media investment firm Allen & Company (which owned the remaining 1%), which was subsequently renamed Fox Family Worldwide Inc. following the closure of the acquisition; the MTM Enterprises library, meanwhile, was acquired by the 20th Century Fox Film Corporation division.
The Family Channel was renamed Fox Family Channel - though on-air promotions typically referred to the network as just "Fox Family" - on August 15, 1998 ("The Family Channel" name was later resurrected in December 2013 by Luken Communications, owner of digital multicast networks such as the Retro Television Network, Tuff TV and Heartland (itself originally named The Nashville Network through a short-lived brand licensing deal with Jim Owens Entertainment, Inc.), for use by the broadcast network originally known as My Family TV). With the change in ownership, Fox Family's operations were also migrated from the Christian Broadcasting Network's headquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and integrated with the operations of some of News Corporation's other cable channels in Los Angeles.
J.K. Harrison ...what now
Tacomaster Studios When Fox bought the channel, programmers sought to reposition it to target a dual audience: children in daytime, families at night. Once the network became Fox Family, the new owners dropped nearly all of the programming that it aired under The Family Channel brand - which at that point included reruns of series such as Batman, Bonanza, The Rifleman, The Carol Burnett Show, Hawaii Five-O, Christy, Rescue 911 and Diagnosis: Murder - and replaced them with shows that appealed to a younger demographic. Rich Cronin, who was appointed as the network's president and CEO, said regarding the channel's audience refocusing, "our focus is on younger families, more suburban or urban, more plugged into pop culture". Fox Family was obligated to continue airing The 700 Club as part of the sale, but the program's airings were scaled back to two times each day (though the sale agreement required the channel to air it three times daily, once each in the morning, late-evening and overnight hours), with the evening broadcast being moved out of prime time, and pushed one hour later to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time (from 10:00 p.m.).
Programming that appealed to children and teenagers was also greatly expanded on the channel. Fox Family added more animated series to the lineup, many of which came from the Fox Kids program library. At launch, Fox Family had four themed kids daytime blocks: "Morning Scramble" (all ages), "The Captain's Treasure House" (pre-schoolers), "Tic Tac Toons" (all-animation) and "The Basement". Original series were programmed from six to nine at night targeting adults followed by a movie. Original programming was beefed up by $500 million, to be spent on 20 original movies and 680 episodes of original series.
In 1999, Fox spun off two digital cable channels from Fox Family, the Boyz Channel and the Girlz Channel, which both contained programming content targeted at the respective genders; both channels ceased operations after one year on the air in August 2000, due to a combination of very limited national carriage by cable providers (Boyz Channel and Girlz Channel were each carried in some 100,000 homes in an era when digital cable television was in its infancy) and the controversy that developed over the gender-segregated channels. To some extent, Disney relaunched the concept somewhat in February 2009 with the replacement of Toon Disney with Disney XD, featuring programs targeted at tween boys, while Disney Channel has shifted its focus towards featuring programming appealing more towards girls (although not necessarily in the same gender-exclusionary manner as the Boyz/Girlz Channel concept).
J.K. Harrison ...I know that. I just don’t understand why you’re shooting this at me.
@@TacomasterStudios What your favorite Fox Family shows?
Kath Soucie as Tara Boumdeay, Stephanie and Margaret in: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1990-1991)
Jimmy Kielbasa, ya saw this animated show on Fox Family Channel?
@@JKHarrison Well...not exactly. I watched all the episodes of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on TV series on the internet. Let me guess. Tara Boumdeay, Stephanie and Margaret in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on TV series are voiced by Kath Soucie, right?
Jimmy Kielbasa, right, it’s animated.
@@JKHarrison That's right. Kath Soucie voiced Tara Boumdeay, Stephanie and Margaret in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on TV series.
Jimmy Kielbasa, and so did you watched it on Fox Kids in the 90’s!
It's funny how the family channel was all Disney then 10 year's later it became Fox family then ABC family which Abc is owned by Disney & now Disney now owns fox a Monopoly is what I call it.
When did Family start airing Disney movies? The earliest time I remember when it aired a Disney movie was in 2000 when Fox Family aired Air Bud.
NBCUniversal could buy fox family (now known as freeform) and Saban Entertainment (AKA BVS Entertainment) from Disney after disney buys 20th century fox
I know, but right now, the word "FOX" has been defunct, and changed into 20th Century *STUDIOS.* "Studios" is the word!
J.K. Harrison I hate it when Disney does that to fox!!
