Jetix Play (Formerly Fox Kids Play) was the sister channel of Jetix owned by Jetix Europe (co-owned by the Walt Disney Company) that broadcast in many European countries, mainly in Northern Europe. It initially launched in Poland in January 2003, and in CEE regions and Turkey in November, and a later launch in other MENA territories.
Jetix Play mainly showed classic animated cartoons and animated television series from the Saban Entertainment catalogue as well as other programs owned by ABC Family Worldwide and Fox Kids Europe/Jetix Europe, as well as some DIC Entertainment shows which Jetix Europe owned the distribution rights to at the time. It broadcast for 17 hours a day in Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East, North Africa, Turkey (Each of those 3 shared a feed) and Poland.
Advertising was shown in Turkish, Russian and Polish; the voices in the ads were only heard on the respective audio tracks. The other audio tracks either mute the ad's voice track (if such was available) or replace the entire audio with Jetix stock music. The replacement music in question is also used on other multilingual Disney-owned channels in Europe, such as Disney Channel CEE.
Disney Rebrand
After Jetix Europe was bought and absorbed into The Walt Disney Company, they began to close down the Jetix Play channels, replacing them with Playhouse Disney in some regions.
The Polish feed closed on August 1, 2010 and were all replaced with dedicated Playhouse Disney channels. The Turkish and CEE feeds wwere also replaced with Playhouse Disney on September 1, 2010. The only feed that wasn't replaced was the Russian-language audiotrack for the CEE feed, as at the time Playhouse Disney, nor Disney Junior were licensed to air on Russian cable networks.
