Fox Junior

Fox Junior is an American preschool-oriented programming block that airs on cable children's network Fox Family. It originally launched in 2003 as a syndicated programming block created by a joint deal between 20th Century Fox and Tribune known as Playhouse Fox which in turn, replaced Playhouse TV (which was owned solely by Tribune) before making the move to cable in 2008 and rebranded on September 9, 2013. Much like competitors Nick Junior, Little Royal Academy, and Cartoonito, Fox Junior targets young children between the ages of 3 and 6. It airs every weekday (Mondays to Fridays) from 9 AM to 1 PM while on syndication, the time depends on the station. Following 21st Century Fox's merger with The Walt Disney Company, Fox Junior is 80% owned by Disney and 20% owned by Nextar, which acquired Tribune in 2019.
