Power Rangers Re-Acquired by Saban for TV Run on Nick
posted on by Egan Loo
The media company Saban has re-acquired the rights to the live-action special-effects Nicktoons digital channel spinoff will also show reruns of previous seasons.
A new season was created nearly every year between 1993's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and last year's Power Rangers: RPM, which ran on Disney's ABC. Disney had purchased the franchise in 2001, but decided not to place it underneath the Disney brand umbrella after focus group research showed that mothers disliked the violence. Disney has been shopping for a new owner for the franchise for more than a year.
