The company also established Saban International (now part of Disney-ABC International Television) for international distribution of its shows.

In 1995, Haim Saban and News Corporation started Fox Kids Worldwide, Saban Entertainment merged with Fox Children's Productions and became a subsidiary of Fox Kids Worldwide.^[2] Also in 1995, the company established Saban Interactive. In 2001 Saban Entertainment was sold to Disney as part of the sale of Fox Family Worldwide,^[3][1] after the sale Saban Entertainment was renamed BVS Entertainment.
