Vortexx was an American Saturday morning children's television programming block that aired on The CW from August 25, 2012 to September 27, 2014.
[2] On July 2, 2012, it was announced that Saban Capital Group, via Kidsco Media Ventures, would begin programming the block that fall.
[7][8] On June 5, 2014, The CW announced that it had entered into a programming agreement with Litton Entertainment to launch a new Saturday morning E/I block replacing Vortexx.
[10] It was the last conclusive Saturday morning block across the major American broadcast television networks that primarily featured non-educational programming aimed at children.
WTVW in Evansville, Indiana (which hurriedly joined The CW on January 31, 2013, due to the market's former affiliate going dark) was unable to schedule the block when it initially began its affiliation with the network, due to contractual obligations to paid programming slots and existing syndicated E/I programming on Saturday mornings through March 2013.
