Kids WB all the way, although I wish I watched Digimon. Looking back, that looked way cooler than Pokmon Filler.

Luckily WB had:

Pokmon (when good)
Batman Beyond
Jackie Chan Adventures
CardCaptors
Yu Gi Ohhhhhh
X Men Evolution
Official Strawberry Eater of PotD

Neither. Being Canadian I probably watched more YTV as a kid.

As an adult, I had a preference for Fox 4Kids TV because I'm entranced by Winx Club.
This album is not available to the public.
Even if it were, you wouldn't wanna listen to it!

Neither. We didn't have cable or satellite. Also am Canadian, so only thing we got with our tiny little TV antenna was CBC.
How often do people read this?

Fox Kids, Kids WB wasn't a thing when I was a kid, although I did like watching Animaniacs as a teenager once it went to Kids WB.

I don't remember which had what, but looking at the line-up, probably both, plus Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.

mostly fox kids. when I was an actual kid, WB didn't exist yet. there was Fox but also way back in the early 90's and in the 80's I think other channels did cartoons too. like cbs and abc. over time they stopped and it became just fox and WB. saturday morning cartoons used to be a major industry. you had lots of choices in the early days

Both (and One Saturday Morning) but mostly Kids WB. During my family's few brief "less poor" moments, I'd usually stick to Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel.

Fox Kids obviously. Where else would you find Digimon, Monster Rancher, Medabots, and Power Rangers all on the same network? Oh and at first, Pokemon and Digimon were both on Fox, despite being "rivals".

I remember I watched both, and if Pokemon and Digimon were on at the same time, I used the VCR to record one so I could watch it later.

This, except for the Fox part. When -I- was a kid, "Fox Kids" didn't really exist as a thing either.

Fox Kids started around 1990, and the Kids' WB didn't start until 1995, but my Saturday morning cartoon years were mostly between 1983 and 1988 (or, from about 6 years old to 11 years old). I kind of tapered off around the time I headed into middle school, though I still watched some stuff in syndication, like older cartoons on the USA Cartoon Express or stuff like DuckTales and The Super Mario Bros. Super Show. And being a geek, I obviously watched stuff like Batman: the Animated Series when it came out.

That being said, Wikipedia is actually awesome about listing the TV schedules of various channels for every given year, going back decades:

(you can get to any other year you're looking for via the link menu at the bottom of the page)

Plus, this link might be useful as well:

Now I remember hating that TMNT and Beetlejuice were on at the same time. I always had to pick one or the other...

I was no longer a kid when those things were around. I remember watching the Smurfs and Scooby Doo on TBS as well as David the Gnome.

Yeah, YTV was my jam. Watched The Zone every night. I only remember Carlos and Sugar, there were lots of hosts before that but they changed like every couple months.

being British, i rarely saw either due to a brother hogging the TV most of the time ( saw a lot of Toonami though which was the shit) had an old VHS of Digimon that still had the "Fox Kids" outro though and watched a bit of it when it changed over to Jetix

most of my Saturday Morning cartoons though were CITV or CBBC, i enjoyed both though CITV usually had the better international shows (power rangers, spongebob, totally spies) while CBBC usually stuck to home grown sketches and live action shows with a couple of decent cartoons thrown in.

I'll say a mix of both since we had something else in Canada, YTV. It had a mix of WB, Fox and Nick cartoons.

You know what was shit? Fox Box. They sold off all their best shows along with Fox Kids as part of the deal to sell Fox Family to Disney.

I did like Ultimate Muscle a little bit, but it was no Digimon.
