Jivewriter, please don't take this hard, but... don't talk about something you obviously don't know anything about.
1. Work on Digimon Season 5 was delayed because the Japanese rating for digimon went downhill starting back when the Tamers went into the Digital World. Then Frontiers just about killed what ratings they had left. Frontiers is doing comparitively BETTER in the United States judging by toy sales. It's only in America you can get the Blitzmon/Beetlemon D-Real, as Bandai of Japan canceled production due to poor sales of earlier Frontiers toys. In fact, about the only Japanese Digimon products with consistant sales is their manga and the Digi-Battle cards.
2. When Disney bought out Saban Ent. they got everything that was Saban's, including a contract from TOEI to dub Digimon through season SIX. It is this contract, which has not been voided by TOEI, that is proof that more Digimon will be made. It's a matter of when. As such, you will NOT see Digimon on Fox Box, Kids WB, NOR Cartoon Network as these are Disney's competitors.
3. Fox Box and Kids WB do NOT dub any anime program they air. Other companies buy the rights to dub the show and then Fox and Warner Brother purchase the rights to air these shows from the company that dubbed it.
4. It's not Disney who royally screwed Frontiers, though they didn't help. It was UPN's handling of Digimon. Giving each station the right to place the show whenever they feel like and not doing any advertising of when new shows will be on, or that they freakin' have the show. With UPN's removal of their kid's block of animation come fall, Digimon will be relegated to a Disney/ABC channel. My bet is ABC Family again, who hasn't done a bad job with Saban's other series that were acquired.
