May 10, 2002 - Nintendo and 4 Kids Entertainment announced today that they are in the works with an animated television series featuring mascot hero Kirby, which will broadcast Saturday mornings in the US on Fox Kids. The show's first episode will debut on September 14 of this year.
Kirby, a character that has starred in 15 Nintendo branded games including the recent GameCube hit Super Smash Bros. Melee, will remain unchanged for his new television career. The series, called Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, will focus on the character's ability to acquire his foe's powers and abilities. In the cartoons, Kirby will be able to transform into Fire Kirby, Sword Kirby and Block Kirby, among other different variations of himself.
"Kirby's television debut marks the natural progression for a Nintendo character that has remained strong and popular around the world," said Gail Tilden, vice president, network marketing, Nintendo of America. "4 Kids' new Saturday morning kids network on Fox, combined with their brand building and licensing expertise, make them the perfect partner for Kirby. We're tickled pink!"
Nintendo will complement the television series with new Kirby offerings for both GameCube and Game Boy Advance, though the company has yet to announce official release dates for either title.
More as it becomes available.
Got this from IGN.
Questions? comments? I'm sorta-kinda excited about this, but I'm not too in to it right now.

I thought Fox Kids was a basic channel station. Isn't Fox Kids also KidsWB which is on WB, or is Fox Kids on Fox, or am I completely off here?

You're getting me all confused sort of. I say Fox kids is on the same channel as Kids WB(which was on 6/61). Aren't you guys and gals worried how the Kirby TV show will turn out to be?

I'm not sure. For some reason I was wanting to think I had seen the same shows on Fox Kids as I had on KidsWB, or seen Fox Kids and KidsWB on the same channel or something. Since Fox Kids is on Fox, it should be on the basic channel list though, as Fox Channel is a basic channel(on my TV anyway).

Fox Kids is on Saturday mornings on FOX. Why in the hell would WB have Fox Kids?
If 4Kids is doing it, I'm leaning between crap and really good. If they dub it like Pokemon... I can't even imagine the horror. If they dub it like Yu-Gi-Oh, that's pretty good. Yami Yugi's voice does go well on Meta-Knight if you work with it a little.

Digimon is on Fox Kids, which does have its own channel. For me, it's 39...
