Power Rangers: Haim Saban

What this episode covers

Haim Saban, founder of Saban Entertainment, explains how he transformed from a refugee into a media mogul by acquiring the Japanese show *Jushin Sentai Gaoranger* and repackaging it as *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers*. He details his strategy of licensing the action footage to minimize costs, pitching the concept to Fox executive Margaret Loesch, and negotiating a joint venture that gave him half of the Fox Kids Network. Saban later orchestrated the acquisition of the Family Channel, rebranding it as Fox Family, and successfully sold it to Disney for $5.3 billion, securing his status as a billionaire.
