Jetguin was an international TV channel founded by Rick Xings in Summer 1998. The TV Channel was very popular among chicks 9 to 16, and got good reception. Jetguin gave great profit, but during a small economic crash in 2009 it was shut down. A week later the Walt Icey Company bought up Jetguin's channel space, and replaced it with Icey XD. Jetguin's shows are almost completely forgotten already, and many viewers forgot about it.

History[edit]
Jetguin was established in summer 1998 on cable. It was created by Rick Xings, and a task force of 80 penguins. The first month Jetguin was airing old shows, while they were producing their own. Jetguin became very popular in Japaland the first month, because it was airing a lot of anime shows at the time. When Jetguin released its first show, which was Antarctican, they lost many Japalandese viewers because the anime shows were now viewing less often. In winter 1998 Jetguin released another Antarctican show, which was a reality show. The reality show didn't fit well with viewers, and Rick thought it didn't match the style of Jetguin the more he thought about it. So the show was canceled. In summer 1999 another show was released, which was a cartoon. It became very popular extremely quick, and became the #1 kids show of 1999. Rick decided to hire that same show's producer, and ask him to make some other shows of all genres. The producer agreed to, and his next show came out in 2000.
In 2005 Jetguin reached its peak of fame. It had a fan base of 10 million chicks, and was still growing. By 2005 it was airing 10 different shows, and was racking such a huge profit. Rick Xings was now a millionaire, and it seemed like Jetguin would never fall. In 2006 something big happened, Jetguin lost over 6 million viewers. When Rick looked into the situation he discovered that Icey Channel had also reached its peak, and was sucking in viewers from other channels. Rick was very disappointed, and got his Idea Group together to create a new show to bring viewers back. Rick couldn't decide, and decided to fix up the current shows. While fixing the current shows, the Icey Channel kept pulling viewers away from Jetguin. In 2007 Jetguin got back 2 million viewers, and was able to stand strong until the economic crash of 2009.
In 2009 millions of small businesses shut down, including Jetguin. Rick quickly got himself as much money as he could before Jetguin shut down, and is now retired in Frankterre. Jetguin and all its shows completely shut down, without even airing a finally. This disappointed many viewers. The Walt Icey Company quickly bought Jetguin, and replaced it with Icey XD. The fall of Jetguin put 5 million people out of work, and nearly destroyed the economy in South Pole City, and other office locations.
Block Programming[edit]
Jetguin did have some block programming, but not on a large scale. The first block programming they had was Oldie Monday, which was created in 2000. Oldie Monday featured a bunch of old shows, of all genres, from the early 90's back to back. Oldie Monday wasn't very popular among chicks, but many parents enjoyed seeing the old shows.
In 2002 Jetguin developed another block programming, Sci-Fi Saturday. Sci-Fi Saturday was a group of science fiction shows played together at Saturday night. It was very popular, especially in the Geek Empire. Sci-Fi Saturday was shut down in 2007, and replaced with Jetguin Bests.
In 2007 a new block programming was made, Jetguin Bests. It replaced Sci-Fi Saturday, which angered many fans of Sci-Fi Saturday. Jetguin Bests included Jetguin's most popular show, no matter what genre they were. It also included some behind the scenes of some of the shows, and commercials related to the shows. Some viewers really liked it.

Trivia[edit]
- This is a parody of Jetix.
- Yeah you're probably like "What's Jetix?". Well it's an old, old, old TV channel.
- Some viewers have noticed that in the Jetguin there's the silhouette of a puffle, but the channel has the suffix "-guin" which is found in "penguin".
- The channel was originally going to be called "X-Guin", but the name didn't make any sense, so Rick had it changed.
