On December 15, 2006. Nickelodeon Blast was renamed Blast, or also called Nick's Blast. Nickelodeon was starting to faze out of this network and ABC Family was looking to get this network.

Family Blast
2009-2011

On May 3, 2009. ABC Family & Disney left the Blast channel similar to how Nickelodeon did, and the channel was renamed to Family Blast. Only Viacom owned it like they did in 2007 so Viacom had no idea what do with it. Because of the name change, they had to air Kid-Friendly Anime all the time now, just like how Nickelodeon did. Viacom was pretty stressed about this channel in 2010 and asked some companies like AT&T, Verizon, Kmart, Lifetime, and Bravo if they wanted this channel and they all denied. Until June 2011, Crunchyroll offered 1 Million Grand to buy out this channel completey and to give the channel to them. Viacom agreed and on July 1, 2011. Family Blast was discotuined for good. No attempts were ever made to bring this channel back as of right now.
