Saban lands new Digimon Season

Saban Brands confirmed that they have acquired the new Digimon season and will work with MarVista Entertainment to distribute the series outside of Asia, while Toei Animation will handle all of the licensing and distribution inside of Asia.  The series will debut at the MIPCOM in Cannes, France in front potential broadcasters and distributors. The show "Digimon Fusion" or "Digimon Xros Wars" in Japan will be the 6th Digimon season to broadcast in North America  

It seems like a good idea to bring Digimon back to North America because there still older fans who want to see a new season. There are some concerns and are essential if this show wants to succeed in North America. These include; (1) Who will be the broadcaster and will  it be available to a bigger audience since Digimon Data Squad could only be found on Toon Disney which is a digital cable channel that everyone does not have access to, (2) Is there enough steam left in Digimon to pull out another season in North America because it would seem Poke'Mon and Yugioh have won the war as far as collectible(s) animes are concerned., and (3) Is there anyone really asking for it.
