This was a Saturday morning children's programming block, containing both animated and live-action shows. It debuted in August 2012, replacing Toonzai (after 4Kids Entertainment went bankrupt). The new block is programmed by Saban. However, I haven't had access to the CW since July 2011, so I've never seen Vortexx, nor any shows that may have debuted in that block. But I believe the block has mostly aired reruns of shows I'd previously seen in other blocks or on other networks (not necessarily in any block), including Cubix: Robots for Everyone (2001-03), Iron Man: Armored Adventures (2009-12), Justice League Unlimited (2004-06), The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008-09), Yu-Gi-Oh! (2001-06), et al.

Which means there will no longer be any traditional Saturday morning kids' programming on any broadcast network. Which saddens me, but it's not the first time the era has ended.
