I've grown interest in this topic because I am, in a sense, fascinated and obsessed with Jetix. I've never kept that a secret. I wear a Jetix hat all the time out and about, but it does still suck to see much of the BVS library stuck in corpo limbo. It's a moment where I wish Tubi, who are...

The Hub and Jetix are linked in that both lasted maybe 4-5 years, corporate bought out most of the shares in the network, then the channels got rebranded with "Discovery" or "Disney" brands stapled to their names. Oh, and the executive behind The Hub, Margaret Loesch, also had a hand in Fox...

Relaunching Disney Jr. over Disney Channel at least makes the most sense arguably. Relaunching something like Disney Channel would be a big risk, and I tend to wonder if this move is being done to stop the Disney brand from drifting too adult, like we've been seeing in the UK with most of...

Checkered Past, with the new Discovery automation system, is airing with the screen cropped to 14:9. I am in this belief this is down to how the Turner prints are made, and that they haven't created new versions that adapt to an actual 4:3 ratio, given the SD and HD split. EDIT: I have just...

Ah yes, that classic WBD corporate synergy. Even if one side of the company is trying to swallow and burn down the more successful (or more troubled) side of the company for insurance money, it's still kinda neat to see Adult Swim promos on Discovery's own channels. Though I've never seen much...

Some YouTubers and article writers beg to differ.

Being truthful here, I hate this mass panic this news has brought on slightly. While it sucks people have genuinely lost their jobs (I'm not disputing that, but this is expected to happen from a merger), I just hate this mass hysteria that "Cartoon Network is dead!" No, it's not dead, Twitter...

It is an entirely different story, especially in the UK. Adult Swim literally can't air on a children's network, otherwise the only way they'd be able to do it is to split CN and AS as separate channels, akin to the likes of CBBC and BBC Three (CBBC: 7am to 7pm, BBC Three: 7pm to 4am), but...

Many people have said this merger has been destructive, David Zaslav needs to go out, indie animation needs to rise, yadda dabba doo. If I'm being honest, their opinions aren't wrong, and their heads in the right place, but again, it's quite possibly down to how much the company owns. I'm not...

Interesting Redraw Your World only lasted for like... a year, not sure why CN is changing their look every year though.

It is, after all, one of their more popular (pun intended) networks compared to GREAT!, Sony really gave it a better shape and Narrative has definitely went forward with making the network more polished and dare I say, probably a good modern day equivalent to Fox Kids.

If Comcast does buy out Hulu entirely, I feel like you've got a perfect basis to start introducing NOW over there in the States, promoting it as a decent low-cost Xfinity alternative (in the same way NOW is to Sky).

https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/12/queen-dead-itv-confirms-extended-coverage-for-funeral-17360658/ ITV will pull all of their services, including five of their digital channels and ITV Hub, to broadcast the funeral from 6am to midnight. The bigger thing to note is channels like CITV and I assume...

It isn't, I've heard many say "that's not feasibly possible, have you seen Adult Swim Canada?". But the possibility shouldn't be ruled out if it does happen, I mean it's Discovery. They'll want to make more money in any way possible, even if it means cutting Discovery Family out of the picture...

Again, while you could use the recent launch of Teletoon+ as an example for launching a dedicated animation streaming service and Boomerang as an already existing example that WBD aren't doing anything with, I don't see it happening. Hell, I see Boomerang (as a service) closing and possibly...
