There will never be a replacement worthy of its name. By that I mean a kids channel all in English. It's all unviable. On top of that our directors of programming (talking about the terrestrial networks) seem to think that hundreds of thousands don't understand subtitles and foreign movies were removed from schedule. What I wanted to convey was that kids nowadays don't have an English-language immersion experience - the internet is just not the same.
Precisely the first show I saw when I woke up on December 7, 2010

Mr. Bean won't air on CN anymore because the new EMEA management is too stubborn and wants to consider it can make something out of the character for a preschool audience. Also, King of Atlantis won't return at all becuase 1. it was a miniseries with three long episodes and 2. it was written-off for good. Of course, most of the cartoons that left won't return anytime soon until new episodes are due to come (at this point Jade Armor is long overdue for it). And those three "Cartoonito" shows (Bugs Bunny Builders, Batwheels and Grizzy) are there only because of the Cartoonito block they want to put on your throats on CN NL, otherwise you would have been left with 7 shows which could have been even worse for ya.
But I don't understand why they started doing that. Cartoon Network never had that tactic, at least not here. I associate this with cartoon blocks that don't have enough broadcasting time, not a 24h channel.
Most feeds around the world have become a tragedy. They won't bring us the classics again because the viewers most feeds have differ from CN USA's, which is pandering towards nostalgia nowadays to a certain extent.
Indeed, asking for classics on CN is almost undoable, but having more variety, is it asking a lot?
Not perfect, but definitely more ideal than the current Gumbal channel
(which, btw, is "Plot Hole", that premiered today)
The thing is, most viewers that watch cable are adults now in the US. Kids are busy on Tiktok. I'm sure there are majority of the kids watching CN in EMEA more than outside the actual demo. Plus kids want to see the shows that they grow up with in this generation, meaning ongoing shows. Anothe factor is that even advertisers aren't interested to throw their money during the network's old shows. While US is more strong when it comes to the marketing.
One thing has to be said: people wishing for classics to be back on CN, clearly don't indeed know that kids channel are supposed to cater kids, so they have to renovate themselves very often.
If adverts are not there, then I suppose Czechia receives the raw feed, so that's why it's so smooth
In the US CN has a much more prominent role, I don't even understand why CN US and our CNs are being compared.
