i don't get it. i'm not wrong though. For real, linear channels shouldn't focus on classics. Shows from 5 years ago wouldn't help either since that doesn't help them to increase ratings. It's going to be more Gumball and Teen Titans Go which I'm going to say it very honestly and I think it's not a question, are money makers.

Why can't I compare US to EMEA? It's fair to say that they're nostalgic because they know that most people there are outside demo audience. My point still stands that EMEA should stay as it is because it seems the current strategy works for them. They wouldn't stick with it either if it failed. If there's content kids like, there shouldn't be a problem. Adults can go to Max for variety. It can't be that expensive. Or switch the channel for variety. People complain way too much these days. CN has been targeting kids completely since mid 2010s. It's not a new thing. Be happy what you get. Things can get a lot worse.

Also don't act like CN shows now suck. Craig of the Creek is fantastic Adventure Time level show. And coming soon to EMEA is Tiny Toons Looniversity. I watched it and it was enjoyable. I honestly didn't like Mighty Magiswords and PPG reboot. And these came out in mid 2010s. CN has always had some bad shows.

Overall, CN is still good, only schedulling needs fixing really. I'm glad there are some CN defenders like me. It's not that bad. I don't see it being bad.

The problem is in the tight budgets here and limited age range.

Or other factors, like the quality of the dub or (worse even) censorship outside of the USA.

 

[Vuxovich]

Is the recent Bakugan series dubbed into Serbian?

OSN and Warner Bros. Discovery expand partnership in the Middle East and North Africa: OSN and Warner Bros. Discovery have joined forces to enhance entertainment offerings on OSNtv starting from 1st January 2024. Cartoon Network, Fatafeat, and Animal Planet will be added to OSN’s channel lineup.

I guess that's the end of BeIN's satellite TV exclusivity over Cartoon Network MENA.

EDIT: Nothing about Cartoonito, but I think this is the first time OSN will get the MENA feed, when the pay version of Cartoon Network left OSN, it was the African version.

Maybe it’ll get deleted from beIN’s Channel list without further notice, or it’ll be non-exclusive.

For CN, it was announced months ago that they’ll add Cartoon Network channels to OSN, from what I read in Variety, after they renewed their deal with WBD, and it isn’t something new.

@Francisque I could record it maybe to help you understand what I mean. Basically with Nick you can see when the opt out starts and ends. With CN you can't. It's as if it was automated and calculated by the playout computer. Promo ends and we get Czech dubbed fillers (like in 2017/18) and then it cuts back to the feed's ident before the show.

 

[Moleoman]

Slightly off-top: Apparently, the main reason, various CN feeds don't bother to premiere new episodes of "Angelo Rules" is the fact that the show changed international distributors - it has disappeared from Cake Entertainment's site: https://cakeentertainment.com/catalogue?page[size]=48

Meanwhile, the show's Christmas special is distributed by APC Kids: Deals of the Holidays

Why wouldn't it? It works for Disney Channel. Cartoon Network should try to copy what worked in the past and what still works for its competitors.

My point still stands that EMEA should stay as it is because it seems the current strategy works for them. They wouldn't stick with it either if it failed.

Belgium, like most of Western Europe, doesn't have HBO Max. We are getting it in late 2024.

 

[Checkerboard]

I think i figured why no snowflake. Bug consistency across optouts maybe

 

[Markus Nelis]

I was really talking to Central Europe audience specfically to go watch it. It seems to me most people here complain about it are from CEE area.

With Disney Channel, it depends where you live. I don't really view other feed's schedules but I know that EMEA feed doesn't air shows from 5 years ago outside of Walk the Prank. I didn't check your countries' schedule but I'm sure most Disney Channels don't air old shows. Maybe for sure it works for The Netherlands but your CN feed likes to copy the things German feeds do.

Yeah. Sorry but I still think all the kids channels everywhere need to be relevant for those who still prefer to watch linear TV only. CN Nordic, for example, is doing a great job in this case. If it weren't for the ex-German team, we probably wouldn't be that boring on the line-up.

CN left OSN when the region had CN Africa and now it will return to OSN but under the localized feed created in 2016. At the time, the change of feed proved to be awful for the viewers, for what I recall

 

[Francisque]

5 years isn't that big time lapse anyway, it isn't very hard for a channel to show something from 5 years ago (or less).

Have channels really become so boring, predictable and no risk taking?

Yeah. Sorry but I still think all the kids channels everywhere need to be relevant for those who still prefer to watch linear TV only. CN Nordic, for example, is doing a great job in this case. If it weren't for the ex-German team, we probably wouldn't be that boring on the line-up.

I accept streaming might become even more relevant in the future, but it's no big excuse for such a lack of imagination on a schedule in general: people still pay for a channel.
We're not talking about having loads of classics there or even some, just use some of the more recent archive.

Granted, it's not my first priority, but 6 hrs of Gumball is QUITE excessive

Look Like Zaslav plans to merge with Paramount which owns Nickelodeon and if this happens.
The crossover between Nick and Cartoon Network will be stronger than before. Paramount will have
The Willy Wonka franchise is back alongside Looney Tunes but with added Harry Potter, and others.

What do you guys think about this possible merger with another company?
Do you think it will happen or may be not? Who knows.

 

[Markus Nelis]

I doubt people pay for TV just to watch one channel. People can easily switch to another channel. I honestly watch other channels more than CN even when my feed has a pretty darn good schedule outside of the 6 hour TTG marathon. Main reason CN Nordic even is good is thanks to a big reshuffle with ex-Boomerang shows coming to the channel.

Some Nickelodeon shows may be cancelled due to taxes. And so, many channels return home to Warner

Indeed but if the merger happens, this will be idk either good bad, better or worse.

Let's just pretend this wasn't brought on. Ok?
