Do you think the new feed can be better or not

Yes and no?
This merge is to reduce costs,I don't see much progress in any other aspect
Maybe will be easy to rebrand all at once ? (whenever that will be..)

 

[JulianRO]

Rebrand to RDYW or Pastel (from what I've seen, both aren't too unlikely)

They need to get rebranded like how other feeds did. I mean, the RDYW is around for almost 3 years.

 

[Daffyrocks]

They are more likely to fully rebrand to Dimensional, than to RYW, which is now like 3 years old. Besides, the German feeds are already still making new station idents in Dimensional style.

 

[RandomMe]

But Poland will already merge.

Ironic for Poland to make a double merge considering it's a sizeable economy.

 

[Markus Nelis]

No rebrand. Sorry but we hoped for too much and thought they would rebrand. They won't rebrand until the US rebrands. They will keep the mixed look. They will keep the Dimensional next bumpers for newer shows. UK hasn't rebranded, doesn't mean that German feeds will.

 

[Francisque]

Only thing that's different is textless promos. German feeds especially now are the same than ever. Don't really expect a lot of changes to presentation. Poland will air ads like usually.

They need to use the same assets starting September 2nd, so there are two choices:

1: Continue using Dimensional + update all remaining assets (which I kind of doubt)
2: Rebrand to RDYW or Pastel (from what I've seen, both aren't too unlikely)

Please give us something different!

It's been more than 5 years now...

 

[Markus Nelis]

Not to bring any bad energy here. I had too much of hope but I share my pessimism now because they just wouldn't do a dang thing. It comes down to laziness of the current management now.

One thing though: we're not sure about anything and our expectations and hopes are often not respected

It doesn't mean anything could or could not happen, so let's not just state this or that and take it as a universal rule; we just don't know

Just because CN UK has not rebranded it doesn't mean much; it's not taken for granted CN UK has to rebrand in Summer

It's a general piece of advice more than anything

In a way or the other: a "new" feed with some Check It 4.0 Next bumpers would look odd, especially for Portugal

 

[BloggerHU]

Personal opinion: I don't think it will happen this big merging. They will merge only the schedules, probably because the programming team is reduced, and is more easy to manage only one schedule, but the feeds will stay as how are they now (CEE, PL, RSEE).

 

[JulianRO]

It doesn't make sense honestly to keep the same schedules on all feeds. Either merge them or change them so that the feeds "look" different to each other.

 

[Markus Nelis]

Julian, It actually does make sense to merge as it's much easier and cheaper to do. I'm one of those people who doesn't have a problem at all and I understand why the merging will be done. I don't care. As long as feeds don't get shut down. Everyone basically airs the same promos and shows now.

The schedules will look the same either way
With the same shows and TTG with Gumball on the first place.
I don't think they will ever change it unless the kids will focus on other shows

Of course, I also agree with merging.

I'm sure they will have Portugal dub these CI 4.0 bumpers. That or they will finally get a full Dimensional look. I don't really expect a complete new rebrand until CN US rebrands. Even if they finally get the full Dimensional look, I don't consider it a rebrand. Just that Dimensional will be a complete look without mixing looks.

 

[Two Two's]

I know it's highly unlikely but CN should rebrand here in the EMEA region, this is a perfect chance to rebrand the feeds if they go with the merger.

Waiting is no big deal

Let's just wait for these final judgements

 

[Two Two's]

We just have to see the outcome of this. In the meantime we can reminisce of what CN EMEA (As a whole) was prior to this conundrum.

This wouldn't make sense as the channels are operated by the same editorial team and wouldn't save money

Plus, with all the moves happening in September, who would really be surprised?

Of course some subfeeds will be needed

Not only that, they have to meet different needs for each feed. So subfeeds are 100% needed

They're taken for granted for advertising reasons, as they're now
