Cartoonito CEE already airs European shows during the day so they don't need to fulfill the quota at night. CN CEE airs Gumball at night because European shows don't have much airtime during the daytime. Therefore they need ot fulfill the quota at night.

Well, speaking of Cartoonito, they do air European stuff during the day mostly, but they neglect the ones that fit more. Of course

 

[Markus Nelis]

We've had this conversation already of what fits or doesn't. It comes out as everyone has different opinion. I've said this before, they're more foucsed on making Cartoonito the family entertainment brand. And I don't mind them going in that route.

I know but I just can't help it. And sorry, but Cartoonito being the family entertainment brand is wrong. CN should be in that category and they can do it if they just cut it out already with the censors. CN should be for families and kids, Cartoonito for the toodlers

I think it comes down to this being your opinion. It's not wrong to try target towards the family. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Francisque]

There's no rule of thumb with channels.

If WBD EMEA wants Cartoonito to be CN-lite or a more family friendly and less pushy CN, let be it, particularly with countries which have no Boomerang

Cartoonito UK started to use the same arrows as CEE (+ France, MENA, Nordic, Turkey...), rather than text, in their next/now/later bumpers.
It looks like they're going in the same direction as Cartoon Network Poland, Germany and Netherlands, having only an arrow meaning "up next", while the new episode bug still has text.

Note: the next banner for Interstellar Ella still has text, and no other bumpers got changed.

What the...I'm very surprised.

But it's a one off thing, they might have forgot text

Maybe, though I wouldn't really say that's the case, since they still have the "NEW" text. Also the fact that it's like that for so many different bumpers. Time will tell, we need to wait until the premiere of another new show to find out.

 

[Checkerboard]

feed merge... again?

 

[Francisque]

feed merge... again?

I doubt WBD UK has has any intention to merge with any other feed they don't control directly.

The UK being a too large and productive market

Not surprising, considering that they've also dropped the times on the promos on CN, Boomerang and Cartoonito lately. It seems that they're keeping things as minimal as possible, its like they're "Nickelodeonising" the feeds, but still retaining most of the localisation, even the NEW bug.

Maybe its their new standard of branding by reducing text to a minimum, so any future rebrands in EMEA can happen in one swoop.

New Christmas specials for Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders is coming to Cartoonito Africa Drafted: What To Expect On Cartoon Network And Cartoonito Across Africa In December 2023?

Cartoonito CEE Schedule and Highlights for December 2023

- New episodes of Bugs Bunny Builders (S1E36-40) premiere starting from 4th December. Literally the final 5 episodes of the season, initially labeled as the "Bugs Bunny Builders: World Tour" storyarc, will air in five days at 16:00 CET, until 8th December. They will be shown by Cartoonito CEE just one week after they're done airing in America on Cartoon Network's Cartoonito block, which makes me wonder if I should be surprised or not that they want to burn off the show that quick. Reruns will be on the day after at 08:00 and 12:00 CET.
- One new Batwheels minisode (at least new to the channel) will air on 9th December at 09:50 CET, called "The Best Present in the World", which centers around the holidays.
- "Christmas Storytime" holiday marathons begin airing from 18th December, everyday from 07:00 till 10:00 CET, all till New Year's Eve day (will have to see if they will continue afterwards). Each day one show will air for three whole hours as part of the block. As part of the marathons, the following shows will rotate daily: Mr. Bean, Grizzy and The Lemmings, The Tom and Jerry Show, Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders.
- The DTV special Tom and Jerry: Santa's Little Helpers will also premiere and air for the first time on the channel since the rebrand to Cartoonito 24/7. It will be shown on 20th December at 07:00 CET and will rerun whenever Tom and Jerry is part of the Christmas marathons on the respective days.

And here is the whole schedule for the month:

As you can see, there are no relevant changes aside the addition of the Christmas marathons soon. I won't even start bragging about how wrong they are by promoting even during special blocks the series that clearly don't fit with the theme of the channel. I am clearly disgusted at this...

Head Into The Holidays With Great Prizes And The Best Shows From Cartoon Network And Cartoonito Africa

[Boomerang Archive]

Missed this out of nowhere.
Despite not being shown on the network (yet??), Pocoyo is now on Cartoonito UK and Ireland. Season 4 is currently available to stream on NOW.

https://www.nowtv.com/gb/watch/kids/collections/cartoonito/asset/pocoyo/iYEQZ2efa1v5ZjvB893tK7

 

[Markus Nelis]

Speaking of Pocoyo, it aired on the Cartoonito Nordic block in June for a short time. Ever since the full channel launched, it hasn't returned. Why acquire it if you don't want to air it for a while is questionable.

 

[Daffyrocks]

Pocoyo is even on HBO Max CEE here and it got local dubs, while it never got to be shown on the actual Cartoonito block / channel despite being released on streaming way before the arrival of Cartoonito.

It only makes sense that they wanted to air it on Cartoonito CEE at some point but they changed their mind for some mad reason

 

[zQwmy]

This morning at 06:00 CET, Cartoonito CEE disabled the screenbug, rating bugs and even subfeeds?

Edit:
At 11:29 CET, they enabled everything again meaning it's back to normal.
I think they wanted to finally remove the rating bugs but accidentally disabled too much?
Nothing happened here in Germany, (At this moment it's still a seperate video feed being connected to the raw one. The purpose of this was probably not to have the rating bugs or/and to split from CEE again if possible.) so this might be very likely.
