Does this apply to the MEDIASET-owned Boing channels in Italy and Spain?

They only mentioned the French, which is fully owned by WarnerMedia. Both Mediaset-owned Boing channels have their own licenses (not Czech), and are unaffected by the changes.

Read the article there.

Weren't they already confirmed on the 18th November?, the last article I read was from 20th November, unless this means that HBO Europe now officially have these licences.

They said they officially have it. They mentioned that it’ll be affected by January 1st, 2021.

Cartoon Network Japan February 2021 Highlights

- Some kind of "Cat Month" programming stunt, where they air shows starring cats every Sunday afternoon at 10:00-12:00 and 16:00-18:00. (Gumball, Mao Mao, Sylvester & Tweety, and Oggy I think?)
- "Long-awaited" new episodes of Gumball will finally air in Japan
- A show called "Shizuku-chan" (しずくちゃんパッ) joins the channel lineup

Africa has nice bumpers

CN Africa have some funny bumpers now and again, especially when they do April Fools.

France Xmas

CN Africa have some funny bumpers now and again, especially when they do April Fools.

These bumpers make me miss CN Africa a lot. I wonder what would have happened if it was still the EMEA feed.

These bumpers make me miss CN Africa a lot. I wonder what would have happened if it was still the EMEA feed.

Luckily, some of these bumpers are uploaded onto YouTube by TV continuity channels and in most cases by the staff who made the presentation onto Vimeo or sometimes Behance so they can be enjoyed by everyone.

I can't find the EMEA promos for the premieres of Ben 10 / My GymPartner's a Monkey (in 2006, one promo) and Fantastic 4 (in 2007). Are they lost?

I guess so.

Hmmmm... it looks like CN NL gets 8 or 9 new European programs every five years.
We still get just as much European programs as in the past, but they are taken off the air quickly.
They COULD air more European programs at night instead of so much Gumball, but they don't seem to care at all.

It makes much more sense to have non-Wintery specific graphics for Sub-Saharan Africa, and the French team seems good at spending money on them

Does this mean that from 1 January 2021 when this Czech license comes there will be no censorship on CN shows on CN Poland?

What does CN UK mostly use as filler

Does this mean that from 1 January 2021 when this Czech license comes there will be no censorship on CN shows on CN Poland?

Unfortunately no, the channel will still be subject to UK regulations, the Czech licence only exists to ensure legal carriage of the channel via streaming after the Brexit transition period has ended, WarnerMedia only filed for satellite licenses for countries that did not sign the 1989 Council of Europe broadcasting treaty. As the stream is a clone of the feed via satellite, it will also be subject to the same rules.

There maybe some good news however, WarnerMedia Poland is now treated seperately, but with some affiliation with the German operations, whether this means Poland will continue to receive the additional edits imposed by the German team, I do not know.

What does CN UK mostly use as filler

CN UK very rarely uses fillers as the channel is fully ad-supported, plus sponsorships. However during the COVID-19 lockdown in the summer, there were these Adventure Time music video fillers, Lamput shorts, as well as Lockdown Dropdown due to the drop in ad revenue.

Ben 10 Challenge was European. A handful of versions were made for different markets. We got the Spanish version, dubbed but with the Spanish track in the second audio track normally reserved for English. Strange since Doraemon was in Portuguese on both audio channels

 

[RegularCapital]

All localised versions of Ben 10 Challenge were filmed in Madrid, Spain by La Competencia Productions.
