Adult Swim International News Thread

[superkeegan9100]

Initially [adult swim] Canada had a similar running time to its US counterpart but was later reduced in a way like The Detour on Teletoon. I wouldn't be surprised to see The Detour being discontinued as well.

It's called "Teletoon at Night" now...

It has emerged that Adult Swim Canada might relaunch on 1st April, after a billboard appeared in Toronto.

 

[RandomMe]

Maybe it will resume on another channel, if Canada's regulations regarding [as]-esque content on kids channel will tighten.

Seem unlikely that it will tighten.

As far as I know, if Corus discontinue the Adult Swin block. Then it might just be a hint that the new Adult Swim Canada won't be held by them anymore. It wil probably be Bell, Rogers or a suprise third option.

 

[Checkerboard]

They should just copy/paste or simulcast Adult Swim US imo at this point.

I thought so, too, but that billboard is from Corus.

Yup, they really are ditching the Adult Swim block on CN Canada. They even made a new promo after nearly 2 years:

This might mean that AS is headed for another Corus network. Adult show laws on Canadian kids channels have not been relinquished yet.

 

[Checkerboard]

Love it. Reminds me of the old 90s promos for when CN became 24/7 in Europe.

You're likelier to see fewer regulations on content than that happen.

[Mohji]

The Adult Swim Canada website has been removed. In its place is this cryptic note.

 

[Red Arrow]

Okay, so Adult Swim will be back on April 1st, but will it stay or is it just for one day?

 

[RandomMe]

Or maybe it will move to another network.

 

[Ragin' Ronic]

Actually, [as] Canada is about to become it's OWN network...

O.O

I feel this topic is worthy enough to become its own thread.

But wow, this is surprising news. I wonder if they'll finally bring the newer AS shows and Toonami there.

EDIT: Already made the thread!

 

[BlooMac]

Adult Swim returns to France as a block on the Toonami channel:

La chaîne ADULT SWIM débarque en France et sur les territoires francophones en juillet

ADULT SWIM, la marque n°1 des Millénials aux US ainsi que le producteur et diffuseur du phénomène mondial Rick & Morty, se lance sur le marché français.

www.megazap.fr

Shows at launch will include Rick and Morty, Final Space and Robot Chicken. Primal will premiere later this year. There's also going to be a SVOD service that'll feature Mr. Pickles, The Venture Bros. and Black Jesus.

How ironic...an Adult Swim block on a Toonami channel...
