April Fool's Day 2020 Thread Collection

The TARDIS has taken “Doctor Who” through time and space and landed on Cartoon Network. The network will air seasons two through four — the ones starring David Tennant as the Doctor — of the eccentric BBC science-fiction this summer.

The second season will preview May 9 with episode one, titled “New Earth,” following the premiere of “Fantastic Four.” The season will continue to roll out starting June 13, with one episode airing daily through June 20.

The network has also confirmed an animated spin-off produced by them, and will premiere in 2021.

I have linked a new trailer to the spin-off.

They aren't airing the Christopher Eccleston episodes? Cartoon Network has screwed up again

 

[superkeegan9100]

Cartoon Network is pushing back the date of its revival of the Hall of Game Awards, joining the growing list of live events, conventions and conferences that are being canceled or postponed amid a global pandemic that has seen over 1,200 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, in the U.S.

Celebrities that were supposed to attend the revival were Seth Rogen, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Wooly the Talking Sheep.

Rumor has it that they've been delaying it to when the situation stabilizes. However by the time it has been erradicated they might as well give up on the idea.

 

[RandomMe]

Rumor has it that they will reboot it for kids.

 

[5YearsOnEastCoast]

It is going to be called MonkeyBound. The plot sypnosis is that Adam Lion from MGPAM has turned into Sans. His best friend Jake Spidermonkey will have to go on a mission to turn him back to normal. While on the journey, there would be people that join his party like Lazlo, Mandy, Ed, Bloo, DeeDee, Johnny Bravo and Courage the Cowardly Dog. They will travel across the country, fighting many enemies and of course they will have to fight Giygas who is teamed up with Aku. Play as classic Cartoon Network characters to save the day. It is set to be released in 2021.

Since Cartoon Network wants to attract the younger demographic, they're bringing back preschool programming. To transition into it, Nature Cat will move from PBS Kids to here before the end of the year.


April Fool's!

Make it on CN EMEA then.

 

[J10]

WarnerMedia is replacing CN Poland, and splits to both Polsat CN (Polish) and CN Cyprus/MENA (English). On the same day, TNT CEE is spliting in Poland into Polsat TCM and Polsat TNT. This affects Boomerang CEE, which has been replaced by Boomerang MENA/Southern Europe (Formerly Boomerang MENA; also available in Greece and Cyprus), in order to revoke the German ones, after moving it's license to Poland and Amsterdam. Here is the logo for Polsat CN:

They're going to air Cartoonito Block on the channel at 6:00 CET until between 10:00 to 10:10 CET.

Actually, most licensed channels Polsat has (the Viasat ones come to mind) just put the Polsat tag regardless of size or proportions to the main portfolio of channels.

Looks like Polsat stole an idea I had back in 2014 (there was also a Polsat Boomerang).

 

[RandomMe]

After nearly 28 years on air, WarnerMedia decided to shut down Cartoon Network as a linear channel effective July 1, 2020. International operations will remain unchanged.

Boomerang, on the other hand, might stay on air for longer. Rumor has it that the channel will shut down by the end of the year.

Boomerang doesn’t have the same programming mix as its foreign counterparts and is more likely to be chopped under Turner’s will.

One growing cause of concern among potential “former viewers” of the linear network is the possible application of censorship measures similar to Cartoon Network’s linear channels worldwide. Many viewers will have to unsusbscribe from HBO Max under such circumstances.

Reason why Turner EMEA censors is revealed

We all know Turner EMEA censors everything, but do you want to know why?

According to insider info, the reason why they censor is because they want to make the channels more educational.

But the real reason?

They want to be the YouTube of linear TV channels. They have their own COPPA and everything.

 

[RandomMe]

In 2014, before the Angry Video Game Nerd made an episode dedicated to this masterpiece, we reported that Hong Kong 97 was being adapted to television as an animated series. Thirteen episodes were shown in 2015 on Cartoon Network for the 20th anniversary of the game's release, but only the American and Japanese feeds aired it.

Despite tightened censorship in an EMEA-ready edit, Cartoon Network has decided to write off the series for good and removing all traces of its existence.

 

[Radiant97]

Already missing Steven Universe even though it just ended 5 days ago? Well you're in luck because we will get to see more of the world of Steven Universe in the form of a spinoff, which will follow fan-favorite character Ronaldo as he journeys to a small town called Amity Calls to investigate all sorts of strange phenomena that allegedly occur there. It will premiere sometime next year on HBO Max.

 

[RandomMe]

Thought it was the Portuguese Ronaldo, the king of paivas (references only Portuguese people like me understand -;-)

 

[ShadowBlinky]

Well, it's better than nothing.

 

[J10]

Like Discovery EMEA, WarnerMedia EMEA Channels (Excluding British, German, Russian, and Turkish WarnerMedia Channels) are now revoking their current licenses, and is now moving their license to Amsterdam. Today, Cartoon Network NL and other channels incl. Cartoon Network Arabic (Boomerang and CN MENA) are the first to put the Dutch ratings on their screen.

CN Arabic are putting the ratings before logo changing in couple of hours and after.

This is CN NL putting the rating in the next bumpers, and when program starts.

 

[RandomMe]

Amsterdam is better than Munich, though.

 

[Red Arrow]

That picture looks so nice I wish it were real, but CN NL is stuck with old graphics AFAIK and it doesn't show any rating symbols.

 

[RandomMe]

I wish they moved the Spanish playouts from Telson in Madrid to Lisbon. This includes CN PT.

 

[J10]

That picture looks so nice I wish it were real, but CN NL is stuck with old graphics AFAIK and it doesn't show any ratings.

Me too, I wish if this would be real, and do what Disocvery does to its EMEA operations. By looking at both Animal Planet Europe and Travel Channel Europe Promos, they have those ratings on the right-top.
