Again, I have to mention it's your opinion after all. Not a fact. I personally think Be Cool beats What's New easily.

yeah, it's my opinion

 

[Markus Nelis]

yeah, it's my opinion

That wasn't a question, I already knew.

CZ still isn't fully localized!

CZ still isn't fully localized!

Not only that, but it has ceased as a channel and turned into Cartoonito

Not only that, but it has ceased as a channel and turned into Cartoonito

All CEE feeds did that actually since they share the same channel

You will never get your own feed. Sorry but the way I see it, we will see more merging in the future as it's much easier to manage the channels that way and it's much cheaper. Nordics have already seen Disney Channel merged with Africa. I don't doubt that Cartoonito Nordic will be fully merged with CEE in the late 20s. We have everything textless outside of the "HELT NY" added to promos. To me that sounds logical. Both feeds pretty much air the same shows outside of Cocomelon which isn't on the Nordic schedule

I know, I was being ironic there lol
It's just that he seems to have forgotten about the channel having been shut down

I think he was thinking more of all programmes, continuity dubbed = localization?

He knows I think they'll never get a properly localized feed for Cartoonito, I mean, not even CN there is

With so many tracks in Cartoonito CEE....I doubt it.
And CN CEE...we ask too much from them

 

[Checkerboard]

Yeah i meant the audio. There are still segments in english. Crazy.

 

[Francisque]

Yeah, that's bad and poorly planned

It's not impossible, at all

For them...it is
They just don't want to

 

[Markus Nelis]

Every preschool show currently airing are dubbed though. I don't see a problem. It's all about merging and I'm sure WBD will start this strategy soon. They like to have less stuff and merging is one way to do it.

 

[Francisque]

They MIGHT think about turning Cartoonito Nordic into a kind an ad-free Cartoonito CEE for Russian-speaking territories (well, excluding Russia), Scandinavia and so on, but i don't know, WBD (as Turner, later WB) as always been less merged and more locally differentiated than Paramount, which has always been more of a mess, but maybe, with cost-cutting measures, things might well change in the future.

However, that would solve the annoying fillers situation (lasting something like 5 minutes) where the channel operates with no advertising, especially for Scandinavia.

As for the language tracks: adding another track or two, while costly, is no hard task, even if they already have many languages operating within one channel.

He wants the audio to fully be dubbed, including the promos.

For feed merger, other companies like Paramount and Disney merged the feeds (e.g. MTV Hits and VH1 (Now called MTV 00s) in Latin America and Disney for the Nordics and before that, the Baltics, because of Allente removing Disney in the Nordics), so why not WBD follow them at an earlier time than the late 20s, as still the companies won't return the channels back to Russia, and it's necessary for the merger to be done by this time.

What WBD done was that they changed managements after one year and having a random one (France, Benelux, and Africa joining GAS/DACH countries, and not splitting the role of the market to parts, nor putting Nordics with DACH countries), since Branco has left WBD, but as of this quote, these decisions shouldn't affect the management of the channels.

I'm almost sure these shouldn't affect too much the management of channels.

E.g. likely the CEE channels will continue to look "German"

 

[Checkerboard]

Yeah, nevermind the promos lol, there are still shows in english too and i just find that bizarre. Like, that is something that shouldn't be happening. Maybe 10-20% of content. The promos I can forgive, albeit I shouldn't since other tracks have dubbed promos, but this after two years? I can't. It's a perfect example of poor both internal and external communication.

Boomerang's Christmas schedule this year is similar to CN UK, but both are lacking a lot of holiday specials as usual.

Their weekend consists of Mr Bean from 11:00 til 17:00, while some christmas/wintery episodes are shown from 07:00 til 11:00, and 18:00 til 20:00. Boomerang Cinema is at 09:00 and 17:00.

And a majority of episodes are just winter themed and one-offs. For instance, they're showing only one of the two Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries episodes (Feather Christmas/A Fist Full of Lutefisk)
