Going FTA won't help Sky at all, I think it will all boil down to an agreement with HBO Max, and CN Italy will be replaced with the West Europe version
Maybe a same thing will be for CN In mena since they're at the late new programing and late new episodes

I feel that the CN WE change would have happened waaay earlier. But here we are, sitting with CN Italy all alone. Maybe with the FTA thing, that somewhat fantasious fusion with Boing could actually be real?

They have plans for it though :) (which, on Sky minds, are supposed to helped), but I don't know whether they are really going to shut CN and Boom down at this point

Boing is probably too strong of a brand and will be left untouched
K2 and Frisbee are easily sacrificable, no objection there
That't the possible outcome.
Better than the current CN Italy, but I think CN West Europe in Italy is for now wishful thinking

Yes, until recently Nick Italy aired 44 cats during the late nights instead of normal shows
I don't know what CN Italy airs overnight because of the EU quotas. Probably Gumball.

44 Cats there was justified because it's an Italian show, based on an Italian song and financed by Rai Ragazzi.

IMO the most likely contender for an FTA CN is Boing Plus, during the last week of October they tested pop-up programming for the first time in the channel's history by airing TTG for a week non-stop.

Also worth noting K2 and Frisbee are surprisingly upgrading to HD playouts by the end of this week despite WBD having left them to their own fates this year (especially K2 whose purpose recently became a dump for lowcost self-productions and DeAgostini shows)

Nope, they used to air some weird show that also airs on boom during late night and they still air a Ben 10 game show during 10pm or so

The weird show is animated and I think they stopped airing it in late August-Early September

Happy 60th anniversary to A Charlie Brown Christmas and 22nd anniversary to I want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown!
Half a decade in and so many amazing cartoons have been released, hopefully this continues into the decade.

Do you have Discord?
I think i'm slowly getting used to 60FPS interpolation now that I have a TV with it
I still wish if Netflix should have added any CN shows that are removed from HBO Max... Still wish if they added like Summer Camp Island, etc. :(
