Cartoon Network International News Thread 14.0

[Markus Nelis]

Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry are three franchises no CN feeds should leave behind, seriously now.

At least they are doing it good with Tom and Jerry, despite being (again) on the wrong channel. They keep airing it no matter what. CN CEE is now doing it with Looney Tunes Cartoons, though I don't know how long they will keep it after the new episodes are done premiering. But if not this incarnation, then even New Looney Tunes or The Looney Tunes Show can work. Anything to just not let these characters die, who are considered the "patriarchs" of WBD.

Both Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry are WB's most oldest properties. Scooby has also been around for decades and became such a big hit. They should treat them well.

they are still giving new slots for Jade Armor even now after they are done with the new episodes? Interesting... But again, the German feed has another way of neglecting their shows, which is somehow better than what CEE is doing

[Francisque]

You can have a more varied schedule also because of less airtime given to advertising and reliance on ratings as a consequence, I guess.

BTW it makes sense in this age: make Boomerang a proper "more preschooler" channel and make Cartoon Network more "varied".

In the UK Nickelodeon vs Nicktoons (often a marathon channel for Nick) and Nick Jr is like this.

still too much Gumball, TTG and Ninjago than it should be, but yeah. The schedule does look good enough with the Scooby and Looney Tunes shows added. The only thing missing, though, is Tom and Jerry.

You should know by now that T&J is on another channel. No point to air in both channels at the same time.

With the Cartoonito rollout in EMEA now complete, they can now focus their efforts on rebranding Cartoon Network.

I don't think it got mentioned already, but German (texted) feeds updated their screenbug for new episodes a while ago:

It will be by late 2023 or early 2024 they are going to censor it first before it is released.

and CN CEE, still nothing anymore. Not even a simple sign.

Unless US wants to rebrand AGAIN this November. It's kinda sad they want to rebrand/mini refresh each year now. I wouldn't be surprised if EMEA skips Pastel, too. I'll be surprised if current CN US rebrand lasts for longer. And I think it should, fits well at the moment.

If the U.S. doesn't rebrand this year, I think EMEA will adopt Pastel. The U.S. keeps changing their look every year, and by the time they changed their look, its already outdated. I think there's a need for an international graphics package like what Disney Channel has, so the channels can rebrand in their own time and don't have to follow the U.S. all the time. Also some rebrands can be rather lackluster.

That "new" bug is shown during promos on CN Nordic. However during new episodes they're still using the Check it 4.0 version.

 

[ballwa44]

That's another point: the Munich team isn't exactly always the benchmark of quality

7 years later and this is still the case, lovely innit.

I hope so.

When Check It 4.0 was launched, they were used in several places, but for the FTA Arabic feed, it was skipped to Dimensional in 2017 and Check It 4.0 templates where only used for CN MENA (Premium) when it got launched, and for some promos for events, CN Cinema Next Bumper, and an ad filler promo during continuities.


RYW was supposed to be used in EMEA, if the merger isn't finalized yet in April 2022, however, it got scrapped, and turned into a campaign. So, it's time now to focus on rebranding CN Asia, CN LA, and also CN EMEA channels.

 

[Daffyrocks]

Notice how in this promo, because of the CEE team not knowing any better (for the n-th time), the endboard has basically another endboard inside, as they didn't time the video footage as it should! When they could have just used the promo without alternating it.


Also, considering the textless CN feeds are used to have the show's official logos in English, plus the fact it can be seen on the endboard, they made extra work for no reason to have Bugs draw something else on the chalkboard instead of the show's logo. Not to mention that the clips used are from earlier episodes already aired, but I know that is how the promo was made and the feeds used it as so (MENA used another promo used earlier by the UK feed)

They started doing that recently, when they adapted some of the Nordic habits. Normally they never did that.
