Old International Cartoon Networks Schedules

On Sky analogue, it was until 30 June 2001.

Until when did the UK have a CN / TCM timeshared channel?

The pan-European TCM got 1 hour back on April 1st, 2003 and they used that extra hour to air documentaries about American cinema.

Yes, Sky switched off its analogue services on 30th June 2001 marking the official end, however at that point in time CN/TNT/TCM was never a part of a Sky package, it's just a vast majority of satellite TV viewers were Sky subscribers, which is where the association comes from. Turner switched off the analogue transmission slightly earlier than everyone else at 12am on 30th June, meanwhile all the other channels continue to air on analogue satellite's final day.

On analogue cable, it continued for years (just as a converted version of the digital feed, alternating between CN and TCM) as each area was switched off individually, the last areas were Milton Keynes and Westminster (Central London, ironically where CN's offices were) they couldn't be upgraded to digital as BT who owned the cables refused them so they were simply turned off at the turn of the last decade, elsewhere people were encouraged to switch over to digital cable. However, I'm not entirely sure how long CN/TCM lasted on analogue cable.

German broadcasters were queuing up for transponder slots on Astra 1 and the UK was transitioning to its own digital satellite grouping - Astra 2.

The end of Cartoon Network/TCM on Analogue Satellite:

June 30th, 2001 is a very suspicious date! That's around the time Bulgaria and Serbia stopped receiving the British feed (probably that exact same day).

I think the end of CN UK on Analogue Satellite and the start of the non-UK pan-feed are two events that are connected, there was only a month in-between the analogue turn-off and when Dutch feed closed, with CN NL reverting to the pan-feed.

Also I found this from the old Turner Europe website:

This was the structure of Cartoon Network's EMEA feeds in October 2002. The pan-feed was also referred to as "English and Dutch" in terms of languages, serving The Middle East, Israel, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Portugal, Greece, Netherlands and Belgium. This also proves that Malta never had CN HQ.

"24 hours"
Except for us poor Dutch and Portuguese who still had it timeshared for no reason

It was timeshared as the cable operators also wanted TCM for their subscribers and didn't want to pay for both channels around the clock.

From April 25th, 2008 until November 17th, 2010, some TV providers in the Netherlands and Flanders started airing the African feed at night (in English) because TCM had its own channel anyway. The Cramp Twins was available with Dutch subtitles via Teletext on the African feed. Same with Looney Tunes and The Scooby-Doo Show, but those didn't air at night.

Dcbanners said he remembered that the African feed had green arrows at night during the Arrow era, but that is lost media.

 

[Checkerboard]

Looking through old schedules recently here I was surprised that the following shows still aired on CN Europe/UK in summer 1997 (probably their last airing):

Pirates of Dark Water
Swat Kats
Pacman
Back to Bedrock
Ivanhoe
Omer and the Star Child

BTW, funnily enough in the Czech tv guides the shows had Czech names (as with other foreign channels), but the translations where often funny and wrong.

Cartoon Network UK schedule from January 2011:

 

[Red Arrow]

November 2005 (the premiere of The Life and Times of Juniper Lee on CN Pan-Euro)
...
friday-sunday:
06:00 Ed, Edd n Eddy
06:25 Codename: Kids Next Door
06:50 The Powerpuff Girls
07:15 Johnny Bravo
07:40 The Cramp Twins
08:00 The Life and Times of Juniper Lee

No wonder I have never seen Juniper Lee in the Blocks era! I was never allowed to watch TV before 08:30.

It is remarkable that Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi only aired from May 2005 until February/March/April 2007. It was gone within 2 years. Even Class of 3000 was longer on air.

As far as I can tell, it was mostly Grim & Evil and Foster's that had horrible premiere timeslots for Flanders. Billy and Mandy finally got a prime-time slot starting late 2004, after a rather horrible treatment for two years. But then it got a good treatment for years. Foster's timeslot was quickly rectified in comparison, after a couple of months.

Cartoon Network Pan-European in March 2005 (At this time most of classics were deleted from schedule). Changes from February schedule are bolded

Only 20 programs remained in the daytime schedule! In the next couple of years, another 21 programs premiered. So 41 programs from March 2005 until April 2009. (late Blocks and City era)

This is the cartoon network I watched when I was a kid they had so much variety back in the mid late 2000s when did cartoon network EMEA start losing variety in their schedule did it start like in 2012-2013

[Francisque]

It was timeshared as the cable operators also wanted TCM for their subscribers and didn't want to pay for both channels around the clock.

Indeed, promotions didn't want to make people think they could get the channel 24/7, only on cable operators.

Moreover, it was clearly more intended for the UK, not for those markets where the channel was not localized, e.g. Portugal

 

[zakawer2]

Does anyone have a CN MENA schedule from before October 2016 (i.e. when Steven Universe was part of the feed's schedule)? I've had very little luck finding one myself, despite the feed being relatively recent.

 

[Moleoman]

11:30 AM: Dumb and Dumber? Norwegian Title: Sau i Storbyen

That was "Sheep in the Big City": Sau i storbyen (TV-serie)

5:30 PM: Nabobarna (Another Scandinavian Cartoon?)

Actually, it's "Codename: Kids Next Door": Kodenavn: Nabobarna (TV-serie)

6:30 PM: World of Tosh (Wasn't this also on Toon Disney?)

The show never aired on Toon Disney in Scandinavia.

 

[Red Arrow]

CN Europe aired Mike Lu and Og for the last time on July 4th, 2004 at 06:00 CET (not counting the night airings in MEA). But they kept airing promos for it until AT LEAST 2006!

 

[BlooMac]

Actually, the last airing was on October 29 or 30, 2005, when the show returned for a single airing, as part of their special Halloween lineup. They aired the episode "Night of the Living Ancestors".
