Kids, Young Adults and Classics. “We’ve got a lot of news, and a lot to talk about, so I hope you all can join.”


Building on the core foundation of WarnerMedia’s Kids and Family offering, advertisers will now have the ability to reach expanded audiences through new content and programing blocks and leveraging all of WarnerMedia’s distribution touchpoints, including HBO Max.

I hope Elliott from Earth comes to the U.S. considering the UK will premiere this show on March 4.

It premieres on 6th March, but early March nonetheless. It seems that the show has been delayed, it would of premiered late last year. Elliott From Earth will start off with a four episode special with the other episodes airing later in the year in the UK and the rest of Europe. It maybe the case that the U.S. will have the full premiere first.

I remember when Gumball first premiered, CN UK had the sneak peek world premiere, but the U.S. had a full premiere the next day. In fact, it's only two months short from Gumball's 10th Birthday.

Next Wednesday better come quickly because I’m tired of seeing AT&T constantly messing up CN’s future.

Well looks like there’s about 5 days left until the upfront starts. Thank goodness, I don’t have school next week so I can actually watch the event. Hope we get some interesting news.

I can't imagine anything will come from the upfronts that will change your assessment. AT&T is probably going to keep on doing what they've already done.
