SBC was launched by Westinghouse and Metromedia in 1974.

Saban bought it in 1999.

Ah.

 

[TheFaultsofAlts]

Ah.

Plus, Saban wasn't around in 1974. HAIM Saban was, but the company wasn't.

I don't mind that. British TV voices just sound so pleasant to listen to.

Oh no. I don't get my rocks off to the British accents. I just think they do better at narrating than we Americans do.

Right, British television is just........interesting, especially the older stuff..................

I wish American children's television could have learned more from British kids' TV....

 

[Roger Redux]

A good first impression to British narration.

Carlin was the American, the Brit. was Ringo Starr (yes, the ex-Beatle Ringo Starr).

College Football TV landscape 2007 thru 2009:
Notre Dame: NBC
Rose Bowl: ABC
Other BCS Bowls (Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Peach, Cotton): Fox
Sun Bowl: CBS
Notre Dame/Navy when Navy is the home team: CBS
Lower tier bowls (ex. Holiday, Citrus, Gator, Liberty): Split between the Henson, Peacock and Disney networks (ESPN, ABC, XYZ, Fox, FX, NBC, USA)

Power Five Confereces: Big XII, ACC, Big Ten and Pac-10 on ABC and ESPN. SEC on CBS.
Group of Six (Mountain West, WAC, Big East, Sun Belt, MAC, Metro): Split between Fox, UPN and SBC.

FCS (ex. North Dakota State) and HBCU's (ex. Grambling, North Carolina A&T):
Regional sports networks
Raycom
WB Sports
ESPN 2
XYZ
Spike (Saban)
USA Network (Peacock)
Fox Sports National (Disney; FS1 IOTL)

Raycom's Metro Conference as was proposed in 1990 IOTL:
Boston College
East Carolina
Cincinnati
Florida State
Pittsburgh
Louisville
Rutgers
Memphis State
Syracuse
Miami
Temple
South Carolina
Virginia Tech
Southern Mississippi
West Virginia
Tulane

Most of these teams should still be part of TTL's Metro Conference going forward. However, I could replace one of the above schools with Notre Dame.

Starting in 2010, the BCS will be replaced by a 12 team playoff format. The TV rights to that are already up for grabs.

NRG Stadium (Houston)

The WAC and Mountain West can't coëxist; most of the latter's membership came from the former. Mind if I send you a PM?

Go right ahead. Thank you.

Yes. It just launched earlier in January 2008. Mostly consisting of CBBC imports.

IOTL the Mr. Men show launched in the US in February

I forgot. Sorry.

 

[Tacomaster]

Maybe IOTL it could launch a month earlier to line up with Cartoonito’s launch?

Of course.

 

[Tacomaster]

Late February.

The new Mr. Men had a soft launch before the rest of Cartoonito.

Cool!

Any other changes to Cartoon Network that we should know about?

In 2009, Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom will return to the lineup.

 

[Tacomaster]

Aside from Mr. Men and some other vague “CBBC shows”, what does the rest of the Cartoonito lineup look like?

My guess is that the HB "kids" shows, like Tom and Jerry Kids or A Pup Named Scooby-Doo take up a good portion of the new lineup.

Well, if Henson and Nickelodeon are willing to licence out Pup Named Scooby-Doo...

There's also Baby Looney Tunes...
