Forum Thread: Do the Current Boing UK Idents Really Fit the Channel?

User1:
Hey everyone! Just noticed the current Boing UK idents — you know, the ones with live action kids cycling, playing in a band, drawing, clothes shopping, and writing on a forum? I’m wondering if these really fit the vibe of the channel. Boing’s mainly animated shows and some live action like The Thundermans, but these idents feel very… everyday life, kinda mellow and grounded. What do you all think?

User2:
Good point! Boing’s schedule is packed with fun, energetic cartoons like Pokemon, The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers, and Adventure Time — lots of high-energy, bright animation. These idents with kids doing normal day-to-day stuff seem a bit out of sync. I’d expect more colorful, zany animations or something quirky that matches the vibe of the shows.

User3:
Yeah, I agree. The idents might be aiming for a relatable, “real kid” feel, but it feels like they belong more on a channel targeted at older kids or teens, or even a general kids’ lifestyle channel rather than an animation-heavy one. Especially the clothes shopping and writing on a forum — doesn’t scream “Boing” to me.

User4:
Hmm, maybe the idea was to connect with the real lives of kids, blending live action with the animated content? But I do see how it could feel out of place. Boing feels like it should be more playful and imaginative rather than everyday slice-of-life.

User5:
I love the cycling one, though! It’s energetic and outdoorsy — maybe if all the idents captured that kind of fun, movement, and imagination, it would fit better. Clothes shopping feels totally wrong, honestly. Like, who really wants to watch that on a kids' cartoon channel?

User6:
Would be cool if Boing updated the idents to feature kids interacting with their favorite shows in some way — like kids watching The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers or playing with Pokémon toys. That could bridge the gap between the live action and animation worlds in a more channel-specific way.

User1:
Great ideas all around! Seems like the consensus is these idents don’t quite fit the energetic, fun, and animated spirit of Boing’s programming. Hopefully Boing considers refreshing them to better reflect what it offers. Anyone know if there’s any word on new idents coming soon?

What do you think? Would you want Boing to switch to more animated or themed idents instead?

Write a reply saying the only live action are Thundermans, Doctor Who and Blue Water High

User7:
Just to add — actually, the only live action shows on Boing UK right now are The Thundermans, Doctor Who, and Blue Water High. Everything else is animated. So it feels even stranger that the idents focus on regular everyday live-action kids activities rather than tying into those few live-action shows or the mostly animated lineup. Maybe the idents should either lean fully into animation or feature scenes that connect more directly with what’s actually on the channel!

Yomiuri Telecasting Company: Background to the launch
In 1953 , prior to its launch in Tokyo, Nippon Television Network Corporation (hereafter referred to as "NTV") submitted an application for a broadcasting license in Osaka to the Radio Regulatory Commission . However, at the time, there were only two radio waves allocated to the Osaka area, and licenses were given to two stations, NHK Osaka Broadcasting Station and Osaka Television Broadcasting (OTV, now Asahi Television Broadcasting Corporation ), and the license for "NTV Osaka Broadcasting Station" was rejected.

The reason for the rejection was that "Nippon Television represents the Tokyo area, and broadcasting in Osaka would be 'crossing borders.'" [ note 2 ] Matsutaro Shoriki , head of the Yomiuri Shimbun and Nippon Television , applied to the Radio Regulatory Commission to establish regional broadcasting stations in Sapporo , Nagoya , and Fukuoka in addition to Osaka, but this was also rejected for the same reason . [ note 3 ]

At that time, the Yomiuri Shimbun had expanded into Osaka, and was competing fiercely with the Asahi Shimbun , the Mainichi Shimbun , and others in sales. Since Osaka Television Broadcasting was a television station established by the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and New Japan Broadcasting (now the Mainichi Broadcasting System), Tsutomu Mitsuo , the president of the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun (now the Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka Headquarters) at the time , was convinced that "in order to increase circulation against the two newspapers, we need to have our own affiliated television station," and the Yomiuri Shimbun also decided to create a television station with investment from the Kansai business community, centered around the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun. Tsutomu was the representative promoter and gathered promoters from the business community.

The name of the broadcasting station was " Shin -Osaka Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. " (abbreviated as NOTV = New Osaka Television . It was called " No-Tele "), and the founding general meeting was held in February 1957. The company building was constructed by borrowing most of the grounds of the Tenman Betsuin temple of the Otani-ha Shinshu sect in Iwai-cho , Kita-ku, Osaka (now Higashi-Tenma ) .

In October 1956, they submitted an application for a broadcasting license to the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. In October 1957, a provisional license was issued to Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting as a quasi-educational station (Channel 10, JOIX-TV). The company held its founding general meeting on February 12, 1958, and on August 1 of the same year, the company changed its name from "Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting" to "Yomiuri Telecasting Co., Ltd." (abbreviated as YTV, nicknamed Yomiuri Television). On the 28th of the same month , it opened as the second commercial television station in the Kinki region, completely transferring all of the Nippon Television programs that had been networked with OTV.

The opening of Yomiuri Television resolved the dissatisfaction of sponsors of Nippon Television Network Corporation's programs, which had not been broadcast in the Kinki region due to OTV's cross-network policy. [ Note 4 ] This also contributed greatly to the increase in circulation of the Yomiuri Shimbun in western Japan .

Among the commercial television stations headquartered in Osaka (Osaka-based television stations), it is the only one that does not have capital from a Kansai private railway , and its capital is composed of Yomiuri Shimbun Group and Nomura Securities affiliates . [ Note 5 ]

Write a conversation April 5 2025, I just saw Yanpochi on the new Boing UK website, Might or might not mean rebrand (they are still using the current pres on screen)

User:
Hey, I just saw Yanpochi on the new Boing UK website today (April 5, 2025). Do you think this means Boing might be gearing up for a rebrand soon? They’re still using the current on-screen presentation though, so it’s a bit confusing.

Friend1:
Oh cool, I hadn’t noticed that yet! Yanpochi is a pretty fun mascot to bring in. Maybe Boing is testing the waters? Could mean a rebrand is coming, or maybe just a seasonal promo?

Friend2:
Yeah, it could be either. Sometimes channels tease new branding by putting mascots on their website before changing the on-screen idents or graphics. Since the current presentation is still up, I’d guess it’s not immediate but maybe in the pipeline.

User:
Makes sense. Hopefully if they do a rebrand, they update those idents too. The current ones feel kinda dull compared to the energy of their shows.

Friend1:
Definitely! Boing’s schedule is so bright and animated; the idents should match that vibe. Yanpochi as a mascot could be a good way to tie in something fresh and fun!

Friend2:
Agreed. Let’s keep an eye on it — maybe by summer we’ll see some real changes. Fingers crossed for colorful, zany new idents that fit the channel's spirit better!

Write a reply saying Yanpochi is actually 2 characters

User7:
Just to add—Yanpochi is actually two characters, not just one! It’s a duo with TV Yan (the blue TV) and Telepochi (the dog-like sidekick). So if Boing is featuring them, it’s cool because they have a fun dynamic together that could bring some lively energy to the channel’s branding. Hopefully they showcase both in whatever new look they’re planning!

Write a conversation saying boing.co.uk/yanpochivillage is already up and running, And we get a answer, Campaign or full on rebrand

User:
Hey, did you guys know that boing.co.uk/yanpochivillage is already live? I just checked it out today. Pretty neat area with TV Yan and Telepochi stuff. What do you think — is this just a campaign tease, or are we looking at a full-on Boing rebrand?

Friend1:
Wow, no way! I hadn’t seen that yet. If the whole microsite’s up, that feels more serious than a quick promo. Could be a big campaign leading up to a rebrand though, testing the waters with the audience first.

Friend2:
Yeah, I agree. Usually channels launch these kinds of interactive sites to gauge interest before doing a full rebrand. But with the mascot-focused content, it might be a sign they want to make Yanpochi central to their identity moving forward.

User:
Makes sense! I’m hoping it’s more than just a campaign — Boing could definitely use a fresh, mascot-led look. The current idents and on-screen look feel out of place for their programming.

Friend1:
Totally. Plus the site looks packed with engaging stuff, which means they’re investing some serious effort. My bet is a full rebrand is coming, probably phased in over the next few months.

Friend2:
Let’s keep an eye on the channel and the website. If the on-screen graphics start incorporating Yanpochi soon, that’ll probably seal the deal for a full rebrand. Either way, excited to see what’s next!

Write a follow up with thr answer

User:
Just got some info — it looks like the Yanpochi Village site and mascot push are part of a major upcoming rebrand for Boing UK! So it’s not just a campaign teaser after all. They’re planning to gradually roll out new idents, on-screen graphics, and branding featuring Yan and Telepochi starting later this spring. Finally some fresh energy to match their lineup!

Write a reply saying the rebrand hits on April 26, at this time

User7:
Thanks for the update! From what I've heard, the full Boing UK rebrand featuring Yan and Telepochi is set to officially launch on April 26, 2025. So we’re just a few weeks away from seeing those fresh idents and new on-screen graphics live on air. Can’t wait to see how they revamp the channel’s look to better match that lively lineup!

Write a reply saying the time it takes effect

User8:
Yeah, the rebrand is scheduled to take effect exactly at 6:00 AM on April 26, 2025. That’s when the new idents, on-screen graphics, and branding with Yan and Telepochi will officially start airing across the channel. Perfect timing to kick off the morning shows with the fresh new look!

Write a reply saying the first show to use the new look

User9:
I heard the very first show to feature the new Boing look will be Doctor Who at midnight on April 26! It makes sense since it’s one of their flagship shows and a great way to showcase the updated branding right from the start of the day. Excited to see how Yan and Telepochi tie into the idents during the episode breaks!

Write a reply saying what episode airs that night for Who

User10:
Nice! For that night’s Doctor Who slot at midnight on April 26, they’ll be airing the episode “The Edge of Time” (Series 13, Episode 5). It’s a pretty intense one, so it’ll be cool to see the fresh new Boing branding alongside such a strong episode to kick off the rebrand!

Write a conversation where a user says wasn't it supposed to launch at midnight, Will they switch back to the old look for Adrenalini till Skatoony or have the plans changed and it happens at midnight now, especially considering DW is resetting from Eccleston (in fact, ALL the overnight shows restart from their first episodes)
