At 21:00, The Garfield Show will be replaced with Dreamworks Dragons and Chowder, moving from their morning slots, but the rest of the late-night schedule remains unchanged, so Garfield and LazyTown keep going.

The rest of schedule stays the same, with a few shows switching places.

Scooby Classics return as 12:00, 15:00 and 20:00.

New Episodes of Wabbit will air from the 11th.

New Episodes of George of the Jungle will run from the 18th.

Doraemon will be gone, despite returning last month during half-term.

Be Cool Scooby Doo is also gone. Likely to be on hiatus as only a mere quarter of the series has aired and repeated for months.

UPDATE: Starship (a BBC Schools programme) will run another one-off episode on the 25th, at 21:00, This is due to some dumb E/I law saying they have to meet a quota every month (only certain channels are affected). It does look cartoony though, with animated hosts Star the dog, Sky the dragonfly and Hutch the rabbit. Still don’t think Ofcom should be enforcing a E/I law, isn’t that what schools are for?

I find it unnessicarily weird that Owl and Co is now on CN Too instead of Boomerang

RegularCapital posted on 04 December 2015

I found more info about the Arrows era

The Arrow era was the fifth era of Cartoon Network in European territories (United Kingdom and Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Poland, CEE, RSEE, Nordic, Netherlands and Turkey). It began on May 24, 2007 (exactly one year before the CW4Kids debuted in the USA), replacing the City era. Two years later, this era was also debuted on April 14, 2009 for RSEE and Turkey feeds, with the different branding and bumpers. It ended on September 27, 2010 with the CHECK it look replacing it in the United Kingdom, and two months later, on the rest of the countries using it.

Oddly enough, the Arrows 1.0 idents (produced by Pesky, who made The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers) normally had nothing to do with the arrows theme and were essentially just short sketches that formed the logo, most of them involving slapstick humor. These included:

Dentist: A dentist notices a girl has broken teeth, fixes them with a drill, turning them normal (and looking like the CN logo)
Jack in the Box: 2 funny creatures pop out of a jack in the box, they get tangled and the boxes fall over, forming the logo
Bunnies: A black bunny and white bunny bash themselves with a mallet in a squash and stretch manner (squishing then reverting to normal instantly), This gets faster untill they turn into the logo, (with the iconic dizzy/birds flying over head gag thrown in for good measure)
Parachute: 2 skydiving daredevil’s parachute forms the logo (one of the daredevils fall to the ground, the other lands perfectly)
Transformers: 2 fighting mech robots turn into the logo
Moon: A man on the moon plants seeds, hoping for trees, but gets the logo instead
Cliff: 2 flying jets fly past a cliff with the logo carved into it
Balloons: 2 monkeys bounce on a inflater, behind then a baloon with the logo inflates and bursts, leaving them humiliated
Diving: A man dives, while juggling and having a cup of tea, Judges give him a score with the logo
Magic: A magician peforms the famous cutting trick, the boxes are the logo
Dynamite: A black creature proposes to a white creature, accidentally holding the logo instead of flowers, It explodes, forming the logo
Fly squatter: A fly tries to suck juice., but gets whacked with a fly swatter, the swatter forms the N, fly forms the C
There are more idents from Arrows 1.0 but it would be a pain to list

Arrows 2.0

From here the idents actually started involving arrows (only the first 5, the others are just more form the logo sketches, but involving red creatures)

Superheroes: A arrow flies past characters from Justice League, The Batman and Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes
Anime: Arrow flys past characters from Samurai Jack and Xiaolin Showdown
Adventure: Arrow flies past characters from Billy and Mandy, Chowder and Flapjack
Sports: Arrow flies past characters from both McCracken shows, also Ben 10 Alien Force
Cyber: Arrow flies past a cyber landscape
Multiply: A red creature and a black creature multiply untill they form the logo
De-evolution: A red creature de-evolves, eventually to a ameoba shaped like the logo
It's Magic: 2 red creatures peform shrinking magic, eventually curtains with the logo close
The Button: 2 red creatures press a button and get turned to the logo
Contest: One red creature's eyes turn into the logo, causing him to win a contest
Apparently CN Too is stuck with the Arrows look again (after switching from their own custom papercraft inspired look to a mishmash of Check It 2.0 and 3.0 for a few months in 2014, they took Arrows again in October, when the main CN adopted full Check It 3.0)

OFF: Remember that English version of the We Bare Bears theme that was on the international CN minisites for the show? Well, it was finally put to good use! About a month ago, I informed the management of the TelevisionTunes.com website (which has the largest collection of TV theme songs and music next to YouTube, of course) and they added the audio derived from the minisite as a “No-SFX” version of the theme!

The Christmas schedules for Cartoon Network are here for me, Let’s just say you will be dissapointed

JonTroe posted on 05 December 2015:

Hey @thetellyweb, do you know which idents CN Too is currently using? I remember the Arrows and Papercraft looks, but I haven’t caught it in a while. Are they still running the same ones, or have there been any updates?

RegularCapital posted on 05 December 2015:

Speaking about CN Too, I’ve been wondering about the primetime schedules for the holidays. With all the chaos around the scheduling, I’m a bit worried. Are there going to be any changes or marathons?

CartoonFanatic12 posted on 05 December 2015:

I swear, if they decide to run a Teen Titans Go! marathon, I’ll lose it. I just want some variety this holiday season! Plus, it feels like TTG is everywhere already. Why not showcase some classic holiday specials or underrated shows instead?

thetellyweb posted on 06 December 2015:

Alright folks, here’s the scoop. CN Too is, indeed, still stuck with the Arrows look, at least for now. It’s a nostalgic throwback, but I agree it’s time for a refresh.

As for the schedule for the main CN, brace yourselves: there’s going to be a Teen Titans Go! marathon throughout the holiday season during the daytime slots. However, the late-night lineup should remain unchanged, so fans of shows like “Robotboy” and “Chop Socky Chooks” can rest easy.

SamuraiPizzaCat posted on 06 December 2015:

Ugh. Why am I not surprised? TTG marathons are like the inevitable holiday fruitcake. At least there’s still some good stuff on late at night. Maybe I’ll just record those and watch them later when I need a break from all the TTG shenanigans.

Thanks for the update, @thetellyweb. Guess I’m planning my viewing around late-night hours now!

JonTroe posted on 07 December 2015:

Thanks for the update, @thetellyweb. I guess we’ll have to grin and bear the TTG marathon during the day. But I’ve got another question: With CN Too sticking to the Arrows look, do you know which version they’re saddled with? Is it the original Arrows 1.0 with all the quirky sketches, or have they transitioned to Arrows 2.0 with the arrow-themed idents? I’m curious which era of nostalgia we’re dealing with here!

thetellyweb posted on 07 December 2015:

Hey @JonTroe, great question! From what I’ve seen, CN Too seems to be using the Arrows 1.0 idents at the moment. You can definitely spot them with their classic quirky sketches and minimal use of actual arrows. It’s a throwback for sure, but I guess they’re sticking with what’s familiar. If anyone else has noticed differently, feel free to chime in!

Hopefully, they’ll consider updating to something new soon, but for now, we’re in for a nostalgic ride with these classics!

CartoonFanatic12 replied on 06 December 2015:

Thanks for confirming that, I just caught the “Bunnies” ident earlier, so it’s definitely the Arrows 1.0 ones they’re using. It seems like they’re sticking to the originals, although they might be including some from Arrows 2.0 that fit with the 1.0 style. It’s a nostalgic feel, but it would be nice to see some updates eventually. If anyone else notices anything different, let us know!

The only Arrows 2.0 idents I’ve noticed that are still being carried over to CN Too are the ones that blend seamlessly with the Arrows 1.0 style. Specifically, those would be:

“Multiply” - where the red and black creatures multiply until they form the CN logo.
“De-evolution” - featuring the red creature de-evolving until it’s an amoeba shaped like the logo.
These both have that quirky, creative vibe that fits well with the original Arrows 1.0 sketches. If anyone spots any others, feel free to add them to the list!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give a quick follow-up for all those who might be feeling overwhelmed by the Teen Titans Go! marathon on Cartoon Network. I get it, we all enjoy a bit of variety, especially during the holidays, so here’s some good news: CN Too is offering a bit of relief for fans of classic Cartoon Network shows.

Throughout the holiday season, CN Too will be airing a selection of classic Cartoon Network Christmas specials. It’s the perfect way to revisit those nostalgic holiday episodes that you might have grown up with or missed out on in previous years. From “The Powerpuff Girls” saving Christmas to “Ed, Edd n Eddy’s Jingle Jingle Jangle,” there’s a delightful lineup of seasonal fare planned to get you in the festive spirit.

So, if you’re not in the mood for the constant zaniness of TTG and are longing for a nostalgic throwback to Christmases past, hop on over to CN Too for some classic holiday cheer. Happy viewing, everyone, and I hope you all enjoy the holiday season with a dash of animation nostalgia!

JonTroe posted on 09 December 2015:

Thanks for the heads up, @thetellyweb! I’ll definitely be tuning into CN Too for those classic holiday specials. It’s nice to have an alternative to the all-day Teen Titans Go! marathon on the main channel.

Speaking of which, can anyone confirm if it’s really going to be wall-to-wall TTG from 6 AM to 10 PM on Cartoon Network during the holidays? I’m hoping there’s at least a bit of variety, maybe some classic specials or something mixed in as well. I’d love to get a full schedule to plan my viewing.

Also, on a lighter note, did anyone else catch that hilariously mismatched ident on CN Too? Right before “Battle B-Daman,” there was this totally comedic sketch from the Arrows 1.0 era. It felt a bit out of place, but maybe that’s what made it all the more entertaining! Anyone else notice something similar, or is it just me?

thetellyweb posted on 10 December 2015:

Hey @JonTroe and everyone following along, I’ve got some updates for you regarding the Cartoon Network holiday schedule and those interesting idents on CN Too!

First, about the main CN channel: Yes, it’s pretty much as we feared. The holiday schedule is indeed going to be dominated by Teen Titans Go! from 6 AM to 10 PM. It’s a TTG marathon-o-rama, with very little room for other shows during the daytime. So if TTG isn’t your cup of tea, I definitely recommend checking out CN Too for more variety, as they’ll be mixing in some classic Cartoon Network holiday specials.

Now, regarding that amusing ident mismatch on CN Too—you’re not imagining things! They did use a comedic Arrows 1.0 ident right before airing “Battle B-Daman.” The ident in question was the “Dentist” sketch, where a dentist fixes a girl’s broken teeth in a humorous way, turning them into the CN logo. It was definitely an unexpected choice before an action-packed show like “Battle B-Daman,” but I guess that’s part of the charm of the Arrows era idents—they’re quirky and nostalgic, no matter what they’re aired before.

As much as I’d like to claim this is a practical joke, this is the ACTUAL CARTOON NETWORK SCHEDULE FOR CHRISTMAS DAY TO NEW YEARS EVE.

H-how?! This is a marathon of EVERY EPISODE of Teen Titans Go! repeated 2.5 times in a row. Who asked for this? Who asked for “instead of a decent or just remotely tolerable Christmas schedule, maybe with some of those old specials we are running on our essential time-warp counterpart, let’s just run a show we have already marathoned for almost every other major holiday or premiere this year for EIGHT DAYS??”

Why are they doing this… THIS IS GETTING BEYOND A JOKE!!

I-I try to find silver linings in every terrible CN schedule. Like that one from August. But… I don’t… think I can find a silver lining in this. So, here’s my attempt at a silver lining for this… you don’t need to watch this. You could be watching the holiday specials that CN Too are showing.

Yeah, I know. The silver lining is basically “don’t watch CN this week.” But, yeah. It’s got to the point where that’s my suggestion.

Changes:

World of Quest replaces Angelo Rules on late nights early, was originally scheduled to rejoin on Jan 1st (but those days showed a normal schedule, so maybe they didn’t want to leak the TTG marathon, If so, then hiding the marathon for weeks was TOTALLY DEMENTED)

December 24th - December 31st Schedule:

Weekdays (Dec 24 - Dec 31):

6:00 AM - Teen Titans Go!
6:30 AM - Teen Titans Go!
7:00 AM - Teen Titans Go!
7:30 AM - Teen Titans Go!
8:00 AM - Teen Titans Go!
8:30 AM - Teen Titans Go!

10:00 AM - Teen Titans Go!
10:30 AM - Teen Titans Go!

Late Night (Dec 24 - Dec 31):

10:00 PM - Robotboy
11:00 PM - Chop Socky Chooks
12:00 AM - World of Quest
1:00 AM - Skatoony
2:00 AM - Chop Socky Chooks
3:00 AM - Robotboy
4:00 AM - Skatoony
4:30 AM - World of Quest
5:00 AM - The Amazing World of Gumball
So, as you can see, the daytime schedule is packed with Teen Titans Go! marathons. However, they are maintaining the late-night classics for fans of older shows.

I hope this helps everyone plan their holiday viewing! Remember, CN Too is offering some classic holiday specials if you’re looking for alternatives to TTG. Enjoy the holidays and happy watching!

RegularCapital posted on 10 December 2015:

Hey everyone, I know the Teen Titans Go! marathon is overwhelming, but let’s not forget about the other CN regions that might have something different. Specifically, I heard that CN CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) has some interesting Christmas specials lined up. Does anyone have the scoop on what CN CEE is planning for the holiday season? I’m curious if they’re taking a different approach compared to CN UK.

CartoonFanatic12 posted on 11 December 2015:

I don’t have the full details, but I heard CN CEE is bringing back some of the classic holiday episodes from various shows like “Courage the Cowardly Dog” and “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.” It seems they’re opting for a more traditional line-up, hopefully with a mix of newer and older content. I hope it offers a nice respite from the TTG marathon elsewhere.

JonTroe posted on 11 December 2015:

Good to know about CN CEE! I wish CN UK kept a similar balance between new and classic content. I miss those days when they celebrated the holidays with a variety of specials instead of just marathon-ing one show to death. If anyone gets a hold of the full CN CEE schedule, please share!

thetellyweb posted on 12 December 2015:

About the CN UK schedule, a little birdie told me that Mixels could be getting the boot by February once “Nixel Nixel Go Away” airs. It’s expected to be sent over to CN Too, which seems to be evolving into a channel dedicated to retro content, or as some say, “the channel that can’t decide what year it is.” It’s a bit of a bummer for Mixels fans, but at least there’s hope for reruns elsewhere.

SamuraiPizzaCat posted on 12 December 2015:

Not surprising about Mixels, honestly. CN UK seems to be in a constant state of flux with some of its programming choices. I just hope some of the other fan favorites don’t get sidelined or shuffled too quickly. I’d love to see more varied programming on CN, even if it’s on CN Too.

CartoonFanatic12 posted on 13 December 2015:

Wouldn’t it be great if they’d dedicate one of the regions to just running a mix of new and old content without going too heavy on marathons? A nice overall balance. I think it would cater to a wider range of audiences who enjoy both the classics and the latest shows.

RegularCapital posted on 13 December 2015:

That’s actually an excellent idea, @CartoonFanatic12! They’ve got enough content from the golden era of animation and the newer stuff to make a mix that everyone would enjoy. Hopefully, someone over at CN sees this and considers making those adjustments to cater to more of their audience.

JonTroe posted on 14 December 2015:

In the meantime, it looks like CN Too will continue to be the place for those looking for a trip down memory lane. I wouldn’t mind if they even added more classics that haven’t seen daylight in years. Maybe even throw some holiday specials into the mix if they haven’t already!

thetellyweb posted on 14 December 2015:

Totally agree, guys. Here’s to hoping for a more balanced schedule in future seasons. Until then, I’ll keep you all posted if I hear anything more about changes coming to CN or CN Too. Fingers crossed for a more varied lineup in 2016!

SamuraiPizzaCat posted on 15 December 2015:

Thanks @thetellyweb and everyone else for keeping us informed. CN UK sure loves its marathons, but at least now we know where to look for some variety, even during the holidays. Until they broaden their regular programming, let’s enjoy what we can on CN Too.

CartoonFanatic12 posted on 15 December 2015:

If anyone happens to record or catch any of those classics being aired over on CN Too, let the community know! I’d love to relive some of those and discuss them with everyone here, especially the Christmas episodes. Nostalgia makes the holidays all the more special!

RegularCapital posted on 16 December 2015:

Will do, @CartoonFanatic12! I’ll keep an eye on both CN UK and CN Too, especially during the holiday season. Who knows, maybe they’ll even surprise us with a few underrated gems in the lineup. Here’s to hoping!

SamuraiPizzaCat posted on 16 December 2015:

Yes, please do keep us in the loop, @RegularCapital. I’d love the chance to catch some lesser-seen holiday specials. In the meantime, happy holidays, everyone!

CartoonFanatic12 posted on 16 December 2015:

Important update about CEE in January:

Say goodbye to Spider Riders and Fantastic Four World’s Greatest Heroes!

Also, there is a third season of Young Justice coming soon! Let’s hope it will air on CN in Europe.

I’m not happy about Spider Riders and Fantastic Four leaving. It makes the night block even more repetitive and annoying. Robotboy, Eon Kid, Adrenalini, Monster Allergy, Xiaolin Chronicles and Chop Socky Chooks are the only cartoons now that give the block some variety.

well at least you get robotboy which is a decent cartoon

I can’t believe they’ve somehow found a way to make the night schedule even worse.

It’s only a matter of time before Chop Socky Chooks gets replaced by Ninjago or something.
Gumball and Robotboy S3/4 will never leave : /

Hey everyone, I have some more updates regarding the Cartoon Network lineup, and trust me, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster.

First off, sad news about “Angelo Rules.” It looks like the show will be departing from the lineup starting December 24th, which, not so coincidentally, is the same day the big Teen Titans Go! Christmas marathon kicks off. “World of Quest” is set to replace it in the nighttime block, but I know many Angelo fans will be disappointed by this change.

Now, let’s talk about Boomerang. They’re apparently saddled with some law every month that requires them to meet an educational/informational (E/I) quota. Their choice this month visually resembles the normal lineup, so it’s not as disruptive as it could be, but it definitely threw some viewers for a loop.

As for CN Too, it’s in a bizarre branding state right now. They’ve got this mishmash of old and newer idents from the Arrows era, and it seems like they can’t decide what year it is. It’s like a trip down memory lane that’s gone a bit askew, mixing nostalgia with some modern twists.

However, the real kicker is Cartoon Network’s apparent obsession with Teen Titans Go! It’s like they’ve gone mad with TTG fever. I mean, dedicating an entire week—no, EIGHT DAYS—to just reruns of TTG is kind of mind-boggling. And honestly, this is probably (hopefully) just a sick joke they’re pulling on us. If it is, they’re milking it for all it’s worth because there’s no sign they’re backing down from this relentless marathon.

So here’s my advice: Check out CN Too or even Boomerang for something different, especially during this TTG blitz. And don’t lose hope; we’re all in this together, trying to find that silver lining among the constant TTG reruns. If nothing else, at least we have each other to commiserate with over the state of CN’s holiday offerings.

Hang in there, folks!

Hey everyone, thanks for sticking with me as I navigate through this whirlwind of scheduling madness on Cartoon Network and Boomerang. I wanted to address the E/I quota situation that’s currently affecting Boomerang.

It turns out the show being used to fill this educational/informational requirement is something that the network clearly isn’t thrilled about airing. They’ve chosen a program called “Starship” to meet the E/I law, and what’s interesting is that it doesn’t even have a “Next” bumper, which tells you it’s not exactly a staple they want viewers to get too cozy with. It’s more like they’re checking a box than giving it any fanfare.

I get that rules are rules, and these quotas are there for a reason, but it’s just a bit jarring given the rest of the animated lineup. If you’re tuning into Boomerang expecting the usual fare and suddenly find yourself watching “Starship” with animated hosts Star the dog, Sky the dragonfly, and Hutch the rabbit, now you know why. It’s an odd fit, especially among all the classic and modern toons we love.

I like how they used a animated schools show so it sort of blends in with the rest of the lineup, but still, wouldn’t Skatoony be a better choice,

As always, I’ll keep you updated if I hear of any more adjustments or if this quota situation changes. In the meantime, if nothing else, this E/I programming might be a chance to stretch, grab a snack, and prepare for the next round of cartoon marathons—or just switch over to CN Too for some nostalgia hits. Stay strong, everyone! Write a blog post about the marathon (with the same “As much as I’d like to claim this is a practical joke” opening line), complain about it, initally the same as the forum post, stopping after the silver living bit, before saying Turner have been trying odd strategies to push us to a certain channel, this being one of them
Title: A Closer Look at Cartoon Network’s TTG Marathon: A Holiday Marathon or a Practical Joke?

As much as I’d like to claim this is a practical joke, this appears to be the actual Cartoon Network schedule for Christmas Day to New Year’s Eve. For an entire week, the network is dedicating its daytime programming almost exclusively to Teen Titans Go!—repeating every episode 2.5 times in a row. It’s a marathon of epic proportions, yet one that seemingly few have asked for. Who thought, “Instead of a decent or remotely tolerable Christmas schedule—maybe featuring some classic holiday specials—let’s rehash a show we’ve already marathoned during every major holiday this year for eight days”? This decision is perplexing and has left many viewers scratching their heads.

To be clear, this isn’t the first time Turner Broadcasting has employed unusual strategies to boost viewership on certain channels or shows. Over the years, we’ve seen them make choices that appear to nudge audiences toward specific content, whether through scheduling oddities or channel shifts.

However, an eight-day Teen Titans Go! extravaganza feels like an extreme measure. It’s hard not to speculate whether there are underlying motives at play or if this is simply an experiment in audience retention. One possible silver lining could be that this marathon is a push to highlight CN Too—Cartoon Network’s secondary channel.

CN Too has managed to maintain a fascinating lineup, offering a blend of nostalgia with classic holiday specials and older Cartoon Network shows. During a time when viewers may be seeking some yuletide variety, CN Too shines with its alternative programming that caters to those looking for a break from the constant TTG action.

While it’s easy to feel frustrated by this scheduling decision, perhaps this is an opportunity for fans to explore what CN Too has to offer. Maybe Turner is subtly urging audiences to diversify their viewing habits, sending them on a nostalgic journey with CN Too’s array of classic specials and beloved series.

In any event, fans of Teen Titans Go! are likely delighted, but for everyone else, there’s CN Too—and maybe even Boomerang—to provide a bit of relief during this festive season. Until more balanced scheduling returns (hopefully in 2016), my suggestion echoes what many of us are considering: take a break from the main CN lineup and dive into CN Too for some classic holiday cheer and a welcome respite from Titan overload.

Let’s hope Turner Broadcasting takes these viewer reactions to heart and provides a more diverse lineup in future holiday seasons. Until then, here’s to finding our own personal silver linings amidst the marathon madness. Stay strong, cartoon fans!
Write a follow up back on the thread, You won’t believe where OK KO is premiering first in the UK (already premiered on CN in November in the States), Further proving their theory
RegularCapital posted on December 19, 2015:

You won’t believe where OK K.O.! is having its UK premiere—on CN Too! That’s right, while most would expect a major animated series to debut on the main Cartoon Network channel, Turner has decided to launch it on their secondary channel first. This unexpected decision only adds fuel to the theory that Turner is pushing audiences toward CN Too.

While it might seem unconventional, this move could be part of a strategy to boost viewership on CN Too by premiering a highly-anticipated show like OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes. It’s a bold move and suggests that Turner is serious about revitalizing the channel and possibly shifting more attention from CN’s main programming.

Given CN Too’s current lineup, which includes a mix of nostalgia and newer shows, the addition of OK K.O.! could attract a broader audience that’s looking for diverse viewing options. This is especially timely during the TTG marathon on the main channel, which feels like a broadcast domination of sorts.

So, for those excited about OK K.O.! and looking for alternatives to the Teen Titans Go! overload, CN Too seems to be the place to be. At the very least, this reinforces the notion that Turner is employing strategic moves to adjust viewing patterns, shifting attention where it’s needed most.

I’m curious to see how this will influence CN Too’s overall viewership and if Turner will continue using their secondary channels as the starting ground for major premieres. It’ll be interesting to watch how this plays out and whether it signifies a broader approach for future releases.

What do you all think about this development? Is Turner making a smart move by premiering OK K.O.! on CN Too, or is this just another puzzling decision in their current strategy? Share your thoughts!

Hey @RegularCapital, that’s definitely a surprising move with OK K.O.! premiering on CN Too. It seems like they’re really trying to draw more viewers to the secondary channel. But in case anyone's wondering what's coming to the main CN channel in the UK this January, there are some new episodes and premieres lined up:

New Episodes of Steven Universe - Starting January 14th, so fans can finally catch up on the latest adventures of the Crystal Gems!
Teen Titans Go! - New episodes are dropping on January 28th, so if you're a TTG fan, there's still something to look forward to on the main channel beyond the marathon.
Justice League Action - This will premiere on January 28th at 8:35 PM, with new episodes airing every Saturday and Sunday. It’s bound to add some action-packed moments to your weekends!
Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins - Set to premiere on January 29th at 9:30 AM, offering a fresh mystery for Scooby and the gang.
It's good to see some variety coming back to the lineup after the holiday marathons. Hopefully, these additions provide a nice balance between the newer content and any repeat programming. What do you all think about the upcoming schedule changes? Looking forward to any of these premieres?

Title: February 2016 Brings Exciting Changes to Cartoon Network UK

As we move into February 2016, Cartoon Network UK is gearing up for some notable changes in its programming lineup. With a mix of returning classics and shifts in series availability, this month promises to offer a fresh viewing experience for fans. Here’s a look at what’s in store.

Farewell to Lamput, Mixels, and Yo-Kai Watch

First up, we have some departures that might disappoint a few fans. Lamput, Mixels, and Yo-Kai Watch are leaving the Cartoon Network roster this month. Each of these shows brought something unique to the table—Lamput with its quirky, minimalistic comedy, Mixels with its inventive and imaginative escapades, and Yo-Kai Watch with its adventurous spirit and lovable characters. While they’ll certainly be missed, their exits create space for new and returning favorites.

Welcome Back, OG Ben 10!

In a nostalgic turn of events, the original Ben 10 series is making its return to Cartoon Network's main channel. This beloved classic, which follows young Ben Tennyson's adventures and his discovery of the Omnitrix, is sure to remind many of us why we fell in love with the series in the first place. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, it's a great time to dive into Ben’s world-saving escapades.

Steven Universe Marathon and Special Events

February ushers in an exciting marathon of Steven Universe. This fan-favorite series, known for its heartfelt storytelling and vibrant characters, will take center stage on February 14th for a special Valentine's Day marathon. This event will focus on the Gems' relationships and adventures, offering a perfect opportunity to relive or delve into some of the show’s most touching moments.

Nostalgic Returns: Angelo Rules, Xiaolin Chronicles, and The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers

In the late-night and overnight slots, viewers will notice the return of several engaging series. Angelo Rules, with its creative problem-solving antics, is back to entertain. Meanwhile, Xiaolin Chronicles joins the lineup with its action-packed tales of Xiaolin monks battling evil forces. The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers also make a return, bringing their daredevil antics and comedic charm back to UK television screens.

A Balanced Mix of Old and New

This blend of programming touches on the classic Cartoon Network spirit while embracing new trends. By mixing in nostalgic series with current hits, Cartoon Network UK offers something for everyone, ensuring a broader appeal across different age groups and interests.

Whether you're tuning in to reminisce with Ben 10 or enjoying the latest Steven Universe marathon, February 2016 is packed with engaging content that caters to diverse tastes.

CartoonFanatic12 posted on January 20, 2016:

Hey everyone! I’ve been hearing some rumblings around the web that Cartoon Network UK might be gearing up for a brand-new look—specifically, an upgrade to Check It 4.0. For those who might not be familiar, this is supposed to be the next iteration of Cartoon Network’s distinctive branding—a fresh visual identity with new graphics, bumpers, and possibly even an updated logo.

I’m curious if anyone else has heard similar rumors or has any insider info on this potential rebranding. If it’s true, it could mean some exciting changes that further enhance the viewing experience with contemporary designs and perhaps new network promos that align with their current and upcoming shows.

Has anyone spotted any teasers or noticed anything different during ad breaks? Let me know what you’ve heard or seen—I’m eager to find out more about what Cartoon Network has in store for us this year!

Hey @CartoonFanatic12 and everyone interested in the potential new Cartoon Network UK look! I did some digging, and here's what I've gathered about the rumored Check It 4.0 rebranding.

From what I’ve heard, Cartoon Network UK is indeed planning to roll out the Check It 4.0 update in the coming months. This new look is expected to feature vibrant colors, slick new animations, and a fresh set of bumpers that resonate with the modern audience. The focus seems to be on making the channel feel more cohesive and contemporary, aligning with the dynamic and diverse content it airs.

However, as is often the case, CN Too seems to be left out of these exciting updates. It appears they will continue with their current Arrows branding for the time being. While it's a nostalgic throwback that many of us appreciate, it would be nice to see CN Too get some love in terms of a rebrand or refresh as well. Unfortunately, it looks like they'll remain in this quirky, time-warp branding for now, while the main channel moves forward.

As always, I’ll keep my ears to the ground for any more updates or official announcements. If anyone notices any further changes or hears more about the branding switch, keep us posted! It’s always exciting to see how the network evolves its presentation to match the fantastic shows we love.
