[Forum Topic: Upcoming Changes to Cartoon Network - New Look on Nov 18?]

User1234:
Hey everyone! With all the buzz about Toonami rebranding to The Hub, I was wondering if anyone knows whether Cartoon Network's new look is also launching on November 18th? I've seen some ads but couldn't catch the details.

CartoonFanatic:
Good question, User1234! I heard some rumors about a new look, but nothing confirmed about November 18th specifically for Cartoon Network. I think they might be staggering the rollouts for their channels.

ToonWatcher88:
From what I gathered, Cartoon Network is eventually getting a refresh, but I don't think it's on the 18th. The focus seems to be on The Hub's launch and CN Too's 24/7 rollout for now. Hopefully, more news about CN's redesign will drop soon!

TVInsider22:
I agree with ToonWatcher88. The Hub is getting all the spotlight right now, which makes sense since it's a rebrand. I bet CN's new look might be saved for a later date to keep the excitement going.

PixelArtist:
If you think about it, releasing everything at once wouldn't be the best strategy. Spreading out these updates could keep viewers engaged over a longer period. Has anyone checked the Cartoon Network UK social media pages? They might have teased something!

ChannelScout:
I looked at their recent posts and didn't find anything specific about a November 18th change for Cartoon Network. They did mention "exciting things ahead," but that might just be about the other channels. Keeping an eye on it, though!

User1234:
Thanks for the insights, everyone! I'll keep checking the official channels and let you know if I spot anything confirmed. Fingers crossed that we get the new look soon—can't wait to see what they have in store!

CartoonFanatic:
Sounds good! Do update us, User1234, and everyone else, keep sharing any little hints or leaks you find. It's always fun to piece these things together as a community!

ToonGeek101:
I'm just excited for all the changes coming to Turner channels! Even if CN's look isn't on the 18th, I'm sure it's going to be amazing when it finally happens. Meanwhile, let’s enjoy the new shows coming to The Hub!

[Forum Topic: Any Changes to Cartoon Network UK's Schedule Coming on Nov 18?]

TVJunkie92:
Hey everyone! With all the updates happening with Turner channels, I'm curious if anyone knows if there are any changes coming to Cartoon Network UK's schedule on November 18th? The current lineup has a lot of classic shows. Wondering if they'll shake things up!

RetroToonzFan:
I've been wondering the same thing, TVJunkie92. I love the current lineup, especially the classics like Ed, Edd n Eddy and The Powerpuff Girls. I hope they don't remove those, but it would be exciting to see some new additions!

GuideGuru:
As far as I know, the main focus seems to be on The Hub's launch and CN Too going 24/7. I haven't seen any official announcements about major schedule changes on Cartoon Network UK, but that could change anytime!

AnimatedEnthusiast:
Yeah, they might not have said anything yet to keep it a surprise. I imagine if there are changes, they'd want to keep some mix of old and new to satisfy everyone. If anyone hears anything, post it here!

ScoobyFan123:
I just hope they keep What's New Scooby-Doo? on the lineup. I have it marked on my calendar daily! The classics are great, but if they added more variety or even a few new shows, that'd be amazing.

ChannelSurfer84:
Totally agree with ScoobyFan123. Adding a few newer shows or swapping time slots could freshen things up. I'm keeping an eye on their website for any schedule updates. Fingers crossed for something exciting!

CartoonNetworker:
Given all the buzz around Turner changes, it'd be strange if CN UK didn't do something to celebrate the November 18th date. Even a subtle refresh or a surprise marathon would be cool. Who else here misses the random marathons?

ClassicCartoonLover:
Those marathons were the best! I remember getting hooked on shows I never tried before when they did that. If they're planning anything like that again, I hope they announce it soon. I'd love a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends marathon!

TVJunkie92:
Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'm ready for whatever they throw at us—whether it's classic marathons or new show premieres. If anyone hears any news, let's keep each other updated!

RetroToonzFan:
Absolutely! I'll definitely share if I come across any news. Fingers crossed for an exciting update. It's an exciting time to be a fan, that's for sure!

[Forum Topic: Cartoon Network UK's New Idents Starting Nov 18!]

ToonLover99:
Hey everyone! Just attended an industry preview event, and I got some exciting news. Starting on November 18th, Cartoon Network UK will introduce a series of quirky new idents! Each features a unique sketch that cleverly forms the CN logo. Here are some of the ones I remember:

Dentist: A dentist notices a girl with broken teeth and fixes them with a drill, turning them normal—and they end up looking like the CN logo!
Jack in the Box: Two funny creatures pop out of a jack-in-the-box, get tangled, and the boxes fall over, forming the logo.
Bunnies: A black bunny and a white bunny bash each other with a mallet in a squash-and-stretch manner until they turn into the logo. They even throw in the classic dizzy birds flying overhead!
Parachute: Two daredevils skydiving—one's parachute perfectly forms the logo while the other, well, doesn't stick the landing.
Transformers: Two mech robots are fighting and then morph into the CN logo.
Moon: A man on the moon plants seeds, hoping for trees but ends up with the logo instead. Quite a surprise!
Cliff: Two jets fly past a cliff with the logo carved into it. It's an impressive sight!
Balloons: Two monkeys bouncing on inflaters with a balloon behind them. The balloon inflates into the logo before bursting, leaving the monkeys looking rather embarrassed.
Diving: A diver juggles and has tea mid-air—judges hold up scorecards, but they're all the CN logo!
Magic: A magician’s classic cutting trick, but the boxes end up being the logo instead. Magical!
Dynamite: A creature proposes with a bouquet that accidentally turns out to be the logo shaped like flowers—it hilariously explodes to reveal the logo.
Fly Swatter: A fly tries to sip juice but gets hit with a logo-shaped fly swatter—the fly forms the "C" and the swatter makes the "N."
High Noon: Two cowboys face off, but instead of bullets, their guns shoot out logos. A fun twist!
Frankenstein: A Frankenstein-like creature assembles, and it turns out to be the logo!
I think these will add a fun and creative touch to the channel, bringing a fresh vibe that matches Cartoon Network's quirky spirit.

AnimFanatic:
Wow, ToonLover99, that sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing. I love how creative they’re getting with the idents—totally fits the Cartoon Network style. Can't wait to see these for myself!

RetroWatcher:
These sound super intriguing! The idea of blending humor and animation to form the logo is a great move. Especially excited for the bunny ident; sounds like classic cartoon slapstick!

JetSet:
Love the whimsical approach! The parachute and moon ones sound especially fun. This kind of originality is why I love Cartoon Network. November 18th can't come soon enough!

CartoonNetworkBuff:
Thanks for the sneak peek, ToonLover99. Each ident sounds like a little story in itself. It makes waiting for ad breaks much more entertaining. Who else is setting reminders for Nov 18?

BunnyHop12:
I am! I’ve always loved clever idents—makes the viewing experience more delightful. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s reactions once they start airing!

ToonLover99:
Glad you're as excited as I am! These snippets are sure to bring extra fun to the channel. I'll be tuning in for sure to catch them all. Enjoy the new idents, everyone!

Write a conversation where the rebrand is being treated as "construction", since late October they have been running idents set on a construction site, And there is a promo saying throughout the works they are open as usual, Also 4 shows are "closing" on the 18th


[Forum Topic: Cartoon Network UK's "Construction" Rebrand – Shows Closing and New Beginnings!]

CartoonBuilder:
Hey everyone! Have you noticed all the construction-themed idents on Cartoon Network UK lately? It’s like they’re building up to something big for the November 18th rebrand. I’ve been loving the fun twist!

ConstructionFanatic:
Yes! The idents are so creative. I saw one with cranes lifting parts of the CN logo into place. It's like they're hinting at the channel’s big makeover. I also caught a promo mentioning they’re "open as usual" throughout the changes.

ToonRenovator:
Exactly! I heard some shows are “closing” on the 18th as part of this rebrand. It's like they're renovating the lineup. Do you know which shows are bowing out?

CartoonBuilder:
Yeah, I heard four shows are wrapping up on the 18th. Here's what I found out:

Da Boom Crew
Ned's Newt
Atomic Betty
Viewtiful Joe
It's kind of like a grand "farewell tour" for these shows. Sad to see them go, but I’m excited to see what the “construction” brings!
RetroArch:
I’ll miss some of these shows, especially Atomic Betty. But I love that Cartoon Network is treating this rebrand like a construction project. The idea of building something new from the ground up is kind of thrilling!

SkateKid123:
Agreed, RetroArch! It's such a unique way to engage viewers. The "under construction" theme adds a playful edge to the process. I’m really curious about what’s replacing the closing shows.

LineupLover:
A rebrand always brings a mix of nostalgia and anticipation. Let’s hope the new lineup still respects the legacy of the classics while introducing exciting new content.

BuilderBuzz:
If they’re wrapping up those shows on the 18th, I bet there’s a solid lineup planned to fill those slots. I hope Skatoony gets a prime spot—love that show’s energy and format!

ToonRenovator:
Here's to hoping for a smooth “construction” phase and a fantastic lineup reveal! It's a fun time to be a Cartoon Network fan, with all these creative changes. Let’s keep sharing updates as they happen!

CartoonBuilder:
Absolutely! I'm keeping my eyes glued to the channel for more hints. Let’s keep the conversation going and share our thoughts on the new content once it's aired. Cheers, everyone!

ToonLoverForever:
Hey guys! Amid all the construction-themed updates and the rebrand coming up, I found out which shows will be staying put and will remain open "as normal at all times, even post work." Here are 13 shows that aren’t going anywhere:

Robotboy
Camp Lazlo
Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
The Life and Times of Juniper Lee

It's comforting to know that these favorites will still be around! They’ve been such a big part of the lineup, and it'll be nice to have them as staples through all the changes. If you’ve got any thoughts or favorites among these, feel free to share!

ClassicToonsRock:
Thanks for the list, ToonLoverForever! I'm relieved to see Foster's and Ed, Edd n Eddy sticking around. They’re iconic! It's great to know we'll have these beloved shows to enjoy during all the upcoming changes.

90sKidThrowback:
Yes! The Powerpuff Girls and Billy and Mandy are safe. They're such evergreen shows for me. I'm pumped for the rebrand, but happy to see these classics will still be in the mix.

NewGenToon:
With these shows staying, it feels like a balanced approach—keeping what we love while building new attractions. I can't wait to see how it all fits together post-rebrand.

ConstructionFanatic:
Exactly! Knowing these shows will be “open” even post-construction keeps the nostalgia alive while we embrace the fresh updates. Here’s to an exciting new chapter for Cartoon Network UK!
