Any Boomerang schedule changes in June?
Funny, I was 16 years old and entered 11th grade at high school on August 10, 2004.Per the quoted article:
And here's the reaction/talkback to the article:
Cross-posting: Boomerang's days numbered?
As posted on the CN forum: Cartoon Network will launch a weekday morning bloc of preschooler-oriented shows next spring, today's print edition of The Wall Street Journal reports, with Warner Bros. set to produce most of the new programming. It is likely that the new shows will air without...animesuperhero.com
I also entered 11th grade in high school in fall 2004. Things were already rough and stressful for me (like a real-life "What's New, Scooby-Doo?"), but the Looney Tunes being practically banished to Boomerang, a channel we and numerous other didn't have, didn't help at all. And with Cartoon Network largely playing nothing but action cartoons all Saturdays, my parents decided to give more "weekly" chores to do that day instead of unwinding...Boomerang was super useful in 2001 and digital subchannels didn't exist at that time, so local stations have to air analog and digital channels at same time until 2009.

Flashback: I was disappointed that I had to take Geometry and Algebra 1 for whole year.
but good thing, I passed both and didn't miss at all lol.
Yeah after Looney Tunes: Back in Action flopped and it means no more theatrical films based on LT until almost 20 years later.I also entered 11th grade in high school in fall 2004.

Boomerang is truly stuck on autopilot hell again. 6/10 is the same exact lineup
I don’t know, Zoinks. They’ve already been showing those cartoons (Holiday Highlights, Hollywood Capers and Honey's Money) for a while now (Honey’s Money in particular has been in rotation for a LONG time here). They’re leftovers of Dave Byer’s run on the network. Conversely, some of the prints of those cartoons still are the 90s masters even though new restorations have been made (Popeye Presents Eugene the Jeep is the REDRAWN VERSION). Who knows why they didn’t update them, I don’t.Maybe, but today's selection of Looney Tunes was surprisingly diverse and obscure: Holiday Highlights, a black and white short starring Beans the Cat, a Yosemite Sam one...a welcomed change from the usual Bugs/Daffy/Sylvester heavy lineups. Hope they do more of this in the future.
Well what do ya know, and I thought I caught a really unique selection hahaha. It seems that everytime I catch Looney Tunes on Boomerang it's always the same major characters (minus Pepe and Speedy Gonzales, for obvious reasons). They rarely if ever play one time characters or episodes. Anybody know why? No offense to Bugs, Sylvester or Road Runner but by now I'd rather see something like I Love to Singa than another rerun of What's Opera, Doc (Having said that I did see I Haven't Got a Hat today, but I'm sure you'd tell me that that too has been part of the rotation for a long time).I don’t know, Zoinks.

Well, about that, I do remember seeing one Pepe short on Boomerang recently.I thought I caught a really unique selection hahaha. It seems that everytime I catch Looney Tunes on Boomerang it's always the same major characters (minus Pepe, for obvious reasons).
Probably both.Same can be said for MGM and Flesicher shorts, They are already showing a ton of Tom and Jerry and Popeye so why can't we get some Droopy, Betty Boop or Tex Avery shorts? Is there some licensing thing I am not aware of, or just lazy and unadventurous scheduling.

I see. And to be fair, I haven't seen any Speedy Gonzales shorts aired on Boomerang AFAIK. I remember being on MeTV, but not Boomerang.I have been following Looney Tunes on Boomerang (or at the very least checking the schedule) for quite some time now and the only time I see Pepe is during the ads (specifically the "all your favorite Looney Tunes are here" part) but never in an actual short. I just edited my previous post to include Speedy Gonzales as well because I really cannot remember the last time I saw him. I am sure you guys are more informed about this matter though.
WB has the rights to the MGM and Popeye theatrical cartoons (in addition to their own, of course), but not those with Betty Boop (aside from the one where Popeye debuted).Same can be said for MGM and Flesicher shorts, They are already showing a ton of Tom and Jerry and Popeye so why can't we get some Droopy, Betty Boop or Tex Avery shorts?

They HAVE been showing 2 Pepe short’s (3 if you count his cameo in Dog Pounded) for a long while: Heaven Scent and Touché and Go (they also used to show Odor of the Day, Wild Over You and Who Scent You a lot, but haven’t to my knowledge since of last year). As for Speedy, to my knowledge the only one that’s currently airing on Boomerang is A Haunting We Will Go (unless you count his cameo in Fright Before Christmas).I have been following Looney Tunes on Boomerang (or at the very least checking the schedule) for quite some time now and the only time I see Pepe is during the ads (specifically the "all your favorite Looney Tunes are here" part) but never in an actual short.

I used to watch Boomerang full time in mid to late 2010s, so I can tell that they didn't air Speedy Gonzales shorts at all.I see. And to be fair, I haven't seen any Speedy Gonzales shorts aired on Boomerang AFAIK. I remember being on MeTV, but not Boomerang.
I see. I did watch Boomerang for about a couple months recently since when I was a kid. I do like the variety of shows they put out, and it does make the channel more lively again. Until Dave Byer left and MeTV Toons was announced, I quickly dipped out of Boomerang.I used to watch Boomerang full time in mid to late 2010s, so I can tell that they didn't air Speedy Gonzales shorts at all.
I did notice many same shorts again and again, even on same day.
