Doesn't the WBD UK team know what a preschooler channel is?

I find it ironic they promote their show dates with the mention "after school at 5pm", like they do with CN and Boomerang

First: they're not intended to be at school, obviously, second, there's no need to have everything at the likes of 4-7pm, morning slots can be used, and are actually more productive

Going a little off topic but Cartoonito UK does it as well: I was talking about it a few months ago on the CN thread. Why don't they properly say "starting Monday" instead of "coming to CN"? Or even "today at 5:30".

CN Nordic also started doing it but worse, they don't even mention timeslots. They keep saying "new episodes are presented here on CN".

A chunk of their demographic skews over the early Primary School years, basically Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Kids turn six years old in Year 1, which is at the very bottom end of Cartoon Network's demographic and towards the bottom of Boomerang's.

Bugs Bunny Builders premieres on Cartoonito UK on Monday 1st November at 5pm.

That website, BroadcastProME, is too late to announce (maybe they don’t watch the channel on TV) and just waits for official press releases, as it’s already confirmed from before, because I saw that promo weeks ago on Boomerang MENA, and month ago, the license has been changed.


Even some cable platforms announces lately, and didn’t mention it on press, so Boomerang aired the announcement days ago.

Cartoonito CEE could potentially be getting rid of ratings pretty soon (maybe even tomorrow).
The new show, Toad & Friends, doesn't have any ratings. Although this could just be an error, but who knows... It would be nice if these would be finally gone.

That press releases is written as if Cartoonito didn't even exist as a block before. Besides, they say Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders will premiere on the new channel...

In a way, it never has existed before.

The new Cartoonito is quite "detached" from the previous form

Looks like that's not gonna happen... At least for now.
The error got fixed, Toad & Friends now has ratings.

Cartoonito MENA continuity:

Nothing too special, almost exactly like the block. One thing I noticed, they stopped mentioning the timeslots in promos:
