Cartoonito Launching As A Linear Channel!!! Did Kidscreen Let The Cat Out Of The Bag?

-


As WarnerMedia in Europe, Middle East and Africa gear up for the return of Cartoonito. WarnerMedia sourced out several content with the recent addition Spookies as reported by Kidscreen greenlit for the "linear channel" in 2023.

Cartoonito launched in several markets either as a programming block or linear channel and viewers feeling agitated wonder the possible implications it will have to their viewing.

In Latin America, the brand is set to replace Boomerang by the end of November with several shows being phased out except for Tom And Jerry and Scooby-Doo which are considered preschool for that market.

If this format is duplicated, Boomerang's death will be less painful for everyone. Cartoonito might be stocking them up to increase their success rate and eventually dump them.

November is almost up with Bionic Max and Dino Ranch nowhere in site on Cartoon Network and Boomerang respectively. The possible delay could have something to do with the rollout of Cartoonito.

WarnerMedia plans to offer over 50 preschool series within the next 3 years and such amount can't be confined to mere block.

Streamlining forms part of WarnerMedia's vision for the market seeing that HBO Max will arrive in 2025. We could be looking at another Tom And Jerry where the mouse eventually gets caught.

Why Openview Consumers Are Now Able To Watch Games Exclusive To SuperSport And DStv?

A few years ago, SuperSport which serves as one of the largest sports broadcasters in Africa offering a wide range of sports ranging from football, rugby, tennis, boxing and wrestling formalised an agreement with the SABC for Betway Premiership. Initially, these games could have been viewed on rival broadcasters like Openview alongside SABC:s DTT. In recent years, SuperSport decided to add some restrictions to these agreements when licensing them to the SABC that included blocking transmission from being received to Openview consumers. This benefited the SABC as they would be paying much less for these rights and it prompted eMedia Investments to take legal action. Several punches were thrown during this time with eMedia Investments accusing SuperSport of an abuse in power while they accused them of "free riding". eMedia Investments' didn't need to pay for these games as they were being broadcast on SABC 1 so this was basically burdened to the SABC at the time eMedia
