Cartoon Network gets yet another wardrobe change Cartoon Network explained their big brand refresh this week. As more eyeballs hit the channel as a result of the larger Warner Bros. Discovery restructuring, the company has to forge a new path ahead. Senior Vice President of creative and design for Cartoon Network, Jacob Escobedo spoke to AdWeek's Mollie Cahillane about the changes. Traditionally, the channel has employed a CMYK color palette, but things are broadening out with this new refresh. In the comments, the sap took aim at those rumors of Cartoon Network's demise and singled out the new direction for the different programming blocks. Warner Bros.

During the year, various sources shared posters to Star Life's upcoming show Laxmi and just like Family Secrets on S3, they mistook the show for the one produced by the SABC. So we composed a demo of what's to come on the channel. As advised during the time, we had a list of content coming to the channel in the near future and unlike most of the upcoming attractions there wasn't a lot of downsizing involved to compile the list but readers shouldn't be worried as more content will be announced in due course. Here it is a list of shows that are said to launch on Star Life in the coming year part of which come from previous years and others awaiting release: Laxmi (Main Lakshmi Tere Aangan Ki) - 26 December Lakshmi, a middle-class young girl aims at earning money as her mom died of pneumonia and they failed to afford her treatment.

Conspiracy Theory: The Introduction To Nick Jr. Global

Image
Nick Jr. is an international preschool brand basically a division set by Paramount for audiences below Nickelodeon's demographic which serves to inspire, educate and offer safe content for kids and families alike. I don't watch Nick Jr. probably because I'm no longer their target audience or my brain capacity has evolved to such a point where you can spot the PBS and FOX. Anyways the shows I'm sure viewers would be familiar with include Dora The Explorer, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, Corn & Peg, Santiago Of The Seas, Shimmer And Shine, Nella The Princess Knight and Blaze And The Monster Machines. As seen in the past years, cable has seen a decline internationally with MultiChoice bleeding in not only Premium but Compact consumers as well following the continuous hikes in their subscription and cutback in premium channels.

The Amazing World might have been renewed for a season 7??? In September 2021, we learnt that Gumball was getting a movie and a series. Jump to present day and no details about these projects have been revealed. In fact, the movie's fate got worse as it was revealed to not be moving forward on HBO Max unless another streaming service picks it up. Nothing had been stated about the series but there's now we have confirmation that new content is coming soon and it comes from an employee that works on Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Here's what they say in a post on LinkedIn: I'm excited and very proud to be series producing The Amazing World Of Gumball for a season 7 for Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Watch out for job opportunities in 2023. But it just leads to further questions is this season 7 related to the new series or is it just a continuation of the original series.
