Hey, he never lies to me! And he talked to an actual representative....= Instant bullshit.
I can't confirm that or anything......Crystal Clair said:Sorry for the bump but I just heard
Nickelodeon has bought the rights to Pokemon (cartoon network cant air it without paying Nickelodeon)
I'm honestly wondering if this is true. I mean I did find out on the sixth of June. But my sister's boyfriend never lies. He works at the cable company and he met representatives from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. It turns out the respresentative from Nickelodeon told him (he asked because we had this discussion) and they told him this.
Can someone confirm this?
Nomekop Oen said:But then there's the issue (if I remember correctly),that networks can't advertise as much since Pokemon would be considered children's programming.
Nomekop Oen said:It's why the Kids'WB weekday line-up was axed and moved to Saturday's only if I'm not mistaken.
Nomekop Oen said:Besides,going from syndication,to network,and then back into syndication isn't exactly what I'd call progress.I can't see Pokemon USA making a good case for themselves if something like that ever happened.
the gadfly said:As I recall, it was because the WB affiliates wanted to air shows that were more profitable.
All I got was a former Nickelodeon exec was hired on as a PUSA promoter.Crystal Clair said:Hey, he never lies to me! And he talked to an actual representative....
If you're not willing take me seriously then I'll go get him for you. He's at my house too...
edit: he doesn't want to be bothered right now. He just says to go email Nickelodeon to really find out. He says that you're just too lazy to do research and some other stuff I'd be banned for if I posted it here.
the gadfly said:So, let me get this straight.
The WB dropped its weekday broadcasts of Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and the rest because of "commercial time"? Meaning the time spent during commercial breaks promoting the shows, but the not actually the shows themselves?
Dogasu said:Not promoting the shows, but promoting other products. Like toys and movies and video games and whatnot.
Dogasu said:While I think the FCC explanation is part of the reason weekday Kids' WB! got axed, I think the bigger issue was that the weekday block just wasn't getting good enough ratings. That's probably due to the fact that the block was, more often than not, nothing but reruns, and also the fact that stuff like ER and Friends can reach a wider audience than a bunch of kids' cartoons can.
