The lineup is great (think I'll tune in for S3 of DBZKai for nostalgia's stake), but.... WWE? That's kinda random. I kinda expected another cartoon, not a wrestling show. I don't think they'll get good ratings like that.

Wow, a slightly better lineup than I was expecting. I'm surprised that they got Justice League and Nick's Iron Man series (I wonder how that came about?)

I think they acquired Justice League Unlimited through 4Kids' previous arrangements with the CW (which has ties to Cartoon Network).

Iron Man: Armored Adventures, that might be because it has ties to Cartoon Network too (through sister network, Teletoon).

Sheesh, looks like they just got Nick, CN, and Disney's leftovers to put on here.

if anyone tuned in to the CW4Kids this morning would know that in two weeks (When Saban takes over), they'll be airing Season 3 of Dragon Ball Z Kai (Showed shots of Mecha Frieza and Future Trunks) and next week, we will be getting a new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, along with a marathon of random Yu-Gi-Oh!/Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal episodes.


pass except Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal speaking no word by season 3 of TaiChiChasers [censored]!

Assuming you're talking about the Canadian Teletoon, they're not sister networks. They share a lot of programming, and have produced shows together but they're not under the same ownership.

Saban Brands likely just got the Warner vault of shows they weren't airing and picked up Justice League. Just as The Hub picked up Batman: TAS years ago. Saban Brands also likely just rang up Disney's door (which obviously has a history with Saban Brands via the Power Rangers purchase) and got a show that Disney/Marvel wasn't going to do anything with.

I was surprised Old Toonami got away with Cell's absorbing people, I'm genuinely interested in how Saban deals with it.

They're called sister networks in the same way that certain cities that have an international business relationship are called sister cities. Shows from Cartoon Network air on Teletoon and vice-versa, with accompanying business deals.
