The name "Bionix" doesn't mean anything... |

[b]I WAS SO MAD!
 [/b] On Friday I went into my Parents room to watch TV, because my mom wanted to talk with my Aunt who was visiting, at 7:00 Mountain Time (MT) expecting to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. I found Being Ian! I never watched Being Ian from the Start and I was verry unhappy! I even started a forum on the website! I stayed up until 2:00 MT to watch my anime. O yea. I said to myself "Friday Night is supposed to be my [b]anime[/b] night." And another thing, They said in the Bionix promos "The best anime" or something like that. Then they go and change it to [b]some[/b] anime! Aw well, atleast they didn't change InuYasha and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Okay, if you say so. 
However, Bionix had an established identity. My point is that they're completely going against that identity by including live-action shows and shows that don't appeal to the block's target. I doubt the name was chosen randomly, but whether or not it "means something" is irrelevant. |

The repeat timeslot has always been 1:30 PM on Saturdays. =\ While I never liked Reboot/Beasties on Bionix for such a lengthly period of time, I knew they had to be there, so I ended up not minding much. However, I really dislike the live-action programming on Bionix now, especially Zixx: Lv. 2. Dark Oracle is the most fitting of the three, since it actually has some animation and it's a decent show IMO. Monster Warriors though? Ugh. I'd rather have Beast Wars airing there. While it's fine to have the less anime during the earlier hours, they should have an alternate method of putting the anime for kids on the schedule. Maybe spreading them out throughout the week or making some premieres on Saturday night would work? =\ |

I think the best strategy for YTV would be to disperse YGO GX, One Piece, and Zatch Bell to different nights of the week between 6-8pm. Some may miss them, but the station really needs to focus on the later hours if they don't want to run into problems like this in the future.
If they do this, they can ensure that 6-8pm on Fridays can be devoted exclusively to CanCon (Canadian dubbed anime or otherwise). Then all they'd have to do is just run one Canadian dubbed anime in between Naruto and Bionix (like, say, Full Moon), and have one Canadian dubbed show air during the later hours (GSD or Inuyasha), and they theoretically could just run shows without worrying about CanCon rules for the rest of the night. Also, it may interest some of you guys, or at least Buster, to know that the Zannen, Canada forum is back up. Head down there if you'd like to discuss this stuff in greater detail. |

Does anybody know why they changed it, was it to comply with CanCon regulation, or was it just an attempt to get more of their own programing in.

That's great! Thanks for letting us (or at least me) know. 
I would've probably found out the next morning though.
