Uh... it will be a national network in Canada. There is nothing to indicate if they would expand to the U.S. as well. So you probably won't get it in the U.S.
Maybe if it proves to be really popular here they'll consider it -- but you never know. |

Great to hear it. Of course it makes sense to say "Adult" because a lot of the difference in culture makes the stuff that Japan runs as every day seem very edgy here in North America (US & GWN). That way we shouldn't have to worry about Disco Guns and lots of editing. Would be nice if they have it on DirecTV... I would certainly spring for the extra expense. |

I'd love to see this go through but I seriously doubt it some anime are pretty blooding and them tend to be the best ones so and others show alot of cosplay (not that its bad but YTV is a childrens network and the FCC or whoever controls Canadian tv sensership might say no) because of that I'm sure it wouldn't be the same even if it was accepted. I'm a huge anime fan and I'd probably watch it regardless but still it'd be better to download it and read the subtitles if that were the case.

ok i only have 1 thing to say. This channel is the future of programming for us canadians. It has been many years since the airing of the first anime in canada. and now we are on the verge of obtaining an actual channel dedicated to the shows. I for one am 100% behind this. and as for the whole Adult thing. I say that it should be ok. Razer has Basilisk, samurai 7, and trinity blood. and those shows are for a mature audience.(exspecially Basilisk). CRTC has to realize that the eastern programming is in high demand over here.

Shaw did not own YTV, Shaw was once owned by Corus, which is the parent company of YTV. Since Shaw was spun off into a separate company I do not think they would receive any kind of preferential treatments. To get a channel like this off the ground they would need as many subscribers as possible so I would imagine it would be made available to what ever network or company that wants to carry it. |

I don't think there's any way YTV would drop it's regular anime block, it is by far their most successful one. If anything, they'll keep it there to cross-promote the new channel.
I'm really excited about this news - it's about damn time Canada got its own anime channel, India has one, for God's sake! Also, there have been a number on anime YTV has picked up from Cartoon Network that have been much more successful here than they were Stateside, including Gundam, so it would be good to have more avenues for more kinds of anime. Especially if it means FINALLY getting some shojo on the air! I love my shonen too, but I think the expansion of anime and manga in North America would get a huge boost if something like the upcoming Paradise Kiss would get on air. YTV still doesn't show enough anime, in my opinion, and anime is a dropped ball that Teletoon has no intention of acknowledging. I am concerned that this will be a digital cable thing, but I think I would go ahead and get digital for this. Then they can give Kirby Morrow and Scott MacNeil a whole show just to fill out their Canadian content laws . . . mmmmm yeah . . . |

Teletoon seems to be a really good supporter of Canadian content, and small shows that other channels wouldn't pick up. I wish they would make more Undergrads and Clone High.
An all anime channel sounds great...although I must admit I'm sick and tired of InuYasha, Naruto, and Full Metal Alchemist. |

Here is how to make yourself heard online.
Go to this link: http://support.crtc.gc.ca/rapidscin/default.aspx?lang=en&applicant=n2006-10 Select the YTV radio button (check mark) and click on the next button at the bottom of the page. It will prompt you through the process. You can make written comments supporting the channel and then afterward you will be prompted for your name, address, etc... (be honest, the last thing we need is for the CRTC to consider the fans a bunch of flakes). You will get the option to submit your name to appear in person, beware, they just may call on you to appear, so be ready if you are serious. Then follow the online prompts and you are done. Your comments will appear on the CRTC website with regard to the YTV petition. Tell your friends, your local anime club, whoever may want to support such a channel!

Teletoon has already officially stated that it will never run anime shows on that channel, eventhough the hypocrites claim to be a channel that airs "international" animated programming. The Anime channel will not run kids shows, it is geared toward the mature and adult anime market, shows like Ergo proxy, Evnagelion, Gankutsuou and Cowboy Bebop, would find a home there, as well as the more adult themed animated movies, that you wouldn't want you kids seeing. |

I did it!!!!!! Yay me! I said I was in favour of the proposal so I really hope the CRTC will put it through. *crosses fingers*
Also, when you go to that website that was posted a couple posts ago, you have to click on the button that says "2006-10". and then follow what it says. ^^ |
