Can't wait to see whether or not kids will be interested. Anpanman probably wouldn't stand a chance were it to air on a network like Disney Junior, As a matter of fact, any anime that isn't Pokémon (now on Netflix) or Beyblade - both shows airing on Disney XD - tended to not do so hot on Disney-owned cable channels. Remember Doraemon and Yo-kai Watch? Both of THOSE shows also aired on Disney XD. Both bombed.

With that out of the way, I'm sure Rupert Murdoch and FOX (which owns Tubi) are excited to get back into kids' TV. Owning a pro-Trump news channel shouldn't be all that he should be known for.

Yeah, I agree. As cool as it would be for Anpanman to air on American TV, kids TV networks aren't all that interested in foreign shows anymore, in favor of domestic shows, as well as the fact that the former don't really bring in impressive ratings. Streaming is a better place for anime nowadays. TMS most likely realized that.
