CN Late Night Programming Alert

[Killtacular]

Because noone has given us a straight answer and it's almost four days away, there's little reason in silencing anyone about it anymore. Some people DO need to know it's coming up. Sorry to those that were silenced over the past few days. It was a necessary measure.

There is going to be a stealth, or test, run of two shows every Friday night between 1-2 AM, starting THIS Friday. The schedule is tentative to change so don't get TOO excited (bringing too much attention to it might be undesirable).

I suppose you could, but I might have to tinker with the finished product. And be sure it's up with time to spare.

[PaQ]

ah, wow. Well I'm glad we can finally sorta talk about it. I almost thought it started last friday, but luckily I was wrong. When I had found out about this awhile ago, I hoped it would come out to be true, and hopefully it will stay this way. I didn't find out it was Twilight till last week, before then I thought we were just getting Sign back, which would've been fine too.

Glad to see the titles of the episodes of Twilight, I'd been wondering what they were since on CN, when I checked before they hadn't put titles.. Sounds like it's going to be an interesting Friday night. :D

I guess they're airing them there since Toonami is already full....

[Rabi~en~Rose]

ok! :) when should I have it up by? 12 am maybe? oh and I did add a extra note about how the show isnt canon hehe

[True Noir]

Awesome! Although I do have to stay up till 1, but I guess it's worth it!:)

CookieS this is what I was talking about when I PMed you.

[kaine23]

very cool news!

[Supernovametalstar]

Jeez, will they ever advertise anything anymore? Why stealth premieres of shows that have a following? If my internet was still down for the rest of the week, I probably never would have found out. :(

[herbkir]

Yes! Anime sneaks back onto Fridays. Now I have a reason to watch CN again that night. I'm not sure what to read into this though. Is this a stealthy expansion of Toonami into Friday nights? Or the launch of a Friday Video Entertainment System (FVES) for the teen/adult crossover shows that don't fit anywhere else on CN? We'll see. It is interesting, now matter how you look at it. (^_*)

For single shows premiering that aren't that important? Nope...

The first advertisement for Rave Master on Toonami didn't air until 10 minutes before the premiere.

Call me crazy, but I would consider anything I paid the broadcast rights to "important". Perhaps the network has gotten too big? Kinda like how Gameshow Network started small, but as soon as it got some money, they changed their name and logo (they also have gone with the letters for a name) and gotten rid of some of the old classics that made people watch. (This is coming from discussons I've heard about the network, I've rarely watched it myself).

Cartoon Network has said they want to be able to rotate in new shows all year round, so I think that very much agrees that they are growing too big. They should have all the classics go to Boomerang for good and get it accessible on regular cable like they are. Then they'd have a few more hours to experiment with.

I actually have mentioned the Cyborg's and .Hack//Legend of the Twilight a few times here and there (mostly on Toonami's board since we are discussing it there) to try and get the word out as well.
