OG Dragon Ball aired on Smile TV Cyprus on various time slots. The video that you are linking here is actually for Dragon Ball Z on Smile TV Greece. It's just that they used the OG Dragon Ball Opening for all the Dragon Ball Z episodes they were airing (the ad is also wrong as the announcer refers to the plot of the first series).

By the way, here are all the time slots for OG Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z on ANT1 in case you are interested in them: Ημερομηνίες και ώρες προβολής του Dragon Ball στον ΑΝΤ1

Hey, thanks for sharing this. I've updated the section on the Greek dub with the info you provided.

Interesting that original Dragon Ball footage was (perhaps mistakenly?) used for a Dragon Ball Z promo. Reminds me of the situation with the now defunct illegal Pakistani broadcaster Cinemachi Kids that aired a promo seemingly advertising original Dragon Ball that labelled it as "Dragon Ball Z".

I thought of adding a "Rumoured Dubs" section too, as Cinemachi Kids dubbed some shows like Fullmetal Alchemist into Urdu but we don't know if Dragon Ball or Z got dubbed into the language or if they just aired the English dub, as I haven't seem any recordings or reports from fans in Pakistan who caught this broadcast.

[TheRed259]

I think you accidentally put the trailer from ANT1 Cyprus on your Smile TV Cyprus section.

Also, the start day that you removed from Smile TV Cyprus (late 2018/January 2019) was actually right. When I said that I don't know when exactly it started or when it ended I was talking about ANT1 Cyprus.

1995 US English dub

Production Companies: Dick & Rodgers Sound, Funimation, Inc.

TV Broadcast

• YTV: March 16, 1996

The FUNimation/BLT dub of DB premiered in the United States on syndicated TV stations on September 9, 1995. The syndication of the dub was handled by SeaGull Entertainment Inc.

If you check the ending credits of the dub, the reversioning of the dub ("English Reversioning") was done by Josanne B. Lovick Productions, Inc. Also, BLT Productions isn't credited anywhere, although I may be wrong.

Thanks, I knew the US BLT dub debut date must have been documented somewhere but couldn't remember where.

Yeah, Funimation partnered with Josanne B Lovick productions possibly for video work (censorship, construction of OP and EDs etc), Lovick signed the actor's paychecks, handled the unions and may have helped Funimation find talent in Vancouver. Funimation were a new company at the time so they did a lot of outsourcing until they had the resources to do things in-house.

Minor update, but today Dragon Ball will be rebroadcast on Çufo TV in Albania.

Two episodes each will be aired from 1:40pm-2:30pm and 8:25pm-9:15pm (the latter is presumably a rerun of the former timeslot's episodes).
