I saw one article that especifically mentioned how Weigel (Me TV's owner) is getting increasingly bigger shares of viewership, even with Streaming in mind and even showed charts but this one does mention Weigel accounted to 4% of the total viewership in April which also includes streaming.

EDIT: Found the other article I wanted.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - If you’re a fan of classic cartoons, there is a new channel for you.

We will launch MeTV Toons Tuesday morning on free antenna channel 14.2 in Lubbock.

The show lineup includes Bugs Bunny and Friends, Inspector Gadget, The Smurfs, Popeye and Pals, The Tom and Jerry Show, Scooby-Doo Where Are You!, The Flintstones and much more. See the detailed schedule here.

A sister station to KCBD, KMYL 14.2 is a free over-the-air antenna channel in Lubbock. Occasionally, over-the-air viewers need to rescan their channel lineup to receive new channels. More information on how to rescan is here.
Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula :thumbup:

I love that there are even tutorials on how to watch the channel with an antenna. I hope this is a success.

Unfortunately, it's not available in my area on the air. I'd need Philo or Frndly TV for it. Pity.

...also what do you mean, "Hong Kong Phooey" is E/I compliant? Also maybe "Heyyy, It's the King!" but I haven't seen that one, so. The other two ("Captain Planet" and "Histeria!") make more sense

Hanna Montana is EI compliant, anything is at this point.

One thing though. Ojamajo Doremi was turned into EI fodder but it had bombs, like a LEGIT bomb, one that explodes and everything, called by that name. A girl bleeds a bit, it was a pretty edgy show even dubbed. Sure the Japanese version is even more so, it has lots of things that are WRONG. Like when an Elementary Schoolgirl used THAT KIND of bunny outfit.

Hanna Montana also got away with showing angel halos during its EI fodder broadcast on ABC Kids.

This topic doesn’t have anything to concretely do with Dragon Ball or Toriyama’s larger breadth of works.

There is an ongoing issue with certain users and the tendency to wildly extrapolate and/or theorize about unrelated topics, overwhelmingly dominating the appearance of who discusses what on this forum. This has the unintended effect of actually DRIVING AWAY potential new registrants and discussion partners, so please take this into consideration as you create new threads.
