Network Ten Airings

Post by Dragon Ball Ireland » Tue Sep 02, 2025 8:57 am

Since we had a thread for the main channel that aired Dragon Ball in the Great White North here's one for Down Under.

This is all the info I could find for Dragon Ball on Australia's Network Ten.

Dragon Ball Z: First premiered January 31, 2000 on Network Ten's "Cheez TV" block, hosted by Jade and Ryan. One episode aired every weekday morning between 8am and 8:30am. Irwin Toys were shown during these segments. Season 3, which consisted of 77 episodes was aired between February 12, 2001 and May 29, 2001 and rerun from October 26, 2001 to February 11, 2002. Season 4 followed between February 12, 2002 and April 11, 2002. The series then took a long break and was rerun from the beginning starting May 6, 2002 and reaching episode 40 again on July 11, 2002. Episodes 41-53 were also rerun between July 15, 2002 and August 1, 2002. Season 2, which was 49 episodes followed between August 2, 2002 and October 10, 2002. This was followed up by episodes 104-179 rerun between October 14, 2002 and January 27, 2003. The final rerun of older episodes was for season 4 (43 episodes), which lasted from January 28, 2003 to March 27, 2003. New episodes starting with season 5 was broadcast between April 22, 2003 and June 26, 2003. A further 16 episodes were aired from July 15, 2003 to August 11, 2003. The entire Australian season 5 was rerun between August 12, 2003 and October 10, 2003.
Although the show was taken off the air sometime between 2003 and 2004 it returned in mid-2010 on Cheez TV's successor "Toasted TV" where it was broadcast Saturdays at 6:30am.
Dragon Ball GT: Also aired on "Cheez TV". Like the US, the first 16 episodes were skipped and replaced with A Grand Problem. The next 28 episodes premiered between March 15, 2004 and April 30, 2004. The final 20 episodes made their debut between May 3, 2004 and June 7, 2004.
All the debut dates for Dragon Ball Z seasons 3-5 as well as reruns of them and older episodes in addition to GT premiers are sourced from this page.

Like the US, New Zealand and South Africa the Saban dub was shown for the first 53 episodes of Dragon Ball Z followed by Funimation's inhouse dub for the rest of the series and GT.
