For example, I was watching the SpongeBob episode "Karate Star" on NickToons today, and I noticed that during the scene at the Krusty Krab, a majority of the music was cut. I started to think "Was this a censor, or just a weird music editing choice?" I decided to check my Amazon copy, and there was a scene with Patrick karate chopping the Krusty Krab door, meaning Nick UK cut that scene out.
I also have a copy of this episode from Cula4 (Irish dub) and the scene was kept there. Just goes to show how strict Nick UK can be.
Heck, Cartoon Network UK cut out the remainder of Steven Universe's finale not long ago.

I know as the wordmark being contained in blocks is unique enough to be trademarked, however they want to keep things consistent and tied in with their new in-house typeface in terms of branding in the same way Gill Sans was used. Reithification has been a slow but steady process, the second Reith replaced Gill Sans for general usage by BBC (which cost money on font (or I should say typeface) licensing), it was also bound to be used in the logo, which also used Gill Sans.
I was skimming through this topic and felt compelled to talk about the whole Saturday morning magazine show debate. I'm on the older end of gen z so I grew up very much with the end of this type of show (think Dick and Dom, TMI, Toonattik and Ministry of Mayhem).
I have to disagree that there is no space for kids wanting to watch a solid 3 hours of linear programming, because frankly, kids watch their favourite twitch personalities streaming for far longer than 2-3 hours. Also, I agree with the user who said that these magazine shows are perfect for going viral, with the 5-10 minute segments. More importantly, it's the personality of the presenters that keeps the whole thing glued together, and keeps people watching, it's the same principle as twitch/youtube streams, or IG and tiktok lives. The initial draw is the game or topic the personality is streaming, but the reason that anyone sticks around to watch for that long is the personality.
Sure you can watch spiderman on demand, it's fantastic too if you do, but the level of interactivity that you you get from in vision presentation that ties up the 3-4 episodes you watch during the magazine show is what really sells the experience of watching it, and I think mash up should probably take a lot more risks than its currently doing.
You keep saying your kids aren't interested but then say that one of them does watch it albeit with multitasking, on the other hand, I have two younger sisters who are 15 and 11 and the younger one pretty much exclusively uses the family tv for viewing so often switches from linear TV to disney +. She gets to go on youtube on my dad's phone for a while everyday, but despite all that she knows the timing of Pop's after school schedule and often tunes in when she wants to, which isn't too different to how I used to watch Pop in 2004-2008.
Like others have said, I don't think it's as simple as saying they don't want to watch this type of content - because they watch condensed versions of this stuff in the form of online live streaming on various apps - rather it hasn't been made available to today's kids in its best form. If Dick and Dom started streaming on twitch with the exact same format, except with the added interactivity of a live chat, I'm certain it would do well. In vision continuity - or continuity in general - is genuinely what makes or breaks a kids channel imo, and I still have good memories of CN because of the City era giving off a similar vibe as CBBC continuity. Frankly, the biggest reason I stuck to watching pop was Rorry and Purrdy, until they started airing reruns of beyblade and other anime.
I have seen both scrambled and mash up and I think both are rather watered down iterations of even the last Saturday morning shows to air before them (which would be Toonattik I presume), and I definitely think CBBC should give Mash Up a shake up now, to really reinvigorate it. These shows worked best when absolutely off the wall stuff was happening which even made the presenters collapse into fits of giggles.
Anyway, all that to say, I disagree with your anecdotal evidence because of my own anecdotal evidence and extraopolations, haha

The new Cartoon Network Studios production card is shown at the end of We Baby Bears which premiered in the U.S. on 1st January, that show will premiere in the EMEA region (which includes the UK) from March.
Just an update, the new Cartoon Network Studios logo production card made its UK debut today, with the premiere of We Baby Bears. Still don't know when the "Redraw Your World" rebrand will debut in the UK, but throughout the last decade, it's typical of Cartoon Network UK to rebrand at the start of the school summer holidays (based on England term dates). The rebrand was promised to have an international rollout, Asia-Pacific and Latin America have already been rebranded, it's just the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region (and Canada) left to rebrand.

Ah, Rory...or as he was known to few in 1997, 'Tricky', one of ITV's lesser known Saturday morning competitors against the Live and Kicking juggernaut, which only lasted a couple of months.
I remember last month, Nickelodeon was due to premiere some SpongeBob episodes (263b, 271, 273, 274 and 276b), but they didn’t. Contacted them on why and they never got back. Shame.
I also hope we get new The Patrick Star Show episodes soon. Maybe after The Smurfs premieres.
Tomorrow, Pop Max (208) will be removed from the GMAN MUX on Freeview, nationwide that channel number will be used as an entry point for Pop Player for Freeview Play viewers, a Pop Max stream can be viewed via the Pop Player online service.

I've received an email from Cartoon Network UK saying that the "Redraw Your World" branding campaign is coming in early July, so expect a rebrand during that month.
In terms of visual presentation, EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) is Warner's most complex and fragmented region mainly because of the amount of languages and sub-teams, which is likely why this region is last. Latin America only has to deal with two languages. Asia's visual presentation is predominately in English, except for Japan and South Korea (although there's several language audio tracks). Also EMEA has to find a solution on how to present Redraw Your World in a textless manner for the pan-regional feeds. Despite wait (which is usually sometimes a year), The UK usually improves upon the U.S. branding package, so I'll be interested on how RYW will be implemented.
Five years of Dimensional? Wow.
POP are now interested in co-productions and commissions, they were only really interested in acquisitions up until now. Also, exclusive programming on the Pop Player.
Quote:Francesca Newington, director of POP Channels at Narrative Entertainment said “Acquisitions for us have always been super important, They’ve been 95 percent to 100 percent of our content. We are trying to do more prebuys where possible so that we can broaden our rights and also so that we can plan future strategy a little bit better. And we are also now diving into the world of co-pros and commissions. We’re going to take it step by step, but we would welcome any submissions to us in that space. We also have our AVOD offering, the Pop Player, which incorporates catch-up content. And for that, we are looking to introduce exclusive content that doesn’t feature on the linear channels.

Really interesting piece that but leaves me with the impression once kids hit double figures they're left on the scrap heap. Always assumed it was my age that gave me the impression kids shows were more kiddish nowadays but seems that is the strategy.
Sorry for the bump, but it looks like Nick is shifting premieres of their cartoons from NickToons to Nick. New Loud House episodes seem to be airing on Nick in 2 more weeks. They also premiered some Big Blue episodes last month too.
