That could be their "geek" channel ITTL.
And that's actually not a bad idea.

And that's actually not a bad idea.
TheCoolTV should be able to help Henson compete with Disney's G4.

This Just In...
Days after Butch Hartman pled guilty to the wanton vandalism of Tara Strong's car during a 2004 argument outside of Turner's Techwood Drive offices, an Atlanta judge granted Cartoon Network full custody of both Fairly Odd Parents and Danny Phantom, the series Hartman created for the network earlier this decade. Cartoon Network's attorneys cited a secret clause in their contract which allowed them to continue both series without Hartman's involvement. Cartoon Network said in a statement that both series will take a hiatus for at least 18 months. Hartman will serve his sentence in the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections starting next month.

Well, on one hand, GREAT that Hartman is now in jail!
On the other hand, that's great that CN now has FULL rights to the shows. Can't wait to see their reboots.
Anything new on Cartoon Network this fall since it IS their 15th anniversary?
I see this as a win-win scenario for everyone but Hartman.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your St. Louis Sorcerers!
Back in August, the St. Louis Sorcerers - formerly the Jacksonville Jaguars - faced their new in-state rival Kansas City Chiefs at the annual Hall of Fame Game. Now, the regular season has begun.
In Week 1, the Sorcerers made their first return trip to Florida to take on the Miami Dolphins. It was there that the Sorcerers faced a hostile Joe Robbie Stadium crowd, wich included many former Jaguar fans joining the Dolphin faithful in the chorus of boos.
In Week 2, the Sorcerers played their home opener on Sunday Night Football against the Arizona Cardinals, the same team who left St. Louis almost 20 years ago.

Actually, one correction is that Belfast Giants were part of the EIHL set up from the start so you might need to adjust that list there.
Ok then, a 20 team league would certainly be quite the draw with all those teams combined.
Who would be the right partner to transmit EIHL matches to British fans? The only ones I can think of would be Sky or Eurosport, right?
Other than those maybe BBC Sport or Channel 4? Maybe ITV? Or perhaps there can be an ESPN or Fox Sports for the UK and Republic of Ireland?
I'd go with Channel 4, given how they were often broadcasting what is considering not well-known sports in the UK such as American football, I could see them willing to give the EIHL the attention needed if they want to compete with ITV and BBC. Sky did have the rights for it IOTL but it was just a highlights show and only did the play-off games got the live broadcasts and even then, they handled it quite poorly.
I could see though if the sport did get quite popular in the UK then Sky would likely want to try and get their hands on the broadcasting rights or at the very least a highlights package though it depends how much money they'd spend for it, Channel 4 would likely not want to part with it if it proves to be a major source of revenue for them.
Obviously a win-win for everyone except Mr. Hartman. Enjoy prison Butch!
Nice!

Melody (scored with a Cajun folk sound): Luz Ramirez
Lyrics: Del St. Pierre

@Roger Redux @Mitch! I haven't figured out how the song should go, but I have a feeling the words would be straightforward in encouraging kids to have paper and drawing materials ready as they follow along with Blanche.
Funding Credits (Lead-In)
Voiceover spoken by Gus: "Major funding for Cartooning Made Easy with Blanche Boudreaux has been provided by Walter Foster, the number one brand for instructional arts and crafts books since 1922. Additional funding is provided by The Stan Lee Foundation and Crayola. And by contributions to your PBS station from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Viewers Like You! Merci beaucoup!"

Again, the voiceover is spoken by Gus:
"Cartooning Made Easy with Blanche Boudreaux is a production of KECT Los Angeles...
...and WGBH Boston...
...in collaboration with Columbia-TriStar Television and Walt Disney Television."
Lead out notes:
Columbia-TriStar Television's new logo is the last eight seconds of the OTL 2001 Home Entertainment logo (LINK), albeit sped up to sync with the 90's jingle (LINK)
Walt Disney Television's new jingle is the last few notes of the OTL 2006 fanfare (LINK)

So what’s Oaxis gonna air aside from:
- CBS kids shows
- Discovery Kids programs
- DC/Columbia Tristar children’s shows
There might be room for original shows, or to license reruns from other studios.
Alrighty. And is it gonna be a kids Channel or a family channel, or have you not decided?
