In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March. For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

Hold onto your pic-a-nic baskets as MeTV Toons, the only TV network dedicated exclusively to classic animation, celebrates the 65th anniversary of The Yogi Bear Show with Yogi’s 65th Anniversary Pic-a-nic, an all-day marathon event honoring the www.animationmagazine.net/2026/02/metv...

And MeTV Toons just showed a promo for the Yogi Bear marathon on February 22. It's celebrating the 65th anniversary of the premiere of The Yogi Bear Show. Don't know when it'll come online, but the network just officially started promoting it.

MeTV Toons is adding several classic shows to their lineup, starting tomorrow, Saturday, February 7th. New to the channel are 'Moby Dick & Mighty Mightor', 'New Space Ghost & Herculoids Show', 'Legion of Super-Heroes', and 'Krypto the Superdog'! Their full schedule at www.metvtoons.com/schedule/

Expect to see more of Snoopy and company as they join the Sony family. CFO Lin Tao stated that Sony Pictures’s film and TV outlets will “make the Peanuts IP more accessible to a wider audience and share its charm with people all over the world.” variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Ha! That's "funtastic!" I really hope the person who shouted out at me about not watching MeTV Toons because they don't give Hanna-Barbera shows a marathon will actually watch this Yogi Bear marathon on February 22.

MeTV’s partnership with Warner Bros., which led to the creation of MeTV Toons, continues to pay off as “The Wizard of Oz” will air on the network this October, marking the first time the legendary film has run on a non-paid network since 1998: www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

MeTV Toons doing a Yogi Bear marathon later this month...So where's the complaints about not doing Hanna-Barbera marathons again?

'The Wizard of Oz' Will Air on Broadcast Television in October www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

MeTV Toons started airing Promos today for its new Super Afternoon Saturday block of Super Friends, Legion of Superheroes, and Krypto The SuperDog. youtu.be/_WjYIaIkDp0?...

Weigel Broadcasting has secured the exclusive broadcast rights to air The Wizard of Oz in October on MeTV with plans to air it multiple times throughout that month as part of MeTV Halloween BOO-Nanza. metv.com/stories/metv...

Since I was away from a vacation, to make up with some repeated Harveytoons that added not Milton and Batfink but the post 1962 Paramount Shorts. I think it also the first time to show the Noveltoon name onscreen

Yesterday they had Wacky Races and today they had Dastardly and Muttkey as part of House Of Hanna Barbera on Metv Toons. I hope they keep adding different shows to the block. There are so many they could add and I hope they do. I also like they changed the order some of the toons air in.

- TCM has make a deal to air the Looney Tunes cartoons despite being owned by WBD for accounting puropses

- TCM has produced a 5-6 minute piece celebrating Bugs Bunny that features Patton Oswalt, Dana Gould, and Bill Hader - A second special titled "Looney Tunes Come Home" airs later and features Joe Dante, Jerry Beck, and Mark McCray - Non-exclusive deal, meaning Tubi and MeTV will still carry Looney

More info about Looney Tunes on TCM, from The Extras TV: youtu.be/2OpCXJD3jkY - TCM will air the cartoons uncensored and unedited (duh), with context for shorts containing outdated/offensive depictions - TCM will pair cartoons with the classic feature films they accompanied in theaters

Turner Classic Movies has acquired the rights to air 750+ Looney Tunes shorts as part of a six-year deal, starting February 2. Bugs Bunny is the Star of the Month in February, with 45 shorts airing from 2/2 - 2/7, paired with appropriate films. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t...

Looks like Toon In with Me will air the post 1962 Paramount shorts, Laddy and His Lamp.

WBD press release: "The Looney Tunes library represents one of the most influential bodies of work in animation history. Through this ongoing presentation, TCM ensures these cartoons are celebrated, contextualized, and accessible to audiences of all ages. press.wbd.com/us/media-rel... #LooneyTunes

TCM will become the “ongoing home” of the LOONEY TUNES library. A six-year licensing deal for more than 750 shorts starts in Feb. "We’re able to present these cartoons with the care they deserve alongside the classic films they helped influence." www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/t... #FilmSky

Wait a tick. TCM has a six-year deal to air Looney Tunes. Did... did Looney Tunes just save TCM? Six years is a pretty lengthy commitment, and this one goes into 2032. So, yeah, I think that's a good indication that at least on the surface, TCM might be around a bit longer now.

Turner Classic Movies is now joining Boomerang, MeTV, MeTV Toons, Movies!, Catchy Comedy and Tubi in this magnificent list of channels and services to watch classic #LooneyTunes without a paywall. Licensing works, folks.

Variety, especially in the FAST space, is pretty damn good to see. Even better when FAST channels actually have a straight lineup and aren't airing mass globs of marathons. Man, I want these studios with bigger libraries embrace FAST a lot more in the future.

Hasbro Legends also has Beetleborgs, VR Troopers, the Real American Hero and DIC eras of G.I. Joe, the original My Little Pony and My Little Pony Tales, Jem and the Holograms, and Duel Masters. A pretty well-rounded collection of retro Hasbro shows.

The fourth channel is definitely an eye-opener, especially for those who dig toyetic shows. Hasbro launched a Hasbro Legends channel which has stuff like Transformers and Power Rangers, both of which already have stand-alone FAST channels. What else it airs kind of surprises me a lot more.

Just noticed there's now a "Hasbro Legends" Fast Channel on Prime Video with Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Beetleborgs, Transformers, GI Joe, and Jem and the Holograms. I wonder how long this FAST Channel's been another.

Jokes aside, although it is likely to be another marathon of Bugs Bunny theatrical shorts, I'm at least glad that the channel is doing more events outside of the annual Bugs marathon in July and the holiday stuff.

TV Insider listed the event in Spanish for some reason. I'm ready for the best of BENITO.

What's this? A special Super Bowl event? So that's why MeTV Toons held off Speed Buggy and Bear Bunch until the 15th.

Just read the A3SA's Comment on the FCC Docket. At the very end was a section addressing DVR Records. They make it sound as if they are fine with DVR, but with a catch that they want your recording to have DRM and to limit your ability to skip commercials. www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/...

New shows coming to MeTV Toons next month: - Taz-Mania - Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor - The New Space Ghost and Herculoids Show - Legion of Super Heroes - Krypto the Superdog - Speed Buggy - Help!... It's the Hair Bear Bunch!

As yesterday was the Comments deadline for the latest FCC ATSC3 NextGenTV proposal, there were a lot of filings from major groups yesterday including this 43 page filing from Weigel Broadcasting which calls out all the issues with the big broadcast groups plans. www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/...

MeTV Toons new schedule starting 2/2 is out. 6 new shows being added to the lineup. Taz-Mania Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor The New Space Ghost and Herculoids Show Legion of Super Heroes Krypto the Superdog Speed Buggy Help!... It's the Hair Bear Bunch! metvtoons.com/stories/here...

Just as I thought. They WILL be rotating Yogi with Huck. I find it interesting that MeTV Toons is rotating Yogi with Huck before that show went through all the episodes. Besides the shorts blocks and stuff like Scooby-Doo, I don't think I've seen the channel constantly rotate a show everyday yet.

Looks like MeTV Toons will finally be airing Taz-Mania on February 2nd, after airing the Christmas episode. But comes at the cost of booting Huckleberry Hound's timeslot from the schedule. Wonder if they'll rotate it with the Yogi Bear show from that point on, since they both have Yogi segments.

Found another stack of Unlabeled and possibly Mislabeled VHS Tapes in the bottom of my closet. More VHS Tapes to add to the many others on a shelf in my closet that I've been through, seeing what's on them, and Digitalizing.

This is a good read but don't rule out MeTV,MeTV Toons played a part in it too and not forgetting Boomerang too.
