i can’t lie, I don’t want CN EMEA to rebrand to Pastel. I’m sorry, it just doesn’t look good, and I know they would half-arse it and only use a select few of the assets, just like CN US is doing! I genuinely wouldn’t mind if they kept Dimensional for the rest of their life (this rebrand is really good and has a lot of assets), or until they can be bothered to make their own rebrand


Specifically to the UK, they do need to refresh their Dimensional. There are so many bumpers that originate from when they made promos and bumpers in SD and it’s so jarring

Yeah the SD idents are bad and also now no ECP's or Next and Later idents...

Personally, I don’t even want to see credits, despite what these guys who are really picky about TV would say. And yeah, I miss the now/later bumpers, they were so fun! Plus, the cross promotion bumpers

Hungarian TV channels nowadays cut credits in favor of short credit bumpers.


Thus, TV2 uses it even for Dexter's Lab.

CN CEE does cut credits, but only for airings that contain more than two episodes, and at the first batch before the "more" bumper.

same with Czech and Slovak TV channel.

SIC even used to cut credits of TV series (except morning cartoons).

I mean, why? It's not a movie

 

[Moleoman]

In Poland on other hand, only very few channels cut the credits (mainly Paramount channels and since recently AMC and Sundance Channel, in spite of the latter being offered a la carte).

In fact, before the 2011 revision of media law act according to which stations with Polish license have to show promo bumpers (and up next bumpers are counted as promos), ECPs were quite common on general channels.

Most Romanian channels do ommit the credits for the movies nowadays, which I really don't like.

Pro TV simply has a pushback header alongside the final moment of the respective film with the "important" credits and the copyright notice. And their original shows also have the same header which they show while the preview for the next episode is seen. They really are against full credits to an extreme.

While for channels like Antena 1 and Prima TV, they show the first few seconds of the credits which quickly cut-off to the tail end of them.

Oh, and let's not forget about the Nick channels...... Those are the only kids channel here which ommit the end credits, if I am not wrong, and it's not even local.

Say what you want, but credits are very important. They are part of the film/series' presentation which shouldn't be ruined. Channels like CN and Disney Channel know the right way and I am glad for that.

You're not forced to watch credits If you don't want to, but forcing other people not to watch them is not good.

Plus, it's an anachronistic practice, in an age where you can watch credits everywhere on streaming services.

I’m not forcing anyone to, I’m just saying my personal opinion, and I’m glad that my CN rarely airs them, except for Gumball

streaming services which give you the option to skip the credits altogether and even the intro, but still

Sure, but nothing changes at the end of the day for a viewer, since credits can easily be "ignored".

I also find it more respectful to air them, since there's people working on products, who get overlooked too easily

Exactly, but at least you have a choice

CN PT cut credits from movies at launch

But they cut the ending to Doraemon 2005 (in the first airing it was full, then it was cut to a few seconds, then it jumped to the static LUK Internacional logo at the end)

Yo-Kai Watch was the only other show whose outro was cut on CN PT

 

[E-Scope]

I remember when CN UK cut out the credits of The Amazing World of Gumball for a while.

IIRC that happened once on CN PT in its infancy

CN UK (and EMEA) elongated the credits for Regular Show in order to fit in the ECP. For how many years now (I think post-2020), they've shown the normal credits, but as far as I can tell they put on the credits for one episode for every single one.

CN EMEA/HQ/Africa put longer credits from another episode to fit in

I assume the credits they had for every episode up until by that point was from the episode "Prank Callers" because that one has a longer credit roll compare to the others.

I think that was the one? It had different music in the credits

And Boing Spain Also cuts Credits?

Most times, I was told. Even Clan TVE cuts all credits
