No, but pbs does have the broadcast rights

Ok, but I hope Treehouse TV picks up the rights, since Peg + Cat (Another 9 Story Show) aired on that channel

Aren't Rescue Heroes and Pearlie aimed at older kids

As far as I know, yeah, I think they’re aimed at older kids.

Aren't Rescue Heroes and Pearlie aimed at older kids

Pearlie was aimed at more or less the same audience that watches Care Bears, so that show could fit on Cartoonito. Rescue Heroes skewed a tad older (it aired on Kids' WB! for a time, and it was based on a line of toys aimed at grade school kids), but there wasn't anything hardcore or intensely violent in it, so it wouldn't be totally out of place on Cartoonito; RH was basically a slightly older skewing Paw Patrol starring humans.

The main issue surrounding both shows (aside from broadcasting rights) is that they've each been out of production for several years now; WB might not consider it worth their while to acquire them.

And besides, isn't it one of their shows for OLDER kids? It'd be like them airing Cyberchase

I think what's ironic is that i'm pretty sure Cartoon Network briefly aired Rescue Heroes. I may be wrong though

 

[superkeegan9100]

it aired on Kids' WB! for a time

It was also on Cartoon Network proper briefly in 2004, so yeah it wouldn't feel out of place.

Usually just like with Nick, they never reacquire rights to shows

 

[Tacomaster]

I still say Rescue Heroes would be out of place

 

[CartoonLover2604]

If only Cartoon Network would acquire the rights to some of the shows Qubo had and put them on Cartoonito, then that would be nice

To be honest, I doubt any of the classic Qubo shows will join Cartoonito. Pearlie, Rescue Heroes and Pecola are fairly obscure shows and just because CN had the rights to the latter two back in the 2000s, doesn't mean they'll reacquire them. That being said, the only two Qubo shows in general I could see Cartoonito picking up are Fireman Sam (it's very popular over on Cartoonito's UK channel) and Messy Goes to Okido (since HBO Max has the streaming rights).

The Qubo show that I could see Cartoonito picking up is Doki (Due to the WarnerMedia-Discovery Merger)

I want Cartoonito US to get the Syndication Rights to Nature Cat bc I believe Discovery Kids Latin America “which will become a sibling Cartoon Network US in 2022” airs it

PBS produced the show, remember? Nature Cat was produced by WTTW Chicago

Well what if Cartoonito gets Arthur after PBS loses it?

 

[Tacomaster]

PBS ain't losing Arthur. WGBH produces the show.

 

[CartoonLover2604]

PBS ain't losing Arthur. WGBH produces the show.

Besides, to my knowledge PBS distributes Arthur in the US so they’ll not losing the rights unless something happens with WildBrain (who I think currently owns Arthur).

So pretty much, 9Story owns the current seasons when it was animated in flash while WildBrain owns the older seasons?

I believe that banner's locally generated. I don't recall seeing it on KSPX-TV.
