When will Steven Universe return to CN MENA, CN Arabic and CN Turkey?

[zakawer2]

In October 2016, Turner Broadcasting System Europe's Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus division removed Steven Universe from the schedules of CN MENA (HD channel in English and Arabic on beIN in the Arab world), CN Arabic (Arabic-only free-to-air TV channel available on Nilesat and Arabsat Badr in the Arab world) and CN Turkey (Turkish-language Cartoon Network channel offered by TV operators in Turkey) for unknown reasons, and removed the show from their websites (cartoonnetworkme.com for CN MENA, cartoonnnetworkarabic.com for CN Arabic and cartoonnetwork.com.tr for CN Turkey). When will they begin airing the show again with new episodes? I've been waiting to see what the show has to offer us!

Update: It's May right now, and CN MENA, CN Arabic, and CN Turkey still haven't brought SU back. A big StevenBomb is coming up on CN USA in a few days, and right now could be the perfect time to bring SU back, airing the first three seasons in their entirety (save for a few banned episodes, naturally), followed by S4.1 in July then S4.2 in November.
If this is impossible, then I suggest bringing it back in June, July or August with reruns of the first three seasons in their entirety (save for a few banned episodes), then airing S4.1 in October or November (around the same time as the German-controlled CN feeds) followed by S4.2 in March or April next year.

Update 2: Now that it's September, I suggest that the show be brought back on October 10, 2017, and that a batch of new episodes (in the form of a Summer of Steven-esque event) begin on October 22nd on CN MENA, October 23rd on CN Turkey and December 3rd on CN Arabic, airing two new episodes back-to-back every day from the entire third and fourth seasons (including double-length episodes). Here's my proposal (which skips "Hit the Diamond" and "Onion Gang" in order to keep it consistent, especially for the double-length episodes; those two episodes will later be aired in reruns as well):

Spoiler: Proposed Season 3 and 4 air dates for CN MENA's possible StevenNuke

October 22nd ("Super Watermelon Island" - "Gem Drill")
October 23rd ("Same Old World" - "Barn Mates")
October 24th ("Steven Floats" - "Drop Beat Dad")
October 25th ("Mr. Greg" - "Too Short to Ride")
October 26th ("The New Lars" - "Beach City Drift")
October 27th ("Restaurant Wars" - "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service")
October 28th ("Monster Reunion" - "Alone at Sea")
October 29th ("Greg the Babysitter" - "Gem Hunt")
October 30th ("Crack the Whip" - "Steven vs. Amethyst")
October 31st ("Bismuth")
November 1st ("Beta" - "Earthlings")
November 2nd ("Back to the Moon" - "Bubbled")
November 3rd ("Kindergarten Kid" - "Know Your Fusion")
November 4th ("Buddy's Book" - "Mindful Education")
November 5th ("Future Boy Zoltron" - "Last One Out of Beach City")
November 6th ("Gem Harvest")
November 7th ("Three Gems and a Baby" - "Steven's Dream")
November 8th ("Adventures in Light Distortion" - "Gem Heist")
November 9th ("The Zoo" - "That Will Be All")
November 10th ("The New Crystal Gems" - "Storm in the Room")
November 11th ("Rocknaldo" - "Tiger Philanthropist")
November 12th ("Room for Ruby" - "Lion 4: Alternate Ending")
November 13th ("Doug Out" - "The Good Lars")
November 14th ("Are You My Dad?" - "I Am My Mom")

For CN Turkey, the "StevenNuke" should begin on October 23rd instead, and the "StevenNuke" should begin on December 3rd on CN Arabic. Additionally, new episodes beginning with "Stuck Together" should begin in June or July of 2018 on CN MENA and CN Turkey, and October 2018 on CN Arabic.

I will update the thread when more news happens pertaining to Steven Universe.

Unfortunately, They will not bring we tried to tell them and CN Arabia wrote on Facebook Page Of the channel, but they don't bring back and CN Africa (Formerly HQ) and all CN Version will reach to Season 3 and end Season 2 except Turkey. I missed the old Cartoon Network Pan Feed (Cartoon Network HQ) , they aired Steven Universe, Johnny Test and Yokai Watch but Tarek Mounir Cancelled Steven and removed it from the Arabic ,Turkish channel and the MENA Channel.
If I were the president CEO for CN MENA Region and EMEA, I would keep CN HQ and subtitle the channel instead of wasting money for dubbing programs and launching new channel and keep FTA Dubbing Channel (CN Arabia) broadcasting. Also, I would expell Tarek Mounir from work and bring Alan Musa back to his work or bring another president CEO for the channel.

There's already a thread available where you can freely discuss the international CN feeds and their practices, you might wanna check that out.

I know, but this thread is specifically about the absence of Steven Universe on CN MENA, CN Arabic and CN Turkey, and when it'll be back.

I would see it coming back maybe when the series is completely over so they can cut and change whate very they want to without causing huge plot holes

 

[zakawer2]

I'd rather see the show return before next summer, airing season 3 in its entirety as well as the first part of season 4.

 

[zakawer2]

I have updated the first post with new information, including my speculation for when SU returns.

 

[zakawer2]

It's been a while since I last posted in this thread. Even more speculation has been added.

 

[BlooMac]

It's likely the show will never return. Most EMEA feeds don't even air the show much, so not airing it all isn't an issue for Turkey, Arabic and MENA.

I don't really see a return likely, I've heard that some other shows have been removed around those areas because well of those countries. Speculation won't really help.

It's likely the show will never return. Most EMEA feeds don't even air the show much, so not airing it all isn't an issue for Turkey, Arabic, and MENA.

But the show still hasn't officially ended yet and is still airing new episodes across the EMEA region. Additionally, it was always an integral part of CN Arabic and CN Turkey's schedules since 2014 and aired on CN MENA during its first three months (CN MENA and Boomerang MENA were launched in July 2016). So removing the show in October 2016 led to Arab and Turkish SU fans suffering from an even longer hiatus than the current post-Wanted hiatus in the United States.

Additionally, CN UK started treating the show like garbage after Ian McDonough, head of Turner Northern Europe, resigned in April 2017; the May schedule, which is the first schedule since McDonough's resignation, is the first schedule of 2017 to exclude Steven Universe. The show hasn't been seen on CN UK's schedule for a while since airing new episodes from season 4.1 as part of Mega Mondays from June to August 2017. And when Pierre Branco was appointed to head Turner Northern Europe, the terrible treatment of the show didn't stop. It got worse. Fortunately, this poor treatment didn't affect CN Nordic as much.

The poor treatment by the CEE feeds is a bit different though and varies from feed to feed—with CN RSEE, CN CEE and CN Poland giving the worst treatment. Apparently, they think SU doesn't deserve much air time due to being plot-driven rather than episodic.

On the other hand, I think the Southern Europe and Africa feeds are doing great. However, CN Africa doesn't give the show daytime slots, and I think the last time RegularCapital mentioned new episodes of the show in CN Africa's highlights was in June 2016 (for season 3.1), despite the feed having aired additional new episodes ever since.
