Cartoon Network now Cartoonito in the Mornings?

[MarcB]

Apparently in the morning Cartoon Network is now running Pre-School Programs in a block called Cartoonito. I did a double take when I saw shows including Cailiou and Thomas and Friends on my on screen program guide. I tune to Cartoon Network and sure as skippy Cailiou was on. There was a Cartoonito logo in the corner of the screen. There were a few other Pre-School shows listed too. I know within the past few years Thomas and Friends switched from PBS/PBS Kids over to Nick Jr/Nick Jr on Nick block.

I know Cartoonito is on from 6am-2pm, but for the next 2 weeks, regular Cartoon Network programming is on from 2pm-8pm, and Adult Swim is on from 8pm-6am, this will all change on 9/27/21, when regular Cartoon Network programming will run from 2pm-9pm, and Adult Swim will run from 9pm-6am.

So is this going to be considered a third network for ratings purposes now?

Sounds like a new version of Calliope.

Caillou back on TV? Noooooo! I thought the fine folks in Canada got rid of television's most-brattiest child!
I guess Cartoon Network is trying to cash in on Nick Jr. and Disney Junior's continued success. But how many moms will tune it in for their 3-year-old, in this age of streaming and Netflix? It's not 2001 anymore.
