DID THIS-TV REVAMP THEIR MORNING NON-MOVIE SCHEDULE ?

I'm not a regular viewer but it looks as if they have changed some shows around.
Here is their non-movie schedule this week (Eastern daylight time).

I'd like to see them move their 10/11AM and Noon/1PM movies
to 4 or 5AM. Start kiddie cartoons/shows at 8AM and then have a
retro block at 10AM. That would move these shows to a better time
when people could actually watch them. They might as well just
take these shows off and insert two more movies IMO.

Wow, This is airing a lot more E/I programming than they really need to... "Gadget Boy's Adventures In History" - you'd think it's an E/I offering based on a) the title alone, and b) I have never heard of it. Oh, is "Gadget Boy" related to "Inspector Gadget"?

My local ThisTV affiliate (WFGX-TV) does not broadcast most of those programs listed above except for "The Outer Limits" due to its affiliations with MyNetworkTV and Jewelry Television and its syndicated programming. I could not see "Heathcliff" at 6:00 AM Central time since ThisTV started broadcasting the series due to the station broadcasting "Enjoying Everyday Life with Joyce Meyer" at the time and I may not be able to see "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" when ThisTV presents it every Monday through Friday beginning on September 26th.

I would not use the phrase "kiddie cartoons/shows" to describe the programs featured during the "This is for Kids" and "Cookie Jar Toons" programming blocks. Advertisers and programmers may say otherwise, but these programs should appeal to more than just young children since they were created by adults.
 
"Start kitty cartoons/shows at 8AM and then have a retro block at 10AM. That would move these shows to a better time when people in or adjacent to the Eastern time zone could actually watch them."

Fixed.

You do realise that 0800-1000 Eastern is 0500-0700 out here, do you not? By the time the last programme is rolling its credits, most (half-way) rational people are likely just barely getting out of bed.
