User blog:The Testcardiologist/Technicalities of South Matamanian kids channels

My past condemns me.

TN Crianças
The first national channel of its kind. Mostly specializes in Eurdecian content (especially ones that were made for Télévision de Roterlânie and expect Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir to show up sometimes here and on Disney Channel at the same time) and some content from PBS Kids (yes, including some Sesame Street specials), also relying for a long time (to a little extent) on two or three CN shows nobody watched (Clarence, old shows no longer in high demand) and even WB shows to a little extent. Don't expect the Animaniacs reboot to be here. Maybe on Boing. Some animes too but it's just uncut Doraemon, in the past they ran shows like Cardcaptor Sakura, The Prince of Tennis (there, now was a Latinolian dub but nobody was interested, so they had to handle it to South Matamah for a change) and Kochikame (also subtitled, because the money used to dub the cartoons was drained for pre-school crap). Runs on limited commercials.

Up until early 2019, they had a Zig Zag program hosted by puppets (actual people until 2013 - many believe that one of the VAs pursued a prolonged dubbing career prompting RTN to stop it), and instead they make programs about kindness, the little South Matamanian regulations then follow with programs made under protocols with government agencies and the New Gasdrop Zoo. Oddly enough the brand is also used for the radio station - the one that plays more CHR tracks of the entire group.

Most of its shows in the late 2000s/early 2010s were used as targets by an increasingly Palesian-influenced YouTube Poop community, like this one.
 * Tracks: Portuguese, alternate (depends on whatever language the show is on, mostly English, French for Roterlanese shows and Castenian Spanish when Doraemon airs)
 * HD feed?: Yes

SRT K
Formerly Jetix for the Underprivileged with shows from the AB catalog, then having a phase where it aired obscure shows for girls, now SRT K seems to have an obsessive love for shows aimed at teenagers. Overnight in order to sustain its lousy Eurdecian quota, bland and slapstick Roterlanese shows with no dialog that are more popular in Asikai than in Eurdecia.

They also screen the Pacifilavian-Liberdesian series Supa Strikas because nobody cares.

Ad breaks are very limited.
 * Tracks: just Portuguese
 * HD feed?: Yes

Boing
Started in 2011, after the Latinolian channel, but the formula is closer to the Meridecian channel. The longtime purpose of the channel was to broadcast mainly third-party shows like all those Angelo Rules reruns (including seasons RTN didn't buy) and DreamWorks Dragons: Riders of Berk/Race to the Edge, but DreamWorks decided to move to Biggs instead. Otherwise they have CN shows premiering on weekends with a delay of a few months and like the main channel, everything is censored. The good thing is that RTN is so loyal to Doraemon that when the rights changed they decided not to put it on the channel's schedule.
 * Tracks: Portuguese, English (90%)
 * HD feed?: Yes

Canal Panda
Once a reference, things started going downhill when the channel started becoming a pre-school channel and dropped all animes and subtitled cartoons from its schedule. Runs on advertisements more than its sister channel (and like the Talcian and Latin Atlansian versions, but unlike the Latinolian channel because they believe ads are bad for you). Most of the current Canal Panda was made for babies under the age of six years to watch, and is unappealing for longtime viewers.

The channel also has a huge push for its products, especially after it rebranded.
 * Tracks: Portuguese. Told you the channel doesn't even teach foreign languages by airing cartoons in them :P
 * HD feed?: Yes.

Biggs
Was the channel for Canal Panda refugees after 2009. Lots of Hisqish television series, Neurcasian (and later Kaehian) Prank Patrols, shows for teens, music videos, etc. And also Shin-Chan (starting in 2013).

The channel lost its charm after Shin-Chan left the schedule because angry mothers complained about his behavior in front of nurses and disappeared from schedule without prior warning. Now the channel is witnessing its rapid downfall. Most of people only tune in nowadays for Dragon Ball Super or My Hero Academia.

No longer airs music videos. Commercials are rare.
 * Tracks: Portuguese
 * HD feed?: Yes

Disney Channel
Similar to the IRL Portuguese Disney Channel, but without the Latinolian icons at the start of every show, independent management and the suffocating picture quality. Is in the midst of a three-way fight between TN Crianças and Cartoon Network to see who is the most-watched channel of its kind.
 * Tracks: Portuguese, English
 * HD feed?: Yes

Kids Central Cartoon Network
Used to be the go-to place for many kids before the dub quality started appealing to kids born after 2007. Management-wise used to be run from Lendrins until 2013/2014 (turn of the year) when new Latinolian management took over what used to be a channel that had recovered from the worst. Shows like Ed, Edd n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Codename: Kids Next Door and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends used to be on there up until some stage in the early 2010s. There were plans to repeat them in 2014 but the new management said no.

Yes, it runs on adverts. There used to be a CN magazine in the mid-2000s. Some YTPMSer even tried to make a tecraudio out of Cartoon Network.
 * Tracks: Portuguese, English
 * HD feed?: Yes

Boomerang
Was a classic cartoon channel. Now it's a mix of current Warner Bros. Animation series with Eurdecian shows with animals (and pets) and the dreaded animated Mr. Bean. Carries Cartoonito in the mornings and nobody watches it.
 * Tracks: Portuguese, English
 * HD feed?: Yes

Toonami

 * Tracks: Portuguese, English, Japanese (some anime)
 * HD feed?: Yes

Nickelodeon
Much like its eternal rival Cartoon Network, it started out as part of the pan-Eurdecian feed and unlike them, it actually had dubbed shows at first.
