THE FATE OF BATMAN BEYOND ON CANADIAN TELEVISION:
My co-editor Dick Grayson e-mailed YTV last week regarding the
absense of Batman Beyond from the YTV schedule. We got a response, and
here's what they had to say:
"'Batman Beyond' is not part of our current
schedule. We are sorry if this is disappointing for you to hear.
We hope you can understand that it is not uncommon for television stations
to move some programs to another day or time, introduce new shows, temporarily remove programs, or cancel shows with expired contracts.
It is important to remember that all schedules are subject to change without
notice.
"With this said, your comments have been forwarded to our
Programming Department for future consideration. Please keep in mind that
although we do try to make all of our viewers happy, as a national network,
it can be quite a challenging task."
Maybe it is just gone temporarily - they are under contract to
air all 52 episodes at least twice. However, if you don't want to take any
chances and encourage them to bring it back, e-mail them, Canadian
viewers!
Anyhow, the original BTAS series is still airing, and it will
be shown as follows:
NEXT WEEK:
Mon 11-13-00: BTAS #94 Love is
a Croc
Tue 11-14-00: BTAS #95 Torch
