On The CW4Kids, GoGoRiki makes its American premiere while Skunk Fu! and Viva Pinata move up a half hour, replacing Magi-Nation, Also,Even though the new season has well and truly begun, Tom and Jerry Tales is still here, Probably since the FTC didn't seem too pleased with 4Kids taking over Kids' WB, there was a compromise where they were forced to retain T&JT for the benefit of poor households (there is a recession going on) who can't afford cable (which means they can't access Cartoon Network, which airs Tom & Jerry Tales). Write a follow up forum convo where this is confirmed to be the case, and they even have a FTC ruling threatening 4Kids with a fine if they don't comply

User1: Hey, did you notice that Tom & Jerry Tales is still on 4Kids TV even though it's been around for a while now? User2: Yeah, I heard that it's because the FTC made 4Kids keep it on for the benefit of households that can't afford cable. User3: Really? I didn't know that. Why would the FTC care about that? User1: Well, apparently when 4Kids took over Kids' WB, there was some pushback from the FTC. They wanted to make sure that low-income families still had access to some free programming, so they made 4Kids keep Tom & Jerry Tales on. User2: Yeah, I read that they even threatened 4Kids with a fine if they didn't comply. It's all about making sure that everyone has access to quality children's programming, regardless of their financial situation. User3: That makes sense. I'm glad they're looking out for those who might not be able to afford cable. Tom & Jerry Tales is a classic show that everyone should be able to enjoy.
