Here’s the news that my UK friends have all been waiting for – Transformers Prime is going to finally start airing on UK television from 5 September. It is going to be on Cartoon Network, whose track record with Transformers shows in the UK has been less than stellar.
That gripe out the way, enjoy UK fans! It’s due to start 5 September, time of day still TBD, let’s hope we get a decent timeslot. Cue up your TiVo / SkyPlus and get ready to experience the awesome!

lol I was gonna mentioned that in my last post XD Tesco also sponsored MLP FIM so, I think there might be a deal with Hasbro????? I dont think Tesco sponsor any other cartoon programs to my knowledge apart from the two Hasbro cartoons.

Was it only me when it said 'Sponsored by Tesco'?

Cartoon network HD in the UK is happening some time this month along with thundercats 2011 in the UK:
Cartoon Network HD to launch next month – Broadcasting News – Digital Spy
no news on virgin adding CN HD anytime soon
also a reminder, Prime is getting aired in the UK today. Yes! Just out of random interest, between the start of every episode of MLP FIM and when it goes for advert breaks its actually says its sponsored by Tesco. At least they know there demographic people no other program on Boomerang program has that. wonder if TF prime will have something similar.

Jack's skill is being a freaking thief.
Silas' cellphone anyone?

These special human skills?
Raph does help Ratchet fix his PC from time to time. Jack plays the harmonica and serves burgers. Oh and Miko… err… eats sugar and causes trouble.
Fort Max
What skills are these?

Thanks Sol Fury. Appreciate it
I have to be a bit patient with my normal sky EPG. it does take forever to load up some pages but I did get it to show the listing:
Apparently the other Hasbro program MLP FIM, is now on at 3PM instead of 7 in the morning.

Damn, I've been checking for the time but Sky + has an incredibly crap TV guide that refuses to even show me the listing for something a week in the future.

Virgin Media have recently started supplying Tivo over here. It's actually a damn fine service. Saw it round a friends and it actually tempted me to switch over.

baggzey23

Does Cartoon Network have an HD channel??
If not, then that'll suck. But I shall still record it.

Transformers as a brand is as hot as it's ever likely to be so it's disappointing that a terrestrial station hasn't picked up the show.
The bigger the audience the bigger the market for the toys.

I notice it's repeated at 8pm on CNToo.
