Speaking of "marketing the show as something it's not", we're now hesitant to call it a "family comedy". After all, Doraemon's main demographic is children over the age of 7 (but of course it has its older fans). Despite this marketing shift, ABS America is willing to keep its Saturday/7:30pm spot.

This does not affect RBC's position regarding the show. That's up to you to decide. RBC's position will change to a "7+" show, and will play on Mondays at 7 AND on RBC Kids (timeslots being SatAM, Sunday afternoon (2-5 pm) and Weekdays at 5 pm). "The chart" plays a role in a lot of things (like the decay of The Weather Channel, which added reality shows) and can make or break (looking at you G4) a network. Guessing that G rating is becoming a Y7.

Three episodes a week? We'd complain, but a lot of kids shows run like that. After all, it's your network, so you choose how you want to run the show.

What do you mean by "the chart"?

ABS has had a small amount of network decay of its own, but it's a major shift that fits. Originally intended solely to transmit Japanese TV Asahi and NTV programmes subtitled in English for expats living in Japan, it has since evolved into a multicultural network that has a variety of Japanese, Korean, East Asian and Western programmes that benefits both Japan's English-speaking expat community, and those interested in East Asian culture worldwide. ABS Television has become a "cultural ambassador" of sorts. TWC and G4, on the other hand...
