It is worth noting that ABS currently airs the show in the US via a worldwide in-the-clear satellite simulcast of our Japanese channel, in addition to a select few dedicated affiliates in the US ("ABS America"). However, our terrestrial television station network is still very new, has very limited coverage, and is only reaching to a select few cities as of currently. I'm wondering if you could help out in the FTA field by putting Doraemon on your schedule.

But here's the question - the infamous Disney-commissioned English dub was cancelled over a year ago, meaning that you'll have to use the TV Asahi/ABS Japanese version. Subtitles will be included. If popularity or demand exists, we may commission an English audio track. Some content may be cut to meet guidelines - it is a family show, after all.

This is yet to be approved - we'll need some time (and a bit more discussion) to do that.

I meant a region-specific license (USA in my case). So, if RBC has demand for it and if it is approved, then it will start airing on RBC soon. A RBC cable channel called JapanChannel will start soon, which will air the Japanese version. The Engilsh dub commisioned by RBC, LLC. will be made after RBC sees demand.
