It also ran on TruTV for a short time.

I don’t think it’s gaining traction here, and I don’t think it ever will. For one, a lot of their shows are or have been on streaming services for a while before their e4 debut. Second, there are significant cultural differences between us and America. We tend to go to sleep earlier than they do. Late night TV has rarely worked here, even on the PSBs.


Thats not entirely true, ITV had some success with late night broadcasting back in the 80s


There was considerably less competition back then though.


And they wern’t joined by competition until December 1996 when Channel 4 went 24/7. They’d have no ratings at 3am today, especially with the rise of streaming.

I remember Dragonball Z (90s dub) on Cartoon Network but briefly remember the other spin off on Toonami but have never been repeated since either (yet strange why Cartoon Network can’t air them?), there is probably more content that can be aired but choose not to air them (or very least Channel 4 it’s on All4)

I believe POP already have the rights to the Dragonball series in the UK.

Hi Jgdsgh.

I don't know if you've heard of an YT user called "Applemask" (real name of Matthew Harris) but he has over the last few years made some truly superb videos about ITV presentation (as well as BBC and C4) under the series name "ITV In The Face". One video specialised on looking at ITV's night time efforts:
