Actually, Oh Canada has been on for a long time. At least a couple
years. I don't think cartoon network has any intention of getting rid
of it. Judging by some of the stuff on the channel, I don't think they
are too concerned with their ratings beyond the Cartoon Cartoon lineup.
Also, although the animation commisioned by the National Film Board of
Canada is really cool, I don't think it really has as much to do with
BoC as other stuff issued by NFBoC. However, if you like the stuff,
try to check out "The Big Snit". It got nominated for the oscar one
year and is on some Canadian animation collection you can rent at your
local video store.
Ok... sorry for getting carried away with off topic stuff. I'm a total
nerd when it comes to animation.
