Yep, The UK version was part owned by International Family Entertainment, the U.S. version was wholly owned by IFE. In Canada, it was founded by Allarcom and
First Choice Canadian Communications.

The Canadian Family Channel had no connection to the UK/USA version.

Family Channel is officially shutting down. Its owner, WildBrain, announced it will cease broadcasting its Canadian TV channels (including Family Jr., WildBrainTV, and Télémagino) due to a carriage dispute with Rogers and Bell.

Portugal had a pan-Euro variation of the UK feed between 1999-2001, even after that it was in English (although completely different to the UK version) until 2013 which was when it became available in Portuguese. Are you sure it was Sky?, I can understand a British bar having Sky for the sport.

And that’s a wrap. Special guest Basil Brush gave the Final Word this year to remind us all of the importance of nostalgia.

A big thanks to everyone who made this year’s conference possible.

See you all next year! Boom! Boom!

@animactionpod.bsky.social Interesting that you've chosen Memoir of a Snail for your next review as it will be available on Hulu in the U.S. on 29th July. Watched it last year at MAF, it's quite a film! press.hulu.com/schedule/jul...
