Eh, it was the late 80's. I remember a cartoon for Rude Dog and the Dweebs, and Space Cats, who got their orders from the Great D.O.R.C (the Disembodied Omnipotent Ruler of Cats). And that was just on broadcast, cable was even weirder...

Kind of an addition/update to the state of some FAST Streaming Channels:
Warner Discovery launched a slate of FAST channels on Roku and Amazon/Freevee. Here's the gist from a Roku announcement, but Amazon appears to have the same stuff:

Roku

Roku provides the simplest way to stream entertainment to your TV. On your terms. With thousands of available channels to choose from.

Earlier this year, they launched WB TV Cartoon Rewind, featuring many of the same slate of low tier shows that populate the MeTV Toons selection. Right now, I'm enjoying Centurions, but other shows noted include Beetlejuice, Police Academy, Mr T, and Silverhawks. Challenge of the Gobots will be cycling in later at 0143 AM CST

While a wiki, seems to be on point with additional details. WBTV hasn't launched as a full service, and it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't since it doesn't really cost WB anything to dump "channels" of old content on other FAST/Linear streaming providers.

WB TV

WBTV (abbreviation of Warner Bros. TV) is an upcoming American free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service and brand name owned and operated by Warner Bros. Discovery Broadcasting and FAST Group. WBTV-branded networks officially launched on February 1, 2023 on the FAST service Tubi...

Nice! Just turned it on. Where are you seeing a schedule? I can't seem to find one.

Nice! Just turned it on. Where are you seeing a schedule? I can't seem to find one.

On the Freevee app, I selected my channel/show/feed and below the “watch now” button, they have the next several hours listed out. As far as I can find, NONE of these FAST streaming providers have a full blown, extended schedule for viewing.

I’ll also say this: a lot of these guys are jive for finding content. The sheer volume made it impossible to find anything you weren’t already looking for. Roku, FreeVee, can’t find hardly anything.
PlutoTV has a good setup, but performance can be wonky and they have a LOT more ads.
FreeVee through the Amazon website isn’t terrible, but there are several categories (like kids stuff) that aren’t well curated.
TubiTV has a really nice setup with everything in appropriate sections, but they don’t have the volume of content the other two have.

Edit: The Amazon Prime Video app works much like the website, including access to ALL the FreeVee content. While my criticisms of curation remain, it remains more manageable than the FreeVee app and shows an extended schedule. Again, only a few hours, but easier to see than under the FreeVee app.

Thanks, I'll try that. I've already been using Pluto and Tubi a lot, but am new to FreeVee.

I did check the channel again this morning before heading off to work and it was, indeed, showing Gobots. Thank you for the heads up!

I’d almost bet they are just going through entire series runs and then cycling to another show.

Seems like it. I watched several episodes over the course of the evening, which was great, but there didn't seem to be any sign of the flood of Gobots stopping anytime soon. Would love to have the series On Demand, but this is a nice little shot of nostalgia.

Aaaaand Amazon is shutting down Freevee. Well, I guess I got a couple few weeks of enjoyment out of it.

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Freevee content will remain available under Amazon's Prime Video App. You'll just have to have an Amazon account (not necessarily Prime, I don't think) to access the channels.

Ah, well that wouldn't be so bad, then. I don't have Prime, but I do have an Amazon account.
