GO! has been great for cartoon series, Nine can finally shown all the cartoon series & movies from Cartoon Network/Warner Bros, which they get through their network deal.
GO! is my favorite multichannel for that reason, the only channel to still offer a decent variety of new cartoon titles.
@Johnny1P5 – that is my understanding (but haven’t looked into it for a while). Main channels and anti-siphoned sport will be SD for a bit longer because some people bought SD-only STBs and the govt is wary of losing votes if people suddenly can’t get/find Today Tonight or A Current Affair. Personally, I would consider that to be a useful service…
The questions they didn’t answer were N/A.
Go! also has the first run rights to Nikita and Spartacus. But they are not significant enough to rate a mention.
But then most of the TV I watch is on as a by-product of the perverse way the FTA industry works.
The only question that was N/A was the HD question for GO!
