My list is slightly long

Animax India - during launch i miss its Hindi dub feed shows of Daigunder , Cardcaptor sakura , Captain Tsubasa & Ranma Half, ( sometimes same used to come as segment in SET ..they stopped airing hindi dub in 2005-2006 in between. ( captain tsubasa was inspirational )
after that in while it didnt came in cable when it came after few years it started only in english dub then it went in cable. after some years i got back in cable enjoyed fr few years in english dub & first time learned to watch with subtitle in japenese anime series. cool thing about them it is animated series but with action and the music even if you dont understand the language makes you start humming the song. then sadly they replaced channel abruptly :(

Old Cartoon Network India- shows were diverse, made me think to shift hotels if there was no cn in that cable in that hotel XD, got late in my cable used to watch all shows, mostly hindi dub english was not good in starting. Toonami block was so cool the graphics , and animated series was action packed. used to confuse transformers prime with electric transformers in science class, originally cn used to have Tiny tv later they shifted to pogo. even if they used to air reairing on morning & night. i used to watch akl repeat airings, pokemon , naruto..beyblade , digimon, static shock , justice league,teen titans, Ben10 etc. tom jerry kids show,. CN reach & beyblade populariuty made me buy so many beyblades and fight tournaments
before cn came in cable used to enjoy watching cn segment in ZEE TV ( samurai jack , ppg , dexter lab , Scooby Doo)

Pogo- my cable i gues didnt liked kids added it so late ..only maanged to see it in my grandmas home in another city- M.A.D show other classmates used to watch , then when added watched mirmo , hagemaru, blazing teens ( chinese show based yoyo like bitbeast power) ended up buying yoyo..film block , harry potter movie airings in holidays ..jhakaas zarrori .. then it turned into stuopid toon channel few yrs later :(

My grandmother hated it. Every hour her movies got interrupted with news. Meanwhile 6 pm news show had amazing theme.
ETV News was shown every hour for 5 minutes on ETV Bangla. At 6am and 6pm there was a 30-minute news show, Aamar Bangla.
