Toasted TV

Toasted TV is an successor to the Australian children's television program Cheez TV, and airs on Eleven from 27 February 2012 on Weekdays from 6am to 9am, Saturdays from 6am to 7am and Sundays from 6am to 10am. It was formerly aired on Network Ten on 22 August 2005 until 25 February 2012. The show is hosted by Kellyn Morris and Seamus Evans. The show remains less popular than the original Cheez TV with complaints of lowering the age demographics with cartoons that only appeal to children under 10 years of age (unlike its predecessor which had a wider range of cartoons that appealed to all ages up to 14 years) as well as the controversial replacement of the 8am cartoon segment with less popular educational shows like Totally Wild and Scope.

The show targets an audience of 7- to 14-year-olds. The activities of the hosts are interspersed with cartoons and anime, such as Pokémon, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Beyblade Metal Fusion, SpongeBob SquarePants, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX), Penguins of Madagascar and Bakugan.

Premiering on 22 August 2005, it succeeded Cheez TV, and is produced in conjunction with Village Roadshow Theme Parks, the owner of Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild Water World. On 13 July 2012 to show changed to filming at Dreamworld. As of 2 July 2012, the show is shot in a studio.
