Katie and Orbie - Airing

Airing

  • Canada: Family since its premiere in 1994, still airing as of 2012.
  • Playhouse Disney (2007–May 6, 2011)
  • Disney Junior (May 6, 2011–present)

Both channels only show the series during a graveyard slot, when many children are asleep. Presumably, the show is still aired on those channels in order to fulfill the Canadian content rules. In both channels, only the fifth and sixth seasons are in active rotation. Until 2008, Family aired all 78 episodes in rotation.

  • The show was also aired in 2006-2008 on broadcast network CTV.
  • United States: PBS (1996–1997); Playhouse Disney (1997–2000). The airing rights for the show were acquired by PBS during 1995, and it premiered in PBS stations on January 28, 1996, becoming the second animated show to air on PBS (The Magic School Bus was the first), however it was dropped off PBS in early 1997, at the time it was picked up by Disney Channel to be aired on its new Playhouse Disney block until September 2000. It has not been seen on any US channel since then, however it could be seen on CBeebies, as the channel is available inside the USA on the Spanish Mexico package of Dish Network, channel 848. Seasons 4-6 remain unseen in the US.
  • Latin America: CBeebies (2008–2010) This Spanish version, dubbed in Mexico, is narrated by Mexican voice actor Alejandro Villeli, with voice actress Leyla Rangel singing the theme song and narrating the Did You Know? segments. The channel aired the episodes in order, Monday to Friday; on weekends, repeats of the episodes aired on Monday and Tuesday were shown. From June 2009 until its removal, the channel reran the episodes shown on Friday the following Monday. The full run of 78 episodes was shown four times (with the first 67 episodes airing a fifth time before its removal). The channel aired the show only in the evenings at 8:30 pm and later 9:30 pm (although from August–December 2008, it also aired on weekend afternoons). The show was suddenly removed from CBeebies on April 12, 2010 and replaced by Mama Mirabelle's Home Movies. It has not been shown in the region since then. Is also the only version to have all 78 episodes dubbed.
  • Malaysia: Astro Ria (early 2000s). Dubbed into Malay by Filem Karya Nusa.
  • Australia: ABC Television (1990s–early 2000). Despite the series being removed from the schedule after January 2000, the program list on the channel's website still included the series until 2011. ABC lost the broadcasting rights to the series in 2006.
  • United Kingdom: The series was seen on Nickelodeon UK as early as June 1994. Apparently, it also aired on Channel 4 and Disney Channel during the 1990s.
  • Spain: An Iberian Spanish dub of the show exists, it aired on 2000 on a digital channel called Club Super 3 which was part of a now-defunct platform called Via Digital. Presumably, only the first 39 episodes were dubbed, as they were made before 2000.
  • A French version also exists, but no information is known about what channels have aired it. Apparently, only seasons 3–5 were dubbed. A 5-disc DVD set has been released in France
  • A Portuguese version of the series exists, titled Hugo e Catarina.

Famous quotes containing the word airing:

    The young are just as opinionated as the old, but have more exciting things to do than sit around airing their opinions all day.
