Tenchi on Cartoon Network Update

Hollywood Reporter has stated that Tenchi Muyo will premiere on Cartoon Network at 4:30 PM, July 3. This contradicts an early statement that the series would be given the 5:30 time spot currently held by Gundam Wing. Cartoon Network has traditionally regarded 5:30 as a highly desirable time spot and used it to introduce new shows. The fact that this article is reporting that Tenchi will be shown at 4:30 may indicate that Gundam Wing is doing very well for Cartoon Network at 5:30.

The cable network also announced that it would be airing ten original series pilots over the summer, three of which will become regular series. The pilots will begin airing Friday nights at 9pm starting June 9. Viewers will get a chance to vote on which pilot they liked best during the August 25-27 “Voice Your Choice Weekend.”
