This could hopefully be the key that will make YTV run anime again, and make anime once again as popular as it once was in North Amercia. Dragon Ball/Z/GT were major successes for YTV and Cartoon Network. Airing Dragon Ball Kai, can bring anime viewers back to YTV, and regain YTV's confidence in anime.

I enjoyed watching the weekday evening runs of Dragonball Z. YTV needs to do something like that again to get people interested in anime. Although given their current "Nick North" model I doubt that will happen, especially since they just canceled the last remnants of Bionix.

I caught a couple of episodes of DB Kai and it was interesting to see the revamped approach to the show, although I didn't feel it worth the bother to download the show after having seen almost every episode of the long version already.

Besides, I suspect Funimation is going to run this series online.

But the Dragon Ball series is very popular in both Canada and America. Wouldn't Funi want to air it on TV.

Just because they would want to run it doesn't necessarily mean that a TV station will want to air it.

There isn't enough new content in Kai for me seeing it getting a mainstream television broadcast. That said, the show is perfect for television. It's a well known property reborn in a tv-friendly edit available in both SD, and HD feeds at either 4:3, or 16:9 aspect ratios, as well as a fixed run of around 100 episodes (latest rumor puts it at 99). Funimation can use it as a loophole so that they can broadcast the series on their own channel, as Cartoon Network still has broadcast, and online rights to DragonBall Z.
