Write a very nice polite e-mail to Teletoon asking them to consider putting Fosters back in their lineup, from the link I posted in the opening post XP

Oh no, this is awful, horrible news!! I may not be Canadian (although my paternal-grandparents were both from Nova Scotia), but I love my neighbors so I'll send Teletoon a friendly email asking them to put the show back on. I mean, c'mon, we at least deserve an explanation!

Okay, done. 100 people have now been spammed.

So it's come to this has it? Looks like I'm going to have to send ol' Telletoon a polite letter about Fosters disappearance from their station. But each type of the keyboard will be filled with disappointment.
I'm thinking they may have just put Fosters on hiatus until they can finally grab some new episodes to air. But that could just be wishful thinking on my part.

Nope your pretty right on that I just got a reply from them!

Hi Nicky,

Thanks for taking the time to write to us with your comments. We appreciate receiving feedback from our viewers.

Unfortunately Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is not currently part of the TELETOON lineup. Please know that our decision to change a schedule or to remove a series from our line-up is not an easy one. There are a number of reasons why a show might be taken off the air. Often times a series will be removed for a season or two, and will return to the schedule at a later time. In order to improve TELETOON and to please our growing population of viewers, we are always in the process of acquiring new shows for our network. Therefore, some of our older shows need to be taken off the air to give a chance to new shows to carve out a place in the wonderful world of animation! And finally, in many cases, the license has expired for a series and we are no longer allowed to air it. In the case of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, the series is taking a short break but should return to the lineup at a later date

Thanks again for your message!

Sincerely,

JULIE BENOIT
Audience Relations Coordinator, TELETOON
Coordonnatrice, Relations auprès de l'auditoire, TÉLÉTOON

Well there we go, now we HAVE an answer! It's not that bad as she says it will be back, but I still think we should nudge them a bit so they know the show is still popular. We don't want them to turn around and change their minds!

So all in all, I'm fairly happy. Sure I'll miss having Foster's on my TV (Apart from DVD's) but to know it will come back in a season (or two ._. I don't know if can stand that...) and we -can- still download them for our American buddies here. It won't be the same, but hopefully everyone has a connection or enough hard drive space that can handle it.

But really, what impresses me here is how quick they replied! Both Teletoon and YTV (I e-mailed them a bit ago about a Avatar: TLAB mix up) have upped their audience relations department! I remember in the old days you'd e-mail them and -maybe- get a reply five months latter and when you get it you forgot you sent it in the first place.

I'm impressed, both with the speed of the reply and the fact that they replied at all. American networks could take a lesson from this.

Way to go on the reply, Subzeroace! I'm surprised that they gave you a timely, informative, and personal reply. I can't wait to see the one they send me. But I'm glad to hear that they haven't turned their back on Fosters.

[Lynnie]

Yeah, I hope some of the American networks follow in their footsteps. That was a very well written, frank yet light hearted reply. Kudos to them for being so swift in sending it, too. Hope you guys won't have to wait too long for its return. But at least it looks like it's coming back. That much is good.

Yeah....the thing they'll learn is to RESPOND, and if to respond, not a BOT message that has nothing to do with anything.

my buddy wrote to a senator about Constitutional infringements and the letter he got back was something like this:

sincerely,
Senator Hillary Clinton
