Noggin around the clock

Starting with the last day of 2007, Noggin will move to a 24 hour format as it splits with The N!. For fans fo The N!, that will go to a 24 hour format as well on it’s own channel. The move puts Noggin head to head with PBS Sprout as they pursue kiddies-after-dark (that sounds bad now that I reread it).
To kickoff the move Noggin has some new programming planned for New Year’s Eve including a 90 minute Franklin movie.
- 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. (ET) “Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure” (*TV Premiere)
- 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. (ET) “Dora Saves the Mermaids”
- 8:30 – 9:00 p.m. (ET) “Save the Wonder Pets!”
- 9:00 – 10:30 p.m. (ET) “Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure”
- 10:30 – 11:00 P.M. (ET) “Great Jaguar Rescue”
In “Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure,” Franklin is on a holiday break from school when he receives a surprise visit from his Aunt Lucy, an explorer whose specialty is finding archaeological treasures. This family reunion gives Franklin’s Granny the chance to relive her own childhood. When she mentions a box filled with treasures that she buried at Turtle Lake as a child, Franklin is intrigued. When Granny falls ill and Aunt Lucy remembers a talisman that was hidden in the famous box, a treasure hunt becomes extremely important. Franklin decides immediately to hunt for this remedy which could save his grandmother. His friends Beaver and Bear accompany him, with Aunt Lucy and her goddaughter Samantha, a headstrong little turtle with whom Franklin has a hard time contending with. It’s a difficult journey, but Franklin is ready to do anything to help Granny and it also gives him the chance to make new friends.

Looks like Noggin and N still have some things to work out. I promised my little girl that she could watch the Franklin movie at 6:00 PM on Noggin. After about 15 minutes, Noggin was cut off and N started with Fresh Prince. She was extremely disappointed and I got to spend about an hour of New Years Eve consuling my 3 yeard old. Looks like someone at Noggin did not use their noggin.

Same thing happened here. My four year old was VERY disappointed. They have not re-shown the Franklin movie yet and he keeps asking about it! Still have the Noggin/N split.

Sounds like both of you have Dish Network. Unfortunately, they didn’t split up the networks properly, apparently feeling it wasn’t in their contract. It was the final straw for me — I dumped them and switched to DirecTV.
