When it Will Air is Still a Mystery

We are at the onset of upfront season in the television industry, the time when broadcast and cable network entice current and potential advertisers with the shows they will serve viewers in the Fall and beyond.  Today, it was cable network Cartoon Network’s turn to dish on their slate of programming, and in doing so, the network confirmed Boom will be on the schedule for the 2014/15 television season.

When it will air, however, is still not known.  The release CN disseminated today, relayed by Deadline.com, didn’t offer any clues.  Instead, this passage suggests a timeframe concurrent or close to the game’s release:

Sonic Boom™: Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the world’s biggest gaming icons for over 20 years and this year a new branch of the Sonic universe debuts, entitled Sonic Boom™. With a new look for Sonic and friends, the franchise’s first-ever CG animated television series, an action-packed comedy adventure, will premiere on Cartoon Network with support from an extensive video game release of the same name. The Sonic Boom television series, coproduced by SEGA® of America, Inc. and OuiDO! Productions, will debut on Cartoon Network in the 2014/2015 season.

When the Sonic Boom TV series was first officially announced in October, Sega pegged it for air in the Fall. (It’s worth reminding that we exclusively brought you news of Boom last June.)  The company has since backtracked on those initial remarks.
