As Dreamers Do Part Deux

Starting in 2001, NASCAR will split its TV contract between CBS, Fox and ESPN.
CBS and Fox will share the Daytona 500. This means Fox will show it in odd-numbered years while CBS gets to show it in even numbered years. For example, CBS will have the Pepsi 400 in 2001 while Fox gets the Daytona 500. In 2002, it'll be Daytona 500 on CBS and Pepsi 400 on Fox. Makes sense?
Great Idea!
 
Oh, and one more question: Would this sort of moment remain intact in Casper and Molly McGee? I'm just asking that because it would hold even more weight with Casper as her ghostly best friend:
Not quite. Around this period IOTL was when the major networks were getting ready to phase out the classic Saturday morning blocks.
Okay. That makes sense to me.
Seth MacFarlane voices Scratch. Pepper Ann is in reruns and Recess moved to the Disney Channel.
Okay, that makes a lot of sense for all three answers.
 
Question submitted by @Mitch!
In what ways should Carmen Sandiego be represented, at the Disney Parks, in the near future?

Answer: Most likely with an ACME Crime Land, a mini-land similar to OTL's Avengers Campus.

1: Where would ACME Crime Lind be located?
2: How does Warner Bros. feel about not being the only company to have an ACME brand in the conglomerate's library?

I wasn't sure if Warners actually owns a trademark on ACME IOTL.

Also IOTL, WB didn't seem to raise any ruckus over Broderbund's use of Acme in the Carmen franchise.

On the one hand, it's debatable if ACME is a trademarked brand, considering the many different ways the company has shown up in the context of Wile E. Coyote's claim to fame.

On the other hand, if WB really did have a grudge against Disney, I can assure you there would be a trademark laid out to prevent future usage of the word post-2000. This would mean that Disney would technically be safe, but only under legal loopholes that could be exploited for such reasons and intents.

Can you tell I'm looking forward to the Coyote vs. Acme film coming soon?
 
The Infancy of High Definition Television in North America
The Infancy of High Definition Television in North America

HDTV, just like OTL, had its humble beginnings in the United States in 1998. However, the US wasn't the first country to adopt HDTV, as it already had been the standard in Japan since the 1980's.

ITTL, Fox affiliate KSPO in Spokane, Washington became the first local station to implement an HD signal at a time when most homes still had standard def TV sets.

The first HD sports telecast on an experimental basis was a regular season NBA showdown between the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks from Madison Square Garden. The game was shown nationwide on April 2, 1998 on TNT. On January 30, 2000, the first championship game to be presented in high definition was Super Bowl XXIV between the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Oilers on ABC.

The first awards show presented in HD was the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, which were held on September 9, 1999, hence the "9.9.99" logo.

Microsoft is currently developing technology in collaboration with Comcast to bring UPN into the Hi-Def era with HD programming starting sometime in 2002.

Kim Possible, The Proud Family and the third season of Casper and Molly McGee will each be Disney's first animated series produced for HDTV in 2002.

If you are wondering, Magical Doremi moved to the main Nickelodeon channel after episode 26 (77th overall) of the second season (I know it’s called Sharp, but they never adopted any season name changes and just call it Magical Doremi for less confusion and it’s was much easier for marketing)
ITTL, Fox affiliate KSPO in Spokane, Washington became the first local station to implement an HD signal at a time when most homes still had standard def TV sets.
The first markets with HD broadcasts are New York, Chicago, Spokane, Dallas/Fort Worth, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, and Detroit. I also need a check on the O&Os for the major networks.
