ITV has announced details of its new weekend breakfast show for children.

Scrambled!, which will begin to air on Saturdays and Sundays later this month, will feature Citv programming and will be hosted by four young presenters.

In the style of previous hit brands such as Live and Kicking and Sm:tv Live, Scrambled will include both scripted programming - such as Almost Naked Animals, VicTORIous, Horrid Henry, Deadtime Stories and Bottom Knocker Street - and sketches, games and chat.

It will be presented by Freshly Squeezed's Laura Jackson, Cbbc star London Hughes, The Voice UK online host Luke Franks and 4Music's Sam Homewood.

Children will also be encouraged to interact with Scrambled by sending in photographs and videos.

Scrambled! begins on January 18 and will air between 7.30am and 9.25am on ITV and Citv.

Cartoon Network has announced its new and returning shows for 2013, and there are some terrific looking shows coming our way. Unfortunately, two favorites are not on the list. More about that below. First the new programming, which includes a redesigned and re-imagined CG-animated special starring The Powerpuff Girls; two new action-adventure half-hour series based on heroes from DC Comics, Teen Titans Go! and Beware The Batman; and from Lego, three quarterly installment specials of CG-animated The Yoda Chronicles.

Here are the pertinent portions of the press release:

Cartoon Network New Series

Steven Universe: Slated to debut in 2013, Steven Universe is a coming-of-age story told from the perspective of Steven, the youngest member of a team of magical Guardians of the Universe. The animated series was conceived as part of the shorts development initiative at Cartoon Network Studios, and is created by Emmy® and Annie Award-nominated writer and storyboard artist Rebecca Sugar...

Cartoon Network has revealed their 2013-2014 TV show lineup today and, much to the dismay of fans, confirmed that that “Green Lantern: The Animated Series” and “Young Justice” have been canceled. While this may not come as the biggest surprise for the “Young Justice” viewers who paid attention to both the series’ hiatus and subsequent cancellation of its comic book counterpart, the news certainly comes as a blow for fans. Together with the end of “Green Lantern: The Animated Series”, this leaves only “Beware the Batman” and “Teen Titans Go” as the remaining DC Nation shows, both of which have yet to premiere on the network.

While the absence of the shows didn’t necessarily cement the cancellation of the series, Giancarlo Volpe, the showrunner for “Green Lantern: Tas” confirmed the news via his Twitter stating, “This time we knew. They just didn’t want us to announce it publicly until they did.

Cartoon Network has announced more than 20 new and returning TV series for their 2013-14 season. They include Incredible Crew, Steven Universe, Uncle Grandpa, Clarence, Teen Titans Go!, Beware the Batman, Total Drama, Legends of Chima, Grojband, The Tom and Jerry Show, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Annoying Orange, Mad, The Amazing World of Gumball, The Looney Tunes Show, Ben 10 Omniverse, Dreamworks Dragons: Riders of Berk, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Johnny Test, Pokemon Black & White: Adventures in Unova, Beyblade Metal Fury, Almost Naked Animals, and Scaredy Squirrel.

Here are some additional details:

Comic-Con International has released the full schedule for Sunday July 24th for San Diego Comic-Con 2011. This is the final day of the convention. Sunday is known as Kids day and is usually the slowest of all the days, there are a few surprises though. In all my years of going to Comic-Con I've never been to a panel in Hal H. Usually nothing is happening in Hall H on Sunday, this year there are a few TV programs going on in Hall H such a as Glee, Supernatural, Doctor Who, The Cleveland Show, Sons of Anarchy, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and this year Buffy the Musical will be in the great Hall as well. I've never been to the Buffy Musical event, and I think I finally want to go this year. A couple of other things worth noting are a one on one panel with Nathan Fillion, and Max Brooks talks about zombies.
