Have you considered having Impact being run by the new trinity (Kevin Von Erich, Court Bauer, and Billy Corgan?)
I had an earlier suggestion that Billy Corgan take over WCW after TBS-Paramount was forced by the DOJ to sell it. However, if Billy would be a better fit with Impact alongside Von Erich and Bauer, I'll accept that suggestion too.
In fact, TNA will indeed rebrand as Impact because there are a lot of people within TNA and its TV partner The Hub who feel that the TNA name comes off very trashy and a turnoff for casual wrestling fans.

Entertainment News for Late January/Early February 2008
Bally and WGN held a press conference to introduce Spongebob voice Tom Kenny as the third and newest actor to portray Bozo the Clown as part of a Bozo revival scheduled for 2010. The character was previously portrayed on WGN's version of Bozo by Bob Bell and Joey D'Auria.
- The Chicago Tribune
Bally, WGN approach multiple studios on potential cartoon library licenses for the 2010 Bozo revival.
- TV Guide
Bally shareholders overwhelmingly give Jeffrey Bewkes a vote of no-confidence. One time Nickelodeon executive Herb Scannell has been approached by Bally's board of directors with an offer to become Bewkes' replacement.
- The Chicago Sun-Times
Alameda County district attorney Tom Orloff announces that arrest warrants have been issued for several former Oakland police officers who botched the investigation into the 1990 car accident that killed Dennis and Helen Chung on their way home from the Grand Lake Theatre. Their daughter Joyce, then seven years old, was the lone survivor of the crash. However, spinal injuries have forced Joyce to wear diapers ever since. Joyce is now 24 and married to Mighty Ducks of San Diego owner Tiffany Disney.

1: That's gonna be great for Bozo, but would it lead to scheduling conflicts between the Clown and the Sponge?
2: At least Turner would have a synergistic bonus to keep their classics on the revival.
3: Thank God.
4: Vindication!
Chicago has plenty of sound studios where Kenny can still record his Spongebob lines. His dialogue can then be uploaded to a flash drive or a cloud for Paramount/Rankin-Bass/Ruby-Spears and United Plankton to then insert into the dialogue recorded by his castmates.
TBS-Paramount will get plenty of residuals for their properties getting screen time on the Bozo revival as they did for the original. For every Bozo airing that showcases an old Popeye short, King Features will also get a check.
1. Cool to see this happen. But surprising not familiar to Bozo the Clown. I know Svengoolie since I watch him on MeTV but not Bozo..
2. Maybe a deal with WB to license out Looney Toons?
3. See you later, Bewkes!
4. Honestly don't mind this at all. Feels like a weight has been lifted off Joyce. Thanks.
So how is wrestling doing so far @OldNavy1988? Any news on the NWA and when will TNA become Impact Wrestling?
Why would he even do it?
And maybe Dork Diaries could work as a animated/live-action hybrid on Disney Channel.
COOL!
How would Herb be successful at the company?
And who would replace him?
That's nice to hear!
Pro Wrestling
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was formed ITTL in 2002 as a restructuring of the World Wrestling Alliance (WWA). The WWA, known in prior years as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), was owned by the McMahon family until the 2001 suicide of Vince McMahon, Jr. Linda McMahon, Vince's widow, runs the business side of AEW while Stephanie and Shane handle the actual booking. The TV rights to AEW are exclusively held by Peacock, with Monday Night Raw airing on the USA Network and Friday Night SmackDown and Saturday Night Main Event airing on NBC. AEW acquired the intellectual property rights to Wrestlemania shortly after Vinnie Mac's unexpected death.
The National Wrestling Alliance is made up of the territories that did not fall into the hands of the Clan McMahon. The TV rights to the NWA are exclusively held by Disney who run the weekly shows Rampage and Dynamite on FX.
World Championship Wrestling (WCW) was previously owned by Turner Broadcasting System but needed to be sold in recent months in order for the Department of Justice to approve the TBS-Paramount merger. WCW is now owned by a sports consortium overseen by Henson chairman Bob Iger. Going forward, Monday Nitro will air on ESPN, ESPN2 or XYZ while Thunder will run on ABC. WCW Saturday Night will air on XYZ.
Total Nonstop Action (TNA) will rebrand in the coming months as simply Impact Wrestling, named after one of its weeknight shows which airs on The Hub.
Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) had a very comfortable home at HBO in the 90's. However, that changed when HBO's parent company Bally gained the rights to TNA/Impact.
The major belt holders at the moment are as follows:
AEW: John Cena
NWA: Shared by Colt Cabana and CM Punk
WCW: Booker T
TNA: Scott Steiner
ECW: Dean Ambrose
Computers
Microsoft, Commodore and Linux are the major operating systems with Commodore being TTL's equivalent of Apple.
Anime
20th Century-Fox (Disney), Lionsgate and New Line Cinema (Saban) are the heavyweights in English translations with a distant fourth being Touchstone (Henson) thanks to its partnership with Ghibli. Bringing up the rear are Warner Bros. and Universal with Paramount barely starting to dip their toes in the dubbing game.
The most popular English translations for each studio are as follows:
20th Century-Fox: Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, Naruto, Astroboy, Candy Candy, Kimba the White Lion, Maya the Bee
New Line Cinema: Sailor Moon, Robotech, Noozles
Lionsgate: One Piece, Lupin III, Voltron
Warner Bros: Speed Racer, Dragon Ball
Touchstone: Ghibli films
Universal: Cardcaptors
Columbia-TriStar: Angie Girl, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon (NOTE: Only Angie Girl was dubbed under the Columbia banner. All others dubbed under the TriStar label as part of partnerships with Nintendo and Hasbro dating back to the early Eighties).
Paramount: Super Milk Chan (Coming later in 2008 to Adult Swim)
Major Console Companies and their current systems
Atari (Disney): Coyote
Nintendo: Revolution (Wii IOTL)
Sega (TBS-Paramount): Scorpio
Panasonic (Matsushita): Pantheon
Panasonic is usually seen a bargain console compared to the other three.
Will Bobobo be coming to ABC's Saturday Morning lineup this Spring to replace Out of Jimmy's Head?
Maybe try to keep it the same as IOTL:
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (ボボボーボ・ボーボボ) is an anime based on the manga series written and illustrated by Yoshio Sawai. Richard Epcar - Bo-Bobo Vicky Green - Beauty Kirk Thornton - Don Patch Taylor Henry - Jelly Jiggler Donn A. Nordean - Dengaku Man Joe Lotsko - Softon Melodee M. Spevack - Torpedo Girl...
And here are some clips to show you how it's like:
In short, with it's perfect mix of comedy and action, this could become a cult hit.
I could even see this having some YTPs and EDITED videos.
And this show's perfect for the kids!

I see this show will become a instant hit!
Can't wait for the rest of Animation Domination High-Def to launch(certainly better than FX Webtoons!)
Also, will this be it's opening?:
Unconventional, but for such an iconic webseries, getting in touch with the same studio(s) that revolutionized anime to what it is today is basically the best possible case scenario.
