for basic cable, Cartoonetwork is pretty much where most anime shows are. You can catch some from the Sci-Fi channel on monday nights or other times, look on your local listings. If you have satellite or upgraded cable then you should check out the Independent Films Channel and Starz Edge.

If you're lucky enough to have Verizon FIOS, then the Funimation Channel's also a good option for your anime TV viewing.

There's always Anime Selects, they occasionally have good shows. Other then that you have Sci Fi and CN (on basic cable) and if you can find it, an asian network (I can't think of the name of it) has some on but pickings are pretty slim with the demise of Anime Network. You can only reach some stuff through ONDEMAND.

This website has a weekly "article" called The Click that list old and new episodes being aired on TV and which network airs them.

Click Here for link to the most recent article.

Although this weeks is pretty weird with all those stupid drawings, normally they're not there, actually I hadnt been on this site for a couple of months and can care less about which anime is on TV but I used to a while back and this section was really informative... Rolling Eyes

This only refers to my experience, but in general it's very hard to watch anime at all. ITV have been showing Pokémon on ITV4 in the mornings recently. Pop, Kix and Pop Girl show anime sometimes - currently, Mew Mew Power, Spider Riders, Beyblade, Medabots and Transformers, I think. And that's about all the anime that's ever on telly. (Unless you pay for more channels).

Not even that, AnimeCentral (the tv chanel) is stone dead and that's about your lot.

I don't know what Direct TV or Dish Network are, but surely it's easy to find out which channel Bleach and Naruto are broadcast on...
Indeed, their wikipedia pages say Bleach is on TV Tokyo, and Naruto is on Animax and TV Tokyo. (I don't know if those are current, though.)

DirecTV and Dish Network are both two popular satellite TV services here in the US. They compete with such companies as Cablevision and Comcast, if those sound familiar.

Karlos85, contact your satellite provider and see if they have an international package. Also please note that when you watch the shows like that they'd be raw (no subs). You'll have a rough time enjoying them unless you speak Japanese. Sure you can get the jist of it from context, but dialogue will fly you by faster than a Boeing 747 passenger jet.

You do know that those are Japanese stations that you can't get anywhere exept Japan, right?

Well, I was assuming that since DirecTV and Dish Network are satellite providers that there would be some sort of licensing deal or something that would allow them to broadcast internationally...
