Since Doctor Sonic emailed CITV, I too have also sent them an email about the recent editing Sonic X has received. I said about the 20Min time slot, fans not being happy about this, and also that Not all fans have access to Fox Kids [where apart from EP3 every other episode has been UNCUT].
And those fans are missing out and want to see episodes uncut, not with bits missing.

I received a reply earlier this week...

For those of you that would rather have some classic Sonic rather than Sonic X. Pop will be showing Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog all day on the 3rd

Pop plus (Channel 619 on Sky I think) will also be devoting a entire day to Sonic like Fox Kids. Also Pop is giving away Sonic Underground DVD's every half-hour.

By Bryan Dawson -- Staff Writer
Published 2:44 PM CDT, April 29, 2004

Start the rumor mill, Sega has just announced a mystery briefing at E3 that could shock the world.

In less than two weeks time, on Wednesday, May 12, Sega will surprise the gaming world with an announcement from their booth at E3. According to an e-mail sent out to various media outlets this morning, the announcement will take place at 10:00 AM PST, and last for approximately 30 minutes. Sega is calling it an "Explosive Announcement Event".

In addition to the big announcement, the mystery briefing will also unveil the latest titles from Sega. Many people have speculated that Sega will announce Shenmue III exclusively for the Xbox, but the sheer magnitude of this event seems to point to something bigger. Stay with us as we'll have coverage of the event from the E3 show floor. "

Must be a very important thing !! Maybe some sonic stuff ? ;)

Fox Kids may have butchered the series, but here's a big surprise to all Sonic X fans.

Sonic Team has confirmed that they are making a new game for Sony's Eye-Toy. It will contain mini games from Virtua Fighter, House of the Dead, Sonic and Samba De Amigo.

Well, today has been a slow news day, so I figured I'd post the NPD numbers for Sonic Heroes.

Gamecube: 58,582

Xbox: 19,960

PS2: 52,699

Total: 131,241

Add that to the sales of the last two months (396,180), and the total sales of the US version of Sonic Heroes are: 527,421. Not bad for our cool blue heroe. We may see him it over a million by the end of the year if this keeps up.

A few days ago I sent my third email to CiTV. The email was to make sure episodes 10-13 would be shown unedited on the repeat run, as they all had nearly 2 mins cut out on their first showing. Unfortunately the reply I got says they will only be repeating the first 10. Here is the reply:

Last week I sent a second email to CiTV about the edits they have been making to Sonic X. As well pointing out how noticeable the edits are & asking if the repeats they are showing would be uncut, I also asked if they would be getting the second set of Sonic X episodes (The Chaos Emerald Saga). I recently received this reply:
