Who is actually able to watch it?

(Long story short: What's your opinion on Winx Club Season 6's time slot?)
I think it can be agreed on the Winx Club has one of the worst time slots possible. I'm really not exaggerating. Where I live, it starts at 12:00n and ends at 12:30-1:00pm, depending on the number of episodes airing that day. Isn't that, like, when football airs or something? That's at least what I was told.
Even if that's the case, I still can't watch it no matter what. On Sunday, I have to go to a certain place where I have a very important job (I think we're not allowed to discuss this certain place, but you can assume what it is). It ends right at 12:30pm, when Winx Club ends. And I would never, ever skip going to this place for a tv show. (Okay, well, I actually did do that for the premiere of season 5, but that was so long ago, before I was assigned my important job.) And even if there's a double episode, I would have no idea what happened in the previous episode- one of the reasons why I still haven't watched episode 8 in Italian.
The thing is though, today I am kinda sick so of course I'm staying home. It's one of the rare days I get to do that. And guess what- episode 7 is today! So it's one of the great days when I get to see it on a tv and not have to anxiously wait all day to get it on the internet. And then after that I can probably watch Italian episode 8.

First of all, today Nick will air episode 7 and 8, so you can watch both. xD

Actually, It's not a problem at all. In Portugal, we have 3 channels with the same dub: Canal Panda, TVI, and Nick. I don't have Nick, so only 2 for me. I remember that Season 5 aired on the 6th of October, and I watched it on 8.00 am on TVI, and later 2.30 pm on Canal Panda. At the begin, it was difficult because my mother goes to the shop every Saturday, but Winx aired Saturday and Sunday, and I don't like to watch with my mother. But TVI stopped for one week, so if I missed one episode on Sunday, I could watch it on TVI Saturday.

I never watched Season 4 on TV, because I moved to the Netherlands and I didn't have my own TV anymore. But I have everything on my PC. So if I lose one episode, because it's Sunday, I know where I can find it.

Times:

Canal Panda - 2.30PM and 7.30 PM, Saturday and Sunday (the same episode) - I never watch at 7.30 PM.
TVI: Always changes, but sometimes 8 AM, Saturday and Sunday
Nickelodeon: To much. 5/6/7 times every day.

Oh thanks, I thought it was only 7 Laughing

But from this, you see pretty lucky. Here, they only air the episodes like once on one channel and just never show it again... You have so many opportunities, though.

Yes, that's true. But in Portugal the dub always changes. Season 4 was the best here, only Bloom's voice changed. In Season 5, Tecna's, Bloom's, Stella's voice changed. And in the second part of the season, the selkies voices changed, and the specialists had the same dubber, except Sky. :S

And in Season 3, the only dubbers that were the same as in Season 2, was Riven and Sky.

In Season 1 and 2, all the other dubbers kept changing.

It's at 12-12:30/1 PM here in central time zone; I'm able to watch it, but only because I have literally nothing else to do on Sunday. Sometimes I sleep right through it because that's just too early of a time for most people. I usually record it in case I miss it, but not everyone can do that.
The problem is that it's too early. Even in EST it's from 2-3 and that's during a time where people often work. Kids are off school, but Sunday's a busy day for many kids anyway. I really think it should be aired around the time when they air new episodes for their other shows; it'll give it some more actual viewers. Another thing is that there is absolutely no advertising whatsoever. Anyone that doesn't already know about the show isn't likely to find out; no ads, no reruns (except on Teennick at 7 central in the morning no less) and all it gets is a place on Nick's website, which many don't even care about.
The only way to catch it is if you have nothing to do on Sunday morning or if you record it; and the latter doesn't give any views.

Luckily for me, my job is Monday-Friday, if I ever work weekends, it will only be on Saturdays.

So it's good for me, but it is a bad time slot. They NEVER show reruns, so it airs once and that's it. You miss it, too bad so sad. On top of that it doesn't even always come on, they air like every other week or month. lol

But, there's many fans that upload the episodes. It's not the same I know.

I think the American time is okay for me, it is around evening when it is 12/1c in the Netherlands. So i can watch it around 10 or 11 o'clock at night. Here in the Netherlands Winx airs everyday weekday around 14.20 i guess? But it are recaps everyday. If there are new episodes it will be every sunday at 06.30 or 07.00, Which i hate because i hate waking up early.

Nick has two channels with my tv cable thingy lol. I have two nick channels and they are three hours apart when it comes to airing. So if I don't catch it at 1 I can catch it at 4. Plus it's on demand and I always end up watching it on youtube....

For me- BADDDD TIME SLOT. I wish for a later slot like around 7:00PM PST on Thursdays. Second- my mom blocked the channel, don't ask. Third- I might have a problem with my dvr(like yesterday- Winx didn't record since my cable dvr wasn't receiving signal.) And last- Have to wait a day or two for a full episode to come out on vk or youtube.
