Description

These early airings are all because of DF’s summer break policy. Back when they didn’t do that, the episodes didn’t air early in other countries. They’ve only got themselves to blame.

Actually from informations which I have Hasbro itself set release date for other countries where they request dubs.  
Networks itself set dates which are good for them.  
First half of the season was set to May, second looks like to August.

Far from that; if they didn’t have a break, the season would end even earlier. none of these others broadcasted the latter-half episodes while DF was in hiatus. instead they only started showing the latter-half at best a week before DF did and then started to come up with haphazard scheduling from 2 or 3 episodes a week (Australia) to one episode a day (Denmark).
 
In fact, i’m suspecting if these mid-season breaks aren’t actually being used to avoid foreign networks from finishing the season before DF even reaches the halfway point.
 
I’d figure it’s something like this:
 
I’m not a lawyer, but i conjecture that back then, they had clauses on their contracts that stopped the foreign channels from airing episodes before The Hub or DF did; somehow, DF lost enough bargaining power or the foreign channels gained enough of it that the newer contracts suppressed these clauses and let the other channels air the season any way they like.

I miss the show so much
I’d also blame the strange fetish of “must speedrun through the new episodes with no breaks at all”. I don’t understand it.
 
What do you gain from airing 3 new episodes every week, other than having to go back to safe reruns faster?
