Infamous among Canadian anime fans of a certain vintage, this YTV promo for the Gundam Wing demonstrated the channel's sheer inability to handle an older youth oriented animated series. Tonally opposite to the content in question, the promo's narrator proudly joked that "Endless Waltz has endless waltzes." To make matters worse, Endless Waltz aired on YTV on September 11, 2000. Gundam Wing itself wouldn't premiere on the channel until after that. Endless Waltz is an epilogue. They spoiled large portions of the show by doing that.
Only reason I wouldn't write an article is because I feel it's silly to create an article that'll take longer to make than it'll take to watch the item in question.
YTV was pretty inept when it came to anime in general, from what I recall. They totally panicked when they realized a show they'd gotten dub rights to already had a Western presence, and said Western presence suggested the main characters were a couple. How did they fix that? They aired it when the target audience was at school.
"Weekend? It's Monday already."

Which show would this be? I find it hard to believe a broadcaster would buckle to fan drivel.

This was 10 years ago. They did start airing it on Saturday mornings after they figured out nobody was panicking, so it was okay.
