As far as the PAX channel is concerned, we have one near where we live called WPXT 26 out of Hartford, CT. It does not show Mario at 6am here either. As far as them putting the Mario show back on the air, it was owned by DIC and Nintendo, not the Fox Family Channel so they might not be able to get it back on.
