I've been wondering, is it always true that international distribution masters of shows finished the very day the shows are finished in production in the production studio?
I know Vincent Waller said on Twitter that as soon as an episode of SpongeBob is finished at Nickelodeon Animation Studios, it's given to Viacom's international distribution unit where they do their own modifications like adding a Nickelodeon logo to the intro if there isn't one already for consistency.
