MotorTrend Group, a Warner Bros. Discovery company, has given a greenlight to “Super Turbo Story Time,” an all-new adult animated series telling larger than life, untold and (mostly) true stories from the automative world, it announced Thursday.
The eight-episode series, the first adult animated title in the history of MotorTrend, will be produced with legendary American animation studio Titmouse and by MotorTrend Studio.
“Super Turbo Story Time” will debut first quarter of 2023 on MotorTrend Plus, the top motoring SVOD service.
Every episode has two hosts who meet to trade their favorite car stories. “While one host shares their most unbelievable automotive legend, the other host listens carefully, ready to flag any holes in the story or simply crack jokes from the peanut gallery,” MotorTrend said in a press statement. It described the series animation as “energetic” and “stylized,” blended with active interviews with top celebrities and automotive authorities.

Tronc, in an announcement sent Monday to employees of the 99-year-old tabloid, said the massive cutbacks will include refocusing the paper’s coverage on breaking news.
“We are fundamentally restructuring the Daily News,” the company said in the memo. “We are reducing today the size of the editorial team by approximately 50% and re-focusing much of our talent on breaking news — especially in areas of crime, civil justice and public responsibility.” Over the last few years, the tabloid’s newsroom staff has declined from several hundred to between about 75-100 people, the New York Times reported.
Tronc has named Robert York, previously publisher and editor-in-chief of the company’s Morning Call newspaper in Allentown, Pa., to head the NY Daily News as of next...
