During the event, Bart Simpson had "taken control" of the Fox Kids satellite, and was now in control of the broadcasting. This amounted to Bart Simpson hosting the regular Fox Kids lineup of cartoons on that day along with the occasional ''Simpsons'' clip that aired during commercial breaks, leading up to a sneak peek at the season 8 premiere.<ref>[https://nohomers.net/showthread.php?108365-BartCasting A forum thread discussing the event.] Retrieved 02 May '20</ref> ===Availability=== Since "Bartcasting" was a one-off promotion, these hosting segments had not been seen or aired since their initial airing on that Saturday, and there is very little information online about this event in general.
