The French version ran several times on Radio-Canada, there were at least 3 or 4 reruns. At first it was on Saturday morning at 10, starting somewhere during the 1984-1985 season (I don't remember if it was in September or January).

I also found this archive that shows it was also playing in 1989 at 8 am on Sunday. I remember there was one hour of Astroboy (2 episodes) on both Saturday and Sunday at 8 am around that year - there was a special event on the day that I linked to, which may be why there was no Astroboy at 8:30 on that particular day. Or maybe the two back to back episode aired later? It's so confusing! ;)

The English version was on CBC, but I don't know when because I've never seen it.

It started in Australia in 1982 and showed on weekdays. I thought the timeslot was 5:30pm, but that might have been a repeat. I know some later screenings were 7:00am because there was a clock in the corner on my tapes. IIRC, it was shown 11 times between 1982 and 1992.
