I have faith in him

They can just get punted over to Hulu or Prime Video like other CN and WB shows. Here's the breakdown

Just watch: They're going to saddle the Global Networks side with WBD's debt. Conveniently, Zaslav will head the Streaming & Studios side.

And you can blame the execs for this. It didn't have to be this way. They pushed streaming so hard while neglecting TV. Agreed. People are free to say AS programming sucks, but they can't say it's not unique and original. Most long running channels lost their identity (TLC with learning...

I still think this era was good for the most part. I think the thing I hated the most was the logo change, which is a small complaint. I thought the programming was decent though. I never understood the "CN died in 2004" narrative. The Yes, CN Real, or current eras are way worse.

Good job on this! It's really interesting to see the the (d)evolution of the channel by what it aired and how much it aired.

I thought the same thing. Even though I was watching during that time, it never felt "mature." I was in the 6-11 demo (10 years old) and pretty much watched everything that was airing at this point. It wasn't disappointing for me at all.

Sounds like it was managed by Fox because of the buyout, according to this Variety article: This whole era is so interesting to me. Didn't know about the spinoff in 1996:

Cable TV in general collapsed. Most of the execs went all in on streaming platforms, neglecting cable TV in the process. When they stopped caring, people stopped tuning in, which emboldened the execs to care even less. That's why pretty much all channels are now reruns, marathons, and/or both. I...

I often think back this interview in 2022 where we were assured 2023 would be so much better. What happened with that? https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/cartoon-network-warner-bros-discovery-animation-batwheels-1235453151/

I don't think Adult Swim is the problem at all. It's not like CN has been doing anything with the time it does have. If Adult Swim was completely removed from the schedule, do people really think it would get better? Adult Swim isn't the reason new shows, that had the potential to be the next...

It no longer airs in my city on local TV.

I feel like it would've had another good 4 or 5 years.

"Do people WANT it to last that long? We saw the decline AT had (*cough* BREEZY *cough*)" Unless the first part was for everyone and we was only referring to Neoplan and Eldorado.

CN better start greenlighting new series. It seems like they're cancelling more shows than airing new ones!
