Cartoon Network Purge

[Squidward1999]

Cartoon Network is getting purged by Discovery, and will probably not exist in a year as it will be dissolved into WB Animation...

It sucks

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

Hard to believe. But cable is pretty much dead now, so it's not the end of the world.

I hope they could move the cartoons to the Cartoon Network streaming app, or maybe they should team up with Roku to launch a Cartoon Network-branded Roku channel...

Streaming services are pretty much becoming the norm now...

Cable's been dying since at least 2015......

I've been observing the death of cable TV, and now people are shifting towards streaming services to watch what they want now. Much of the content that used to be on cable TV is found on Disney+, Paramount+, HBO Max, Peacock, VUDU, Hulu, Apple TV, etc.
People are also rediscovering broadcast TV, and all the locally offered content it offers.
Now, if only they could make streaming services less expensive for consumers...

Wait can someone explain this to me

The merger between Warner Media and Discovery is causing Warner Bros. Discovery to kill off Cartoon Network, and place much of the network's content into Warner Bros. Animation.

The people at Paramount are ready for when the decline of cable TV affects SpongeBob, by offering the cartoon on Paramount+ and Pluto TV's Nickelodeon channel.

This reminds me of how Hanna-Barbara got shut down...

Also this isn't just effecting CN, it's also effecting the characters as some shows were taken off of HBO Max and video's of them that were published on the Cartoon Network YouTube channel got taken down.

yeah i saw HBO max doing it sad day for cn

 

[Season 4-11]

Honestly I think this whole thing is just dumb on HBO's part, especially with the removal of all the shows. They're taking down OK K.O. and Infinity Train for underperformance? There's probably hundreds - or even thousands - of people who bought the service just for one of those shows (or both). HBO Max honestly isn't worth my time (or $14.99 a month for that matter). If Cartoon Network fails as a result, it's not their fault imo, it's the fault of Warner Bros. and HBO Max.

Plus Discovery...

Plus Discovery...

It's like order 66 hopefully there will be survivor to save it

 

[Squidward1999]

Uncle Grandpa ended up being a survivor with only one episode from Season 3 plus the crossover with Steven Universe on HBO Max...

It's ironic how now Nickelodeon wants people to make shows for them now (albeit having to be 21 and older) while Cartoon Network is taking off shows that people worked very hard on.
