The 13 “Deaths” of Cartoon Network (Editorial)


https://animesuperhero.com/the-13-deaths-of-cartoon-network-editorial/

"With the recent merger of Cartoon Network and WB studios, and with Adult Swim now coming on at 5pm Eastern Time Monday through Friday, people are once again pronouncing the “death” of Cartoon Network. But the thing is, Cartoon Network has been around long enough, it has experienced many “deaths”.

It was former Cartoon Network President Stuart Snyder that himself once said that Cartoon Network needs to refresh itself “every 5 years” in order to attract a new wave of kids. But if you’re refreshing the identity of the channel every 3 or 5 or 7 years, you’re going to have a set of “kids” who feel the network has changed and is no longer for them. For them to feel that Cartoon Network had “died”.

What I’m advocating for here is that we keep some perspective, to see where things have been before now. Cartoon Network might eventually come back revitalized, stronger than ever. But it’s also going to change again (and shed more “old school” fans). So with having said that, here’s the 13 times that Cartoon Network “died” (the end of one era, and the start of another)."
