* Creator/{{Toonami}}: According to an Anime News Network interview with Jason [=DeMarco=], the person in charge of Toonami, as the years went on and Toonami's success became indisputable, the rest of Creator/CartoonNetwork's programming people gradually took more control. They began hands-off, seeing how Toonami would do on its own, with the people at Toonami doing broadcasting rights themselves. Then, Cartoon Network offered people to help get rights for Toonami. Later, Cartoon Network looked for show rights themselves, got a lot of deals started, and would ask [=DeMarco=] and others about which ones they should continue pursuing. Finally, they became harmful: Cartoon Network executives forced the very out-of-place ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'' onto Toonami, then took most of the control over the [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming block]]. This is the reason why the original Toonami's final years had a severe increase in MerchandiseDriven shows aimed at younger audiences than before, like ''Anime/DuelMasters'' and ''D.I.C.E.'', as well as the removal of Toonami Midnight Run, which was aimed at teenagers and adults. The new Toonami, the one that's part of Creator/AdultSwim, had executives ''overestimate'' how popular it would be. It was intended to be only 3 hours long, but their superiors insisted on it being 6 hours. Since Toonami's budget cannot allow for 6 hours' worth of new content all the time, they scraped whatever reruns they could hold onto to pad out the latter half. When Toonami was cut down to 3 and half hours in 2015, the decision was actually welcomed by the Toonami staff, as it meant they could now run the block as they intended.

* Shortly after the 9/11 attacks in the United States, Clear Channel Radio (now known as iHeartMedia) circulated a list of songs considered inappropriate to play in the aftermath of the tragedy. Contrary to popular belief, this was ''not'' a strict ban but rather a suggestion to the program directors of Clear Channel's stations. The list mainly included songs with lyrics about tangentially related subjects, such as airplanes, collisions, violence, fire, September, and New York City. It also included a number of "happy" songs that were considered tonally inappropriate, such as "What A Wonderful World" by Music/{{Louis Armstrong}}. Notably, the list included ''the entire discography'' of Music/{{Rage Against The Machine}} at the time, while Music/{{ACDC}} had the most individually listed songs of any artist with seven.
