* In October 2012, Creator/NickJr premiered a block of mother-oriented shows at 10pm called ''[=NickMom=]'', complete with advertising. Granted, most of the Nick Jr. target audience is in bed by then... but Nick Jr. [[UsefulNotes/ANSIStandardBroadcastTVSchedule didn't have east coast/west coast feeds]], so what aired at 10pm in the east started at 7pm on the West Coast and 4pm/5pm[[note]]dependent on Daylight Saving Time[[/note]] in Hawaii. To say that parents in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Honolulu who were looking for ''Franklin'' and ''Dora'' were unhappy when they instead got stand-up comediennes talking about [[RefugeInVulgarity how painful their vaginas were after childbirth]] and episodes of ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' with Carol snarking up the reruns ''Series/PopUpVideo''-style is a serious understatement (most of the #nickmom tag for social media started out filled with outright hate for the new programming). The associated blog site for the network even drew controversy when it made fun of children with food disabilities and people affected by Hurricane Sandy, as well as using actual photos of children without permission.\\

* Disney Cinemagic was a channel that showed Disney movies and television shows that adapted them such as ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'', ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'' and ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''. Towards the end of the channel's run, shows that weren't based on pre-existing films, but were no longer run on the other Disney channels, like ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'', ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' were added to the roster. It got to the point where shows that were still airing at the time like ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and ''Bunnytown'' were also added to the lineup.

** Speaking of Buzzr, programming that doesn't fit their mission has been making its way into their schedule. During its' first month on air, reruns of ''Series/MonsterGarage'' and its' sister show ''Monster House'' ran during the late-night hours. After years of not doing this, reruns of ''The Great Christmas Light Fight'' were added in 2019.

* While Creator/FoxNews has always been known for reporting from a conservative point of view, up until the late 2000s it was still regarded as a credible news source, with the network claiming that any perceived right-wing bias came from primetime "editorial" programs like ''Series/TheOReillyFactor'' and ''Hannity'', while the rest of its programming was presented as "straight news".[[note]]Despite this, liberal critics pointed to plenty of instances of right-leaning opinions being presented as fact in Fox's purported news blocks.[[/note]] But during the presidencies of Barack Obama and especially Donald Trump, Fox's schedule gradually became overtaken by programs explicitly designated by the network as opinion shows (including ''Tucker Carlson Tonight'', ''The Ingraham Angle'', and the morning show ''Series/FoxAndFriends'') at the expense of the news shows, which have often been either pushed into [[FridayNightDeathSlot dump hours]] or cancelled altogether. It has gotten to the point where some veteran Fox journalists, most notably Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace, left the network over both the shift and the increasingly extreme opinion hosts. Part of the reason for the shift is explained by a rise of competition during the late 2010s: fledgling networks such as Newsmax and One America News (OAN) have siphoned away major portions of Fox's viewership through offering fringe perspectives on the political climate; [[FollowTheLeader the increased focus in showcasing similar content]] is Fox's response in order to stave off their losses in ratings.

* Noggin was originally a collaboration with Children's Television/Sesame Workshop and used to be about education for older kids. That demo got younger and younger, as tweens and teens are notoriously hard to pitch educational shows to; Noggin quickly became a preschooler-targeted network with many Nick Jr. programs, while sharing channel space with "The N" until it was spun off into its own network. In 2009, Noggin was renamed into Nick Jr., though Noggin would return a decade later as a streaming service. (It's worth noting that Sesame Workshop hasn't been involved with Noggin since the early 2000s, and later became a partner in the demographic rival Sprout and then the premium network HBO.)
