* In 2010, Discovery Kids, an outgrowth of the Creator/DiscoveryChannel which showed mostly educational programming similar to the fields of the parent channel, was replaced by [[Creator/DiscoveryFamily The Hub]], a channel backed by Creator/{{Hasbro}} which focused on the company's MerchandiseDriven franchises. However, this wound up being [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools a major blessing in disguise]], as [[Series/TheHauntingHour many]] [[WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012 of]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime the]] [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades new]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic shows]] went on to attract considerable acclaim and popularity. Of the international versions that were around at the time, only the Latin American feed remains: the UK version was replaced with Discovery Turbo (cars, bikes, boats, and planes), and the Canadian version was replaced on most providers by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} (it is legally a separate channel, but the channel allotments were re-used on most providers). Strangely, shortly after the American version of Discovery Kids was replaced by The Hub, they launched an ''Asian'' feed of Discovery Kids. Carrying gems such as ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'', ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman'', and ''WesternAnimation/PeepAndTheBigWideWorld'', the Asian feed is still alive and well today.
** Sadly, the good times were not to last. Only four years and three days after the birth of The Hub, the hammer came down again. In July 2014, The Hub's president Margaret Loesch disclosed plans to step down by the end of the year. In September 2014, Discovery then announced that it would increase its stake in the network to 60% from 50, replace Loesch with Henry Schleiff (who leads some of Discovery's other digital networks), and re-brand it as Discovery Family in October 2014 with Hasbro still having partial control over the network's programming (specifically daytime shows, meaning that The Hub's original programs still have a home). The primetime entertainment programming was thrown out the window and the network turned into a family-friendly permutation of Discovery Channel shows that have already been [[AdoredByTheNetwork treated with blatant adoration]]. Oddly enough, this shift almost brings it back in line with Discovery Kids' original format, except that it uses reruns of shows from the actual Discovery Channel and still shows general kids' fare. Many feel the whole thing is bittersweet; after ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'' were axed following their respective fourth and third seasons, ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' remained as the network's only original offering that was still active, with the days of the network having a solid lineup of original content now a thing of the past. Some have even expressed concern that ''My Little Pony'''s toyline is the only thing keeping afloat [[JustHereForGodzilla the network as a whole]]; without it, Discovery Family has otherwise decayed into a Discovery/Hasbro rerun dumping ground, with the network's schedule now being filled with shows that either ended, were cancelled, and/or already air(ed) on sister Discovery networks, or shows co-produced by Hasbro subsidiaries that were previously broadcast on [=YouTube=] or Netflix. Not helping matters is that the network has no western feed either, meaning that if you live in the Pacific Time Zone, you best be early to watch the shows there before 2:00 PM, or you'll be screwed, unless you have a DVR to record the morning shows.
** In March 2018, Discovery acquired Scripps Networks Interactive, thus adding [=HGTV=], Food Network, DIY Network and other sister channels to its lineup. Soon afterwards, endless reruns of ''Renovation Realities'' and [=DIY=]'s various ''Crashers'' shows (which [[AdoredByTheNetwork already air more than enough on their parent networks]]) were added to its lineup, almost overtaking the other Discovery shows on the network (beyond ''Too Cute!'').

*** Although there were rumors of Hasbro and Discovery's contract ending in 2021 having been circulated for years, the contract has been renewed to at least 2023. [[Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery Discovery's merger with WarnerMedia]] in 2022 also had hardly any effect on Hasbro's ownership of Discovery Family.

* Comet is a free over-the-air multicast diginet (it's also available as a free mobile/TV app) that was launched in 2015 to fill the sci-fi television void left by Creator/{{Syfy}}. The network mainly airs sci-fi and fantasy movies, as well as shows like ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. From 2015 to mid-2017 it [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers also aired]] ''[[Wrestling/RingOfHonor Ring Of Honor Wrestling]]''. Unlike Syfy, however, Comet had a valid reason to air professional wrestling on a sci-fi network; both Ring of Honor and Comet are owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, and ROH Wrestling had nowhere else to go to nationally after their twenty-six episode deal with Destination America came to an end. It helped that Comet is still a relatively new network and remains committed to stay true to its original format, and it was only an hour out of the 126 it programs per week. ROH is now on fellow Sinclair action diginet Charge![[note]]Or it was, ROH is no longer on anywhere because the company collapsed in 2021 and was sold to Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling booker/CEO Tony Khan in March of 2022. ROH titles are used on AEW shows but as a promotion Ring of Honor no longer exists[[/note]]

** When [[Creator/DiscoveryChannel Discovery]] acquired [=WarnerMedia=] from AT&T in 2022, it began cutting costs through the cancellation of a multitude of projects across the latter's subdivisions, and Cartoon Network's productions were no exception. The plan to merge Creator/HBOMax and Discovery's own streaming service Discovery+ has led to nearly the entirety of CN's catalog being pulled from the former, even shows that ''still had new episodes set to air''. As a result, many of CN's projects currently in production have either been [[WesternAnimation/CloseEnough completely]] [[WesternAnimation/VictorAndValentino cancelled]] or have been [[WesternAnimation/SummerCampIsland halted]] while the producers shop the unfinished product to other streaming services. These decisions caused the new conglomerate to lose billions of dollars worth in stocks, which is undoubtedly bound to result in even more cost-cutting moves that put CN in even more dire waters. As of 2023, the situation appears to be stabilizing to an extent. Adult Swim had made strides at the expense of Cartoon Network proper, gaining the 7pm hour as well as new shows ''WesternAnimation/UnicornWarriorsEternal'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyAdventuresWithSuperman'' (both originally slated for Cartoon Network). It will gain the 6pm slot in August with plans for a [[https://deadline.com/2023/06/adult-swim-expansion-nostalgia-block-checkered-past-cartoon-network-1235398446/ block of]] of classic CN shows like ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', ''WesternAnimation/EdEddnEddy'' and ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog''.

* When UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}}'s local Creator/{{PBS}} [[note]]Or NET as it was called then[[/note]] station WQED-13 first bought the former WENS-16 in 1959, it established a sister station, WQEX, in order to showcase educational programming it couldn't fit on the main channel. Then in the 1980's, after the original broadcast tower breaking necessitated a switch to color[[note]]WQEX was one of the last channels in the country to switch to color[[/note]], WQED began running WQEX as its own station, showing imported British Sitcoms, reruns of old PBS shows such as Series/MasterpieceTheatre, Movies, as well as Local oriented programming. The station became popular for this programming as well as its nightly sign-off, which featured "credits" that donors could have their name listed in. But during the 1990s, as the costs of writing original content, getting rights to broadcast the imports, and broadcasting increased, the station began to switch to a simulcast of WQED, save for some programming in the evening. As the new millennium dawned, WQED began having financial issues after the end of their old original show, ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood,'' leasing out the station to the Home Shopping Network, then [=ShopNBC=] while looking for a permanent buyer; this is usually verboten for a public television operation since most use non-commercial television licenses, but since WQEX still retained a commercial license, was perfectly legal to do. The station was finally sold to [[Creator/{{Ion}} Ion Media Networks,]] (which had been waiting for years to get a Pittsburgh station; a previous 1999 deal to acquire another station and swap the WQEX license with another religious broadcaster who could use it under that definition was shot down by the FCC), and became WINP in 2010.

** The "Noods"/"Toonix" (2009-13) era as well as the early "Check It!" period (2013-14) probably saw the most chaotic version of Cartoon Network yet: While ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' premiered in Latin America just a couple of months after the U.S. feed and action programming was somewhat scaled back, the network began to lose audience to Creator/DisneyChannel and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, and live-action content (mostly limited to movies beforehand) sprung up, first by airing repeats of ''Series/ElChapulinColorado'' and ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho''. Then, the network co-produced a tweencom with Creator/Televisa entitled ''La CQ''[[note]]Named after the Spanish spelling of ''secu'', abbreviation of ''secundaria'', which is Spanish for high school[[/note]], which became subject to fierce criticism from basically everybody, also airing the Canadian tweencom ''Mr. Young'', about a teenage teacher. And finally, for a time in 2013, some of the "CN Real" shows popped up in Saturday afternoons. But if this wasn't enough, other CN originals such as ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' and ''MAD'' took a long time to premiere, and from 2012, [[CreditsPushback the intros and outros for shows were sped up]] and shows aired in 15-minute blocks interspersed with other 15 minutes of commercials and short cartoons. Another issue was the fact the Mexican studio that dubbed most of the network's shows was churning out increasingly awful results. Interestingly, one of the channel's slogans (between 2008 and 2010) was ''Hacemos lo que queremos'' (literally "We do what we want to"), which pretty much summed up their programming choices.
** Beginning in 2014, CNLA seemed to be back on track: Live-action output had been limited to a few movies (not counting the fourth season of ''31 Minutos'' and a brief period where ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' was shown) while CN Originals regained the spotlight and dubs improved after a switch in studios. The downsides however were the disappearance of older shows (except on overnight slots) and non-CN animated material as well as the increased censoring of several shows[[note]]Several episodes from both CN originals and acquired series, as well as movies, feature an on-screen disclaimer beside the CN logo at the beginning indicating these have been edited for exhibition[[/note]], and by late 2017-early 2018, ''Teen Titans Go!'' began occupying an increasing portion of the schedule, however it wasn't until 2019 when the series' dominance of CNLA would become comparable to what happened to the U.S. feed.

* The Canadian version of Adult Swim has not been able to air the Toonami block, which was one of the biggest draws of the American version, because of rights issues and Canada's reluctance to air anime after YTV's Bionix descended into filler episodes and reruns until it sputtered to a finish in 2009. Also, they unironically (which is strange for Adult Swim, who would air such movies as an April Fool's prank) air low-budget made for TV movies with titles like ''I Didn't Kill My Sister'' simply for Canadian content regulations (such movies aired on Showcase Action, which Adult Swim replaced). They did air the ''Film/BladeRunner'' anime and ''Anime/HousingComplexC'', but overall, there is no other anime on the channel, unlike the American block.

*** The introduction of Creator/{{Cartoonito}} for the US in September 2021, a new preschool block that will include the already controversial and doomed-from-the-start ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' reboot ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo'', as well as the similarly-disdained ''WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}'' [[note]] The latter show would later on stop airing on the block in favor of original programs and another infamous preschool series, ''WesternAnimation/{{Cocomelon}}''.[[/note]]

* The Science Channel, or Science, zigzags between slipping and recovering every few months. Conceived as a channel that aired shows about real science, it shifted into becoming a more general STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) channel and from this new baseline alternatively slips and recovers. The one show that has always remained prominent on the channel despite any other changes is ''Series/HowItsMade'', mostly due to its low production costs, enormous episode library, and FunForSome nature. Everything other than that, though, is up in the air - Science seems to zig-zag between showing largely real-science shows and showing, something else. It has at times run so much alternative content to have been nicknamed Sci-Fi 2 (''Series/{{Firefly}}'', ''{{Series/Fringe}}''), the Survival Channel (''Series/{{Survivorman}}'' and kin), the Aliens and Conspiracies channel (''The Unexplained Files'', ''Unsealed: Alien Files'', various [[DocuDrama questionable]] [[UsefulNotes/ConspiracyTheories documentaries]]), and more, but it always tends to drift back to its core content of science and engineering-oriented shows and SpeculativeDocumentary specials before going off in another unrelated direction again.

*** Although there were rumors of Hasbro and Discovery's contract ending in 2021 having been circulated for years, for some reason, the contract was renewed for an indefinite amount of time. [[Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery Discovery's merger with WarnerMedia]] in 2022 also had hardly any effect on Hasbro's ownership of Discovery Family.

** In February 2021, it was announced that the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyANewGeneration new My Little Pony film]] and subsequent animated series will be Creator/{{Netflix}} originals, singlehandedly severing the link between Discovery Family and ''My Little Pony'' going forward. Certain seasons of ''Friendship is Magic'' have also been pulled from the rerun cycle, possibly due to a combination of syndication rights expiring and Discovery beginning a process to slowly burn off Hasbro content from the channel in hopes of finding a new CashCowFranchise that can keep it afloat post-2021.

*** Despite the past rumors of Hasbro and Discovery's contract ending in 2021 having been circulated for years, this was completely jossed by 2022, especially even after [[Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery Discovery's merger with WarnerMedia]].

** Tennis Channel is in a similar situation. During major tournaments, particularly the four Grand Slams, it features nearly round-the-clock coverage, but at other times has to fill out its schedule with original programming -- ''Tennisography'', "classic" matches (sometimes cut down to half an hour), ''Best of 5'', ''Destination Tennis'' (a travel show), but all tennis-related. The farthest the channel has drifted from its actual subject (except for the requisite late-night/early-morning filler of infomercials) is an occasional flirtation with badminton or ping pong, but as those are net sports they still easily count (since there will never be a market for The Badminton Channel in the States).
