17	''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', the ''comedy'' half of the WesternAnimation/DCNation lineup, fell into this rather fast and quickly became the new ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' [[AdoredByTheNetwork/SpongeBobSquarePants in terms of overexposure]]. Unsurprisingly, this led to it becoming one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's most popular shows. By 2015, ratings were extraordinarily high, often surpassing that of not just Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and Creator/DisneyChannel, but even shows on [[Creator/{{CBS}} the]] [[Creator/{{NBC}} big]] [[Creator/{{ABC}} four]] [[Creator/{{Fox}} networks]]. So of course the network went on to give it lots of attention. Later on, it became something of the default "filler" show whenever there wasn't a new episode of another series (which is quite often) or when Adult Swim wasn't on, quickly pushing other popular shows except ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' (and even that's debatable) off the schedule almost completely (resulting in a few such as ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' being unceremoniously canceled due to poor ratings, spawning conspiracy theories that Cartoon Network was run by MoralGuardians who deliberately sabotaged any series they found inappropriate for kids by using ''TTG'' to artificially manipulate ratings to justify cancellation). During the summer of 2015, ''Teen Titans Go!'' was practically the only thing that was played aside from what few live-action movies CN still held the rights to, new episodes of original and acquired series, ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', and the Adult Swim block. By the end of 2018, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork the excessive airing of the series began to die down as its popularity waned]], the show's staunchest defenders turned against it, the theatrical movie was considered a box-office disappointment[[note]] it actually did decent for its $10 million budget, making $52 million back, but Creator/WarnerBros wanted $250 million due to the popularity of the series. Unfortunately, they released it at a time the show's popularity was waning[[/note]], and Cartoon Network lost a large portion of its viewership, mainly longtime viewers and kids who switched over to either the other children's networks like {{Creator/Nickelodeon}} and Creator/DisneyChannel[=/=]Creator/DisneyXD, and/or websites and streaming services like {{Platform/YouTube}}, {{Platform/TikTok}}, {{Creator/Netflix}}, Creator/DisneyPlus, Creator/{{Max}}, Creator/ParamountPlus, and Creator/{{Hulu}}. It's been given its own page here because it's one of the most noteworthy and conspicuous examples of ''any'' TV series, animated or otherwise, being overexposed by its network.

24	----
25	!! US Cartoon Network
26	* The show's DC Nation slot was a rerun, with a primetime slot showing new episodes. Promos for it were shown constantly (in contrast, ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'', another DC-related property, had InvisibleAdvertising), and CN even ran marathons of it to fill up the daytime schedule. In just a few episodes, the network had already ordered a second season, while ''Batman'' got pulled from DC Nation entirely (supposedly scheduled for a January return until CN pushed it to an unspecified "first half of 2014" date), all but guaranteeing the latter would get the axe considering [[ScrewedByTheNetwork how little]] CN thinks of action cartoons not aired by Adult Swim or Toonami. By August 2014, ''Teen Titans Go'' was airing '''six times a day''' on weekdays (despite only having 29 half-hour episodes at the time), and little over a year later, the show would air 15 times a day. Even CN's other favorites don't receive that many airings in one day.
27	* On October 26, 2013, DC Nation became 100% ''Teen Titans Go!'' after ''Beware'' was pulled from the schedule, before the block disappeared entirely. ''Beware'' was later written off for taxes, meaning Cartoon Network can't legally air it anymore, forcing Toonami to burn off the remaining seven episodes in one night.
28	* In late 2014, it got to the point where half of Cartoon Network's airtime was divided between it and ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''.
29	* By June 2015, the show aired at least 4-5 hours a day. This forced ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' and ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise'' into premiering in the graveyard slot so reruns could air in the primetime slot (in fact, the former show's first promo didn't air until ''right after the show premiered''). Some series such as the then-upcoming ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Wabbit\| A Looney Tunes Production}}'' were moved to Creator/{{Boomerang}} (though they would end up premiering on Cartoon Network before moving to Boomerang again), while the ''[[WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk DreamWorks Dragons]]'' series was moved to Creator/{{Netflix}} (though this move wasn't without precedent due to an exclusive deal between Netflix and [=DreamWorks=] to air exclusive series based on [=DreamWorks=] properties).
30	* Most TV guides would mix up a rerun of the show with another show starting in Spring 2015, like ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', or ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''. When this happened, one would expect "Puppets, Whaaaaat?", "Serious Business" or "Hot Garbage" to show up instead.
31	** Sometimes, they'll mix up ''Teen Titans Go!'' episodes as well and air a different episode instead of the one that was previously scheduled. For example, during the weekend ''[[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 The Power of Four]]'' was to premiere, they were slated to play "TTG vs. PPG", but "Money Grandma" was played instead.
32	* Specific episodes are also adored, not unlike some of Disney's live-action fare.
33	** In the summer of 2015, the episodes "Mas Y Menos" and "Uncle Jokes" seemed to play every day.
34	** After it premiered, the aforementioned "Serious Business" played every other day, causing the [[DanceSensation Pee-Pee Dance]] to become a {{meme\|ticMutation}} among both the network and the target audience, with said song receiving over 17 million views on [=YouTube=] and even getting its own promo. It even got to the point where reruns of the episode got higher ratings than its '''premiere'''. After the episode took a brief two-year hiatus and returned in September 2017, Cartoon Network now only airs the episode if said day is a holiday (which even extends to minor ones like Rosh Hashanah and President's Day) or to compete with highly-anticipated kids' TV events, like the nationwide return of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' on PBS or the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnoldTheJungleMovie''. This treatment stopped in August 2018, when it returned to the regular rotation.
35	*** In November 2020, "Serious Business" and its sister episode "Thanksgiving" played virtually every other day, usually during the early morning hours.
36	** In the fall of 2015, they began to show "Hey You, Don't Forget About Me in Your Memory" and "I'm the Sauce" every single day of the week. The former episode also went through a phase of being played every weekend for the first 7 weeks of 2019.
37	** In January 2016, they started to play "The Spice Game" every single day.
38	** "Wally T" became the new "Serious Business". At the time of its premiere, there wasn't a day where the episode didn't air at least once.
39	** As of March 2017, "Accept the Next Proposition You Hear", "Operation Dude Rescue" and "Booty Scooty" are the most played episodes. Usually, one of these three will be played twice on the same day.
40	** In the summer of 2017, "Easter Creeps" and "Master Detective" were played every day.
41	** Since the fall of 2017, Cartoon Network will frequently show the two-part episodes to fill up time, playing hour-long episodes on weekends for the same purpose. The one most frequently played is "Operation Dude Rescue", which they show every other day, with "BBRAE!" being played the second most.
42	** In late April 2018, CN started showing "Top of the Titans" (a parody of ''Series/TopOfThePops''), a ClipShow that showcases the top 12 songs in the show, every single day.
43	** In late July 2018, the show's Hollywood special kept playing every other hour, which was somewhat justified as that was the month ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' was released.
44	** Ever since it premiered in June 2018, the episode "Mo Money, Mo Problems" has been getting an insane amount of airplay, sometimes airing twice or three times in the same day.
45	** In the summer of 2019, "Communicate Openly" aired every single day after its premiere, sometimes being shown as much as three times in a single day.
46	** "Butt Atoms" has been shown every other day since it premiered. On some days, it plays twice.
47	** After its premiere, you couldn't go a day without seeing "Rain on Your Wedding Day" on the schedule.
48	** If a certain month has a holiday celebrated, you can expect to see the relevant holiday episode played every day until the month is over, even if the holiday itself has ended. This even extends to episodes celebrating relatively minor holidays such as Daylight Savings Time and the Super Bowl.
49	** Ever since it premiered, "Don't Press Play" has been shown every three to five days.
50	* For the week of June 29 to July 3, 2015 and over the Fourth of July weekend, the network showed literally nothing ''but'' the show [[MilestoneCelebration in celebration of the 100th episode]] (episodes 96-99 also premiered during the week). Except for ''Gumball'', new episodes of ''Ninjago'', airings of ''Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules'' and ''The Smurfs'', and of course, Creator/AdultSwim, the network practically became the ''Teen Titans Go'' Network. Normal schedule patterns returned the next week, reducing the show's presence to roughly 45% of the schedule and re-adding reruns of ''Uncle Grandpa'', ''Gumball'', ''Clarence'', and ''Steven Universe'', plus an additional slot for ''Ninjago'', a very early-morning slot for ''Tom & Jerry Tales'', and even another early morning slot for ''Pokémon''.
51	* However, by August 2015, the amount of ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns was severely dialed back, with ''Regular Show'' recapturing its 7:30 PM timeslot, ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' gaining a one-hour slot in the morning, ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' gaining a one-hour slot right after Creator/AdultSwim, and even ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' returning to air an hour in the morning to promote the ''[[WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa Uncle Grandpa Babies]]'' special.
52	* The series' already large marketing campaign has become even more extensive, with promos airing on non-Turner channels,[[note]]This depends on who your cable/satellite provider is, as they sometimes overwrite ads to air local promos and/or promos for other networks[[/note]] various video streaming sites, and even in some movie theaters. Keep in mind that with the exception of Boomerang, it's rare for Cartoon Network shows to be advertised on other channels owned by Time Warner.
53	** They also ran ads once on Creator/TheCW during Saturday mornings. It helps that Time Warner, the owner of the Turner networks, owns half of that network.
54	** At one point in 2015, ads for the series even ran on the Creator/USANetwork during ''Wrestling/MondayNightRaw''.
55	** One particular promo featuring children getting excited over "The Pee Pee Dance" has been playing every three hours in the local slot on New York cable provider Cablevision for at least a year as of June 2016, appearing on everything from [=DIY=] Network to Creator/ABCFamily's 25 Days of Christmas.
56	* In the fall of 2015, ''Teen Titans Go'' would play in five two-hour blocks on weekdays, sandwiching episodes of ''Wabbit'' and ''Uncle Grandpa''.
57	* The popularity of the show has led to Cartoon Network devoting several programming blocks to the show:
58	** The earliest of these blocks was the weekend morning block ''Teen Titans Go! Top 5'', a rebranding of the original Top 5 introduced in September 2015, where fans of the show picked the top five episodes they wanted to see on TV via the CN website. The length of this block (running from 8AM to 1PM) resulted in shows like ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' being put in [[FridayNightDeathSlot poor time slots on weekends]], and even resulted in ''Pokémon'' moving to Disney XD, where it's been treated ''much'' better. This block would usually be followed by an all-day block of ''Teen Titans Go!''. In the fall of 2017, the latter was shortened from 9AM to 12 Noon to play hour-long blocks of ''Ben 10'' and ''OK KO! Let's Be Heroes'' before and after the block.
59	** One incarnation of the block had all episodes tied into some sort of theme (for example, one day would have episodes focusing on food and another may have episodes that are [[AffectionateParody parodies]] of pop culture.) In January 2018, this block's Sunday run ended. To compromise, Cartoon Network made '''nearly the entire Saturday schedule'''[[note]] with the only other shows on that day's schedule being ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'' and the original ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''[[/note]] comprised of ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns.
60	** In October 2015, the "New Thursdays" block that they had broadcast for over a year was renamed the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwLCGfID2rg "New Titans Thursdays"]] block. Ironically, as of the renaming, new episodes of the show didn't start airing until three weeks after it started. It reverted back to its original name in 2016 before becoming "Yoursdays" in April 2016, a block centered around viewers sending in videos of themselves for the network to play during commercial breaks.
61	** In late January 2017, Cartoon Network added a block called the ''Teen Titans Go! Friday Party'', which was basically a 9-hour marathon of ''Teen Titans Go!'' to premiere new episodes of the show. Sometimes, during this block, other shows had new episodes, like PPG 2016, but only ''TTG'' was advertised in promos. Because people thought it was just another TTG-centric block, few viewers tuned in and the ratings for each of the shows on the block went down ''drastically'', including ''TTG''. The block was cancelled in April 2017.
62	** After the ''Friday Party'' block was done away with, Cartoon Network debuted the ''Summertime Go!'' (as in ''Teen Titans Go!'') block in June 2017. Headed by seven hours of ''TTG'', the block aired on Fridays and had new episodes of ''TTG'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016''. New episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' and the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' were expected to premiere sometime within the next couple months. In July, however, the block was ignored due to a month-long bomb of ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'' episodes, where viewers used the [=MagiMobile=] app to collect swords based on Cartoon Network shows such as ''TTG'', ''Steven Universe'', ''Gumball'', ''We Bare Bears'', and ''Ben 10 2016''. By the time ''Bears'' and ''K.O.'' finally premiered new episodes, the block was discontinued.
63	** In September 2017, Cartoon Network shifted its night of major premieres to Friday, consisting of new episodes of ''Teen Titans Go!'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', and ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears''. More emphasis was put on ''TTG'' than the other shows (yet again), with nine hours of the show playing before the start of the block, with only a movie (or an hour long rerun of one of their other shows) interrupting it. The promos for the block also said "It all starts with a new ''Teen Titans Go!'' at 6:00!", and the new ''Titans'' episodes were always promoted outside of the block.
64	** To promote the four-way crossover amongst this show, ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'', Cartoon Network aired a block called "Raven Domination", which featured episodes centered on Raven, since she was in the aforementioned crossover.
65	* On November 1, 2015, they aired "Serious Business" / "Thanksgiving" and "Let's Get Serious" / "Hose Water" back-to-back twice in a row, despite TV guides listing ''Clarence'' and ''Uncle Grandpa'' and the episodes "Waffles" / "Opposites" and "Pirates" / "I See You".
66	* Averted starting around mid-November 2015, with the show only being rerun four times a day and with ''Adventure Time'', ''Regular Show'' and ''Steven Universe'' reruns returning in force. This allowed ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'', yet another Canadian import, to make its American debut, which itself unfortunately became another victim of screwing by Cartoon Network. In fact, ''Teen Titans Go!'' eventually got the spotlight over ''Supernoobs'' when it interrupted the show's comeback from an eight-month hiatus after two weeks and stole its plans to air new episodes while replacing them with ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns.
67	* In January 2016, the series once again regained its grip on the schedule. This time around, they were mainly confined to mornings and mid-weekdays, with only one primetime weekday slot. In fact, Cartoon Network showed an ''Adventure Time'' marathon on MLK Day rather than a ''Teen Titans Go!'' marathon.
68	* In February 2016, it seemed to be averted. According to TV Guide, weekdays had zero ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns, with reruns of ''The Garfield Show'', several ''Total Drama'' series and even ''Johnny Test'' returning to the schedule. In addition, ''Adventure Time'', ''Regular Show'' and ''Steven Universe'', the three shows that many had theorized as being marginalized by network management for censorship reasons, regained a more regular rerun schedule. Unfortunately, though, it was just an error caused by TV Guide accidentally showing a schedule from early-mid 2014 (when ''TTG'' had about as much airtime as any other series before it dominated the schedule starting in 2015), a mistake that was rectified two days later.
69	* In 2015, ''three restaurants'' (Sonic, Wendy's and Burger King) had given away toys based on the show, a feat that had never been accomplished before by any kids' property in North America.
70	** A year and a half later, UsefulNotes/McDonalds gave away toys based on the show, making it the first time a licensed property appeared at all 4 nationwide restaurants that have licensed tie-ins in kids' meals[[note]]This excludes White Castle, Hardee's[=/=]Carl's Jr, Sonic, (all of whom are regional), Subway (whose kids meal promotions mostly cover properties owned by Disney as of 2019), Dairy Queen (which no longer features toys in their kids meals), Jack in the Box, Arby's, KFC, Taco Bell (all of whom have not done licensed tie-ins since their ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'', ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnythingAVeggieTalesMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' promotions, respectively), Sbarro (who's last known licensed kids meal promotion was for the ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' video ''Come on Over to Barney's House'' back in 2000), and Chick-Fil-A (who's kids meal promotions are mostly for religious edutainment properties)[[/note]], something that took Nickelodeon counterpart ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' 11 years to do.
71	* The show has a [[http://tvshowsondvd.com/news/Teen-Titans-Season-1/20964 Blu-ray release]], making it one of the handful of Warner Bros. cartoons to receive this treatment.
72	* Ever since it premiered in 2014, you couldn't watch Cartoon Network every weekend without seeing the episode "Caged Tiger" / Hose Water" at least once, since the first segment was (before the premiere of "Serious Business") the highest-rated episode of the show.
73	** "Caged Tiger" is loved so much by Cartoon Network that, as of March 2016, it'll show up after any given movie airing to round out time, similar to what happened with ''Adventure Time'' at the peak of its popularity.
74	* It's the only currently airing kids' show not on Creator/PBSKids [[OutOfHolidayEpisode that has holiday-themed episodes in regular rotation]]. [[note]]The ''[=SpongeBob=]'' episodes "Fools in April" and "Bubble Buddy" (the latter taking place on Leif Erikson Day) don't count.[[/note]] For example, "Thanksgiving" was frequently played in early 2015 due to being paired with "Serious Business" (one of the show's most popular episodes), "How 'Bout Some Effort" played even after Valentine's Day passed, "Black Friday" is aired every other day, and "The True Meaning of Christmas" will often play every two weeks.
75	** Even more peculiar, "More of the Same", an episode about the New Year, premiered in the United States nearly ''five months'' (July 30) before New Year's Eve. Most countries, such as the United Kingdom [[note]]only the Cartoon Network UK run, [=CiTV=] aired the episode early too[[/note]] and Australia, actually waited to air it until New Year's.
76	* [[http://out-of-my-interest.tumblr.com/post/132995341610 Here's]] a chart of a typical weekly Cartoon Network schedule near the end of 2015, in which ''TTG'' takes up ''64%'' of the weekly airtime. Even ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' rarely hits this level of network favoritism.
77	* In May 2016, airings of the show were cut down once again. The show aired for 3.5 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends.
78	* Cartoon Network's Website/YouTube channel formerly had ''[[https://images-cdn.moviepilot.com/image/upload/c_limit,h_1200,q_auto,w_960/vam8e5jaiutl3qlr6wnn.jpg Teen Titans Go!]]'' as the sole show represented in its banner, further presenting ''TTG'' as a flagship property of the network. It has since been replaced with a banner representing a variety of shows on the network until that one was replaced with a ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'' banner for a week.
79	* During the week of September 19, 2016, the show was reduced to 38% of the schedule, airing 5 hours a day at most, yielding to airings of ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', and even ''WesternAnimation/WhatsNewScoobyDoo''.
80	* It got to the point where Cartoon Network will shoehorn ''Teen Titans Go!'' in promos to hype up new series. For example, the promos for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r7I09DAMWM the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6anrDYEacg premieres]] of ''WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' (which, if you're wondering, was the only promo the latter show got).
81	* The TV movie ''Island Adventures'' is loved by Cartoon Network so much that they'll often use it to fill time that can't be taken up by more ''Teen Titans Go!'' episodes. Sometimes, as was the case during a marathon commemorating the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/MyKnightAndMe'', the movie will air twice.
82	* [[https://cnschedulearchive.tumblr.com/image/157169318310 This]] was Cartoon Network's broadcast schedule for the week of February 13, 2017. Notice all 159 of those yellow rectangles? They all represent every single time ''Teen Titans Go!'' aired that week. If you look in the upper right-hand corner, you'll notice a breakdown by percentages, where ''TTG'' takes up 50 percent of the airtime for Cartoon Network in that week.[[note]] You may also notice that ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', the show with the second highest amount of airings, only averages 70 airings compared to ''TTG'''s 159. The show ''with the second most amount of airings doesn't even get'' '''''half''''' ''of the airings TTG gets''.[[/note]]
83	** By late February and early March, ''TTG'' averaged around 180 airings per week, and the schedule was changed to only include ''TTG'', ''Gumball'' and ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'', save for any new episodes of other shows and some movies. Shows besides the "Big Three" weren't even rerun at all. [[https://cnschedulearchive.tumblr.com/image/158317213595 No, seriously.]]
84	*** Ironically, "Titans Saving Time", the episode that premiered that week, ended up being the first ''TTG'' episode to [[EndOfAnEra dip below a million viewers on its premiere]].
85	*** ''We Bare Bears'' rejoined the lineup in late March to the relief of many. In April, the only 5 shows on the schedule were the aforementioned "Big Three", with ''We Bare Bears'' and ''Ben 10 2017''. ''Adventure Time'' rejoined the lineup on April 24 in time for the ''Elements'' miniseries, with ''Steven Universe'' returning in May.
86	*** On June 16, 2017, ''Teen Titans Go!'''s Friday airings were watched by 0.9 million people, which resulted in the network putting more reruns of the show on the schedule the following week.
87	* However, starting on April 23, reruns were being severely dialed back again, yielding to hourlong blocks of ''Steven Universe'' reruns, a glut of movies and ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'' and ''We Bare Bears'' reruns, and the ''Adventure Time'' miniseries ''Elements''. This continued into May and June, with more reruns of said shows airing, particularly ''The Amazing World of Gumball''. ''Adventure Time'' reruns were still absent, though they finally returned in June, airing on Mondays in a one-hour block.
88	** Along with ''Gumball'' and ''Ben 10 2016'', the series still ended up taking up most of the slots with the occasional movies, several of which are live-action (and are the only live-action programming left on the network following the infamous ''CN Real'' era). ''Steven Universe'' barely had any rerun time (with three of its season 4 episodes compiled into an hour long block - granted, that's still more than what ''Transformers: Robots in Disguise'' or ''Sonic Boom'' get). ''We Bare Bears'' and ''Clarence'' got the occasional showing, but ''Uncle Grandpa'' had a one-and-done showing of new episodes just to get to cancellation quicker.
89	* In July 2017, about 80% of Cartoon Network's daily schedule was made up of some combination of ''Titans'', ''Gumball'', or ''Ben 10'', with occasional movies and episodes of ''We Bare Bears'', ''Clarence'' and ''Steven Universe'' (in that order in terms of frequency) making up most of the rest.
90	* However, starting on September 25, 2017, the show averaged four hours from Monday to Thursday, yielding to airings of ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'', ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'', ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in September 2016), and ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2017'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in May). However, this happened at the expense of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTales'', which was dropped from the schedule entirely.
91	** However, after a week, ''Tom and Jerry'', ''Looney Tunes'' and ''Cloudy'' were pulled and replaced with ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' movies, reruns of the original ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in August 2016), and ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' (returning to the schedule after being removed in July)
92	* A feature film appropriately titled ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' was released on July 27, 2018, making ''Teen Titans Go!'' the second Cartoon Network show after ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie'', the first general Cartoon Network movie since ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddysBigPictureShow'', and the second WB animated series after ''WesternAnimation/BatmanMaskOfThePhantasm'' to get one.
93	* For the two-part special "Titans Got Talent" (an interactive special where viewers voted for which character wins), CN started not a website, but a hotline. Keep in mind that it's rare for any show to do this, especially since the rise of Internet polls.
94	* By mid-October, the reruns were once again somewhat dialed back, although it's still by far the most frequently broadcast show on the network. Episodes of ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', reruns of the original ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'' were added on weekdays, as were various movies, so ''Teen Titans Go!'' ultimately took up about a third of a typical daytime schedule.
95	* In February 2018, ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'', and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' were temporarily removed from the weekday schedule, and only ''TTG'', ''Unikitty'', ''We Bare Bears'', and ''Gumball'' remained (''OK KO'', ''Teen Titans'', and ''Ben 10 2016'' were kept on weekends, however).
96	* In 2018, they started showing themed compilations of the show, ranging from a half-hour to an hour in length[[note]] similar to what Nickelodeon has done with ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse''[[/note]], with new ones premiering every Friday. They tended to be themed around random topics and served the purpose of padding out time slots on other days of the week. Some of these included "Tooth Fairy Fun", "Beast Boy's Best Beasts" and "Pizza Party!".
97	* Beginning with the week of April 23, 2018, reruns of the show were dialed back significantly, now averaging around four hours per day while yielding the timeslots it used to hog to other series such as ''Craig of the Creek'', ''OK KO'', ''We Bare Bears'', ''Gumball'', ''Ben 10'', and even ''Adventure Time''.
98	* As of August 2018, the show now averages 5 hours on weekends.
99	* ''TTG'''s Raven was cast as one of the main protagonists in the ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' episode "[[Recap/OKKOLetsBeHeroesS2E18CrossoverNexus Crossover Nexus]]", airing on October 8, 2018, as a character from the show [[MetaCasting most emblematic of CN's scheduling as the episode went into production]].
100	* The marathon treatment of the show died down after the one that promoted ''Teen Titans Go! To the Movies'', likely due to the show's popularity rapidly declining after ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'' beat the show in ratings, as well as criticisms of the show now overshadowing any defenders it has left. This is also likely due to how much the movie made, as having a budget of $10 million made it easy for the movie to make slightly more than five times that at $52 million, but because Warner Bros. had demanded $250 million, it was still deemed a failure. In fact, Cartoon Network is starting to give more airtime to other shows as of October 2018, like ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'', and ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'' (with occassional reruns of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', the annual airing of the "Terror Tales of the Park" episodes of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' at Halloween time, and starting in the last week or so of 2018, even the original ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaIsland'' made a surprise return, with the first five seasons being aired in sequence over the coming months to help promote the spin-off). The movie, as a matter of fact, was actually ScrewedByTheNetwork to some extent, getting surprisingly little advertising, indicating that the previous trend of airing as many ''TTG'' reruns as possible is over and the network is now trying to mend fences with the longtime viewers who jumped ship for Nickelodeon and Disney XD.
101	** Another sign of the adoration dying down is the shortening of the show's marathons, usually those played before a new episode. In the past, marathons went from Cartoon Network's sign-on to Adult Swim's sign-on. This is indicative of the network cutting back on the amount of reruns the show gets, most likely due to a combination of rapidly declining ratings, the movie based on the show only doing mildly well at the box office, and major rerun fatigue that not even Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} would consider doing with [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarepants their]] [[WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol biggest]] [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse shows]].
102	** Another instance of the show falling out of the network's favor can be seen in scheduling on the day of a highly-anticipated series finale. When ''Regular Show'' aired its final episode in January 2017, a TTG marathon was held before and after the finale, a sign that Cartoon Network did not care much about the show ending and wanted it gone (it all but disappeared from the network thereafter, aside from annual airings of the popular "Terror Tales of the Park" episodes around Halloween time). Conversely, when ''Adventure Time'' aired its series finale on Labor Day 2018, ''TTG'' respectfully stood on the sidelines to allow what was once Cartoon Network's flagship series (and the one that ended the network's first AudienceAlienatingEra when it premiered in 2010) to go out with dignity, with CN not airing a single episode that day in favor of an ''Adventure Time'' marathon. This scenario repeated itself on March 27, 2020, when ''Steven Universe'' aired an all-day marathon leading up to the four-part series finale of the ''Steven Universe Future'' epilogue series, and once again, TTG allowed it to end on a high note. This scenario would repeat itself months later, when ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'' aired a three-day marathon leading up to a limited commercial premiere of the [[WesternAnimation/WeBareBearsTheMovie series]]' FinaleMovie, and the (grown-up, as CN is preparing ''[[SpinoffBabies We Baby Bears]]'') bears were given a proper send-off.
103	** As of May 2019, even holiday marathons, which were usually held to either promote a new episode or to compete with the offerings of rival channels, [[note]]usually new episodes of ratings rivals ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'' on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} [[/note]] have stopped. On Memorial Day, for instance, the schedule for the channel was the channel's normal schedule, the exact opposite of what Nickelodeon did that day,[[note]] They showed a marathon of ''WesternAnimation/PAWPatrol'', followed by a marathon of ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', which were both done to promote new episodes[[/note]] despite the premiere episode being aired that day being a hype-up about [[SixthRanger a sixth member of the team]].
104	* Delta Airlines promoted ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' more than any other one they've had on board on their website, with it appearing as featured every single month since it came out. May be a [[Main/SubvertedTrope subversion]], since this could merely be Warner Bros. desperately trying to recoup the losses incurred by the movie.
105	** Several other international airlines also featured this movie for their in-flight entertainment options for the same reason.
106	* As of June 13, 2020, the Saturday schedule consists of nothing but ''Teen Titans Go!'', ''Craig of the Creek'' and ''The Amazing World of Gumball''.
107	* As of August 2020, the series' presence on the network has been ''severely'' reduced. The amount of airtime the show gets is now much more reasonable, and reruns of series such as ''WesternAnimation/CraigOfTheCreek'', ''WesternAnimation/VictorAndValentino'', ''WesternAnimation/MaoMaoHeroesOfPureHeart'', ''WesternAnimation/AppleAndOnion'', ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'', ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'', and even ''WesternAnimation/Ben102016'' are more prominent, as well as those of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' and ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', two shows that had ended by this point.
108	* On the week of October 19, 2020, Cartoon Network changed their weekend schedule to feature almost nothing[[note]]save for reruns of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama'' on Saturday, and ''Anime/BakuganBattlePlanet'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' premieres on Sunday[[/note]] but ''Teen Titans Go!'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'', with the former airing for ''eight hours'' on Saturday and almost as much on Sunday.
109	* By June 2021, the amount of ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns have dropped below 100 airings a week.
110	* Starting September 13, 2021, with Creator/{{Cartoonito}} taking up much of Cartoon Network's schedule space (to the point of Cartoon Network only having six hours of programming that isn't Cartoonito or Adult Swim on weekdays), ''Teen Titans Go!'' is now airing around [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E_VHcqQVUAIlmAY?format=jpg&name=large 60 airings a week]]. However, they still find ways to sneak more in, such as [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FER7s9PVkAEQhfP?format=jpg&name=large briefly reducing Cartoonito's airtime for character themed marathons the week before Thanksgiving 2021]].
111	* On the week of April 24th- April 30th, 2023, the show had a week-long marathon to celebrate it's tenth anniversary, which was actually on the day before the marathon started.
112	!!International Feeds
113	* If there was an absolute king of this trope internationally, it would most definitely be the UK feed of Cartoon Network, who seems to have been fueled by this trope since mid-2017 after several years of airing it reasonably:
114	** In mid-August 2017, a lion's share of the weekly schedule was taken up by ''TTG'', ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' and ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'', with almost every other show shoved to nighttime slots or vanishing completely. It got to the point where a total of ''four'' CN originals [[note]]''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Clarence}}'', ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' and ''WebAnimation/MightyMagiswords''[[/note]] were put on hiatuses until March 2018, when they finally received new episodes in a localized version of CN US' "NEW NEW NEW NEW Fridays" block.
115	** The show doesn't just air on the local Cartoon Network, but on ''free-to-air kids' channel Creator/{{CITV}}'', which airs some episodes that Cartoon Network doesn't air that often. CITV's run even surpassed CN US' run at one point, let alone CN UK's.
116	** The UK feed suffers from the repeated episodes problem, too. Two particular blocks tend to play every weekend: the same hour-long block that contains "Tower Renovation" and "Serious Business", and the half-hour block with "Smile Bones" and "Real Boy Adventures", with the latter sometimes appearing two days in a row.
117	*** Since its UK premiere in July 2019, the episode "Nostalgia Is Not a Substitute for an Actual Story" seems to play almost every day.
118	* In France, the show airs three to four times a day on not just the local Cartoon Network, but [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_4 France 4]], part of the public broadcaster that focuses on younger audiences. Compared to its [[BrokenBase reputation in America]], however, it's [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff a lot more popular in France]]. That, and even on two channels, it still airs less compared to the American feed.
119	* In Canada, Creator/{{Teletoon}} airs four and a half hours of ''Teen Titans Go!'' daily, though it still airs less compared to the American feed of Cartoon Network, especially after Teletoon became a 24-hour channel. On the other hand, apart from the occasional airing of the {{Crossover}} episode with ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'', the Canadian feed of Cartoon Network hasn't aired ''Teen Titans Go!'' since September 2017.
120	* As of September 2020, the Italian feed of Cartoon Network airs the show at least 20 times each weekday, second behind ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''. The show is so adored in Italy that it's gotten to the point where the network's timeshift channel will become a temporary pop-up channel dedicated to nothing but this show, which will last for '''11 days''', beating the infamous US Christmas 2017 marathon and the Nordic Sportlov 2020 marathon by ''over 600 episodes''.
121	* In fact, this marathon has now been beaten by Cartoon Network UK, who in 2022 decided to classify September as “Teen Titans Go! Month” and aired the show for 16 hours every day from the 5th to the 30th, making the marathon over 400 hours long, doubling the amount of hours the Italian pop-up channel had.
