Zaslav has gotten to the point absolutely any replacement can only be an improvement.

Common Zaslav L.

They're practically begging people to either go to other studios or to go indie at this point. There's no way anybody is going to try to pitch a short to them after this, short of a drastic change in management

I remember back in the ye old days of the late 2010s, where my biggest dream was working at the entertainment industry as a professional animator. But those times have changed (not the animator part though) and frankly, it was for the best. Unless Cartoon Cartoons gets saved by a different network, there's no telling what other catastrophes Zaslav will do to the other brands (like Discovery Kids or [adult swim]).

I have heard that Gwen is a lot nicer in the Ben 10 reboot than in the original. True or false?

You'd be better off asking in the Ben 10 topic to be honest

@Toon Abby: Discovery Kids already stopped existing, but to its credit, its successor Discovery Family Channel DOES have a healthy variety of cartoons.

Discovery Kids does exist outside the USA and in those territories, it is too profitable to have Zaslav ruin it so he leaves it alone.

It's true. Overall bickering levels between Ben and Gwen significantly dropped.

Making things worse, Cartoon Network apparently threatens to blacklist creators if they try to sell their pilots to other networks.

[up] It's like Zaslav secretly wants the Cartoon Network brand to die.

[up][up] I have so much respect for Nickelodeon now. Say whatever you will about them, you get to see cool shorts like The Ballad of Bea And Cad and others and dont just bury them alive and then blacklisting the creators when they DARE take their shows elsewhere.

Absolutely awful. CN got to do Advcnture Time and a new era of animation was born, can you imagine what would happen if Nick did this?

Does anyone have any good news regarding CN? Things are really looking bleak right now.

So we finally have Max here and I decided to check both local and VPN-USA of CN and man it's saddening to see CN being so barren. Even the Boomerang part is kinda small. Where's Jellystone?

[up][up][up]Schedule variety is a lot better now than it was in 2015-20 where they were spamming Teen Titans Go and Gumball and not giving other shows space to shine.

I think with Comcast spinning its cable channels into a separate company, the writing is on the wall:

If Comcast is calling it quits, the cable apocalypse may happen sooner than we think. I think weaker players like Warner Bros and Paramount are more dependent on cable revenue than stronger players like Disney and Comcast, so that might mean CN and Nickelodeon safe for a bit, but in the long term it doesn't look good.

[up] That would be, if Rick And Morty hadnt been just as big a success on streaming. Adult Swim is doing well in ratings but even them will die out if cable itself is being phased out.

Dexter was removed a couple of years ago.

^ It's playing on the "Checkered Past" block on lineal Cartoon Network. Regular Show is also playing at 4:00 PM. (Though not right now; the network is playing a Teen Titans Go marathon for Thanksgiving week.)

[up] Except for Teen Titans Go!, it seems to be Cartoon Network's (and by extension Zaslav's) darling, as always.
