Why Did Cartoon Network Disappear For Many Viewers?

Cartoon Network has disappeared for many viewers across the United States, who no longer have access to it and Adult Swim. What's going on with Xfinity, and why is the channel gone? With this move, cable proves that it doesn't have much of a future, while streaming is here to stay.

My household has been experiencing a similar situation for a little under 3 years now; it will have been exactly 3 years when July 29th comes around and over three years for the remainder of 2021, so the cycle repeats after that 😂. After The Walt Disney Company completed its full acquisition of 21st Century Fox on March 20, 2019, it inherited the entirety of the since-rebranded Fox Sports Networks, including the YES Network (a 26-20-15-13-13-13 joint venture between New York Yankees owner Yankee Global Enterprises, Hunt Valley, Maryland-based Sinclair Broadcast Group, Amazon, The Blackstone Group, RedBird Capital, and Mubadala Investment Company, a public joint-stock company that is owned by the United Arab Emirates government, respectively), which carries the New York Yankees, the Brooklyn Nets, the New York Liberty (WNBA) and New York City FC (MLS). On July 29 of that year, Disney, while in the process of divesting the regional sports networks as required by the United States Department of Justice, entered into a carriage dispute with Englewood, Colorado-based television provider DISH Network, and it remains unresolved to this day. On August 22, almost one month later, Disney sold the regional sports networks to Diamond Sports Group, which is a 50-50 joint venture between Sinclair Broadcast Group and Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios, the latter of which is headquartered in the City of Los Angeles's Century City neighborhood and owner of The Weather Channel. That means Diamond Sports Group inherited Disney's side of the carriage dispute with DISH. On January 2, 2020, Diamond Sports Group entered into a carriage dispute with FuboTV; February 29, 2020: the Fox Sports Networks, the YES Network, and the Marquee Sports Network (which had launched exactly one week earlier and is co-owned by Sinclair and the Chicago Cubs) are dropped from KZbin TV; and October 22, 2020, the Fox Sports Networks, the YES Network, and the Marquee Sports Network are dropped from Hulu. On January 27, 2021, Diamond Sports Group announced the Fox Sports Networks would be rebranded as the Bally Sports Regional Networks, due to Bally's Corporation purchasing the naming rights, with Fox Sports Carolinas and Fox Sports Tennessee being discontinued, starting on March 31, 2021. Programming from those two channels has since been shifted over to Bally Sports South and Bally Sports Southeast. The fact that these carriage disputes have remained unresolved is absolutely unacceptable and a slap in the face to consumers and sports fans across the country, specifically DISH Network/Sling TV customers, and subscribers to FuboTV, KZbin TV, and Hulu. And yes, I know this is a long comment lol.

Comcast owns 33% of Hulu until 2024. After that, Disney will likely buy the remaining share. Disney and Disney XD shows have Disney +, and Nickelodeon shows have Paramount +. Cartoon Network is currently available on both HBO Max and Hulu, but after 2024, they will likely only be available on HBO Max. This change will also likely mean that Star finally comes to Disney + in the U.S. To make up for the loss of both the Disney content moving to Disney Plus, and the Comcast content moving to HBO Max (if I’m working this out in my head correctly), ESPN+ could be absorbed into Hulu, turning it into Hulu+, since Hulu already has live sports, making the current separation of the two a bit redundant. Maybe this could be the topic of a video! It’s know it’s really not my place to tell you what to make, but it would be interesting to hear what you think of the subject. Edit: I have no idea where the Sony Spider Man movies would go. I think that depends on if Apple buys Sony, in which case the film rights would go to Disney. But I’m not even sure about all of those logistics.

We have great channels on television such as the TCM, AMC, Smithsonian, Nat Geo Wild and PBS, watching the local news is important, if you love sports you can watch it on cable, commercials can be entertaining to watch and you don’t need internet for cable.

At least CN is still there. Over here i got a Kids Package and it includes CN and Nicktoons (as well as some others). Last year they completely removed Disney XD and now they remove Nicktoons :/

[@RB01.10]

@Gavin Longino Not surprising, as I predict Nicktoons and Disney XD will follow suit. Who even watches them anymore?

[@Impstar]

I used to have CN on in the background all the time, now it is gone premium. I already watch 3 streaming platforms, I will not add HBO Max just to have CN on it. I will say RIP to CN being on in the background of my household and just randomly pick another background network. I also used to watch a bunch of shows they cancelled so to me this is just "meh", but it was a staple of the late 90s. A part of me will miss CN but it had to happen sooner or later.

[@SonGoku-pq5om]

I only watch netflix, hulu, and funimation. I'm not really sad that it's gone because CN is pretty boring these days.

My family upgraded to any three of the "Preferred" xfinity cable packages, but when I try to log in to xfinity via adult swim's simulcast page, xfinity assumes that I no longer have Cartoon Network and adult swim despite upgrading the programming packages. Now I can't watch adult swim or the Saturday Toonami shows three hours ahead of the others due to unexplained problems.

Bro i woke up this morning thinking some Gumball was gonna be on but my TV was on a completely different CHANNEL. I was watching Family Guy/Rick and Morty as usual at night and went to sleep, and then found out the hard way that i can only watch Cartoon Network on my TV in the Den 😐

[@LuminousGaming1]

I miss the old days back when you’d turn on cable and you can see the name of the episode and you’d probaly click and it would be either in the middle of the show or on commercial , and back when Cartoon Network had those nostalgic bumpers commercials and C&N were the mascots . And when they’d announce new episodes of the shows. Was always a great time for me to look foward to a new day

[@lazyRider420]

Rip quality Money is Cartoon Networks new freind

[@user-oq9pz6tt9x]

What makes me so sad about the slow death of cable is that few people even seem to care, because the entertainment that they care about is either being released on a streaming service or isn’t currently ongoing. There are actually a lot of shows that are currently releasing on cable, and even if a lot of them get rightfully labeled as “new, modern crap,” there are good ones too, some of which are on Cartoon Network. Watching episodes as they come out does matter to a lot of people, myself included, and it’s sad to see it kind of dying away.

[@ZDOH1]

its still missing for me rip

[@imaginationstudios8yt]

Why watch cable and streaming when you can just be a pirate

[@cookieridergirl]

I think in the end this is just a change that cable is doing to hurt Cartoon Network. Maybe I’m reading it wrong. But it sounds like Comcast didn’t want to pay the prices Cartoon Network wanted to offer it on their extended cable. So they said instead we will switch you to a higher package. Now Cartoon Network is going to get less views and lower ratings because of it. So either Cartoon Network works out a price that makes Comcast happy or Comcast forces the customer to pay higher prices. Either way Comcast is trying to save or get more money. I don’t believe this would be a move Cartoon Network themselves would ask for because again they will get less views than their competitors (Disney channel and Nickelodeon) who are still on the extended basic. Plus both Disney channel and nickelodeon have options already on the preferred list so they are getting a piece of both pies. Where as I’m not sure if Cartoon Network had a secondary channel but they just lost their flag ship channel from the expanded basic list. I think the more Comcast makes changes like this in the hopes of getting customers to pay more money, they will just bring the death to cable much sooner. As most customers who had been receiving these options for many years being told they now need the premium packages just to watch it when it was hard enough on the extended basic packages will be like, we’re done. And switch to streaming or other outlets completely rather than put up with even higher prices. It might be a small win for Comcast for the limited amount of people who are willing to make that change. But in the long run they will find that most customers are not and are more willing to leave all together, effectively killing cable.
