Cartoon Network Ends Toonami
In response to declining viewership, The Cartoon Network ended its Toonami programming block on Saturday, September 20, after 11 years. The Toonami Jetstream online streaming service will reportedly continue. Furthermore, reportedly the Cartoon Network presently has 15 more unaired episodes of Naruto which will air, but the future of the series on the Cartoon Network beyond those 15 episodes is uncertain.
At this past weekend’s Anime Weekend Atlanta convention, Cartoon Network representatives announced that the network is persuing broadcast rights to the 2006 Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z anime television series, based on the American Powerpuff Girls cartoon. Cartoon Network representatives also admitted that the current broadcast of Code Geass “is not doing well at all.”

In related news, apparently running programs so late that your audience would rather DVR or download them produces inferior results to airing shows in the afternoon block that the network was built on. Don’t worry; you’ll still get low-budget stoner humor, which is what really matters.
There are too many issues that effect[ed] the now defunt Toonami programming block to name here… but damn, Toonami had some good times didn’t it?
Cartoon Network’s up and coming Friday evening programming will absorb any left-over viewers that once latched onto Toonami late; subsequently furthering the network’s creative overhaul that began more than a calendar year ago.
