Is Cartoon Network out of the big 3 in childrens broadcasting?

Answer 1

Well, the top three corporations that I know in childrens broadcasting are Disney, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon network. However, over the years, Cartoon Network has lost a lot of ratings to Disney, and especially Nickelodeon.

The truth is Cartoon Network is really going under (may'be excluding adult swim). Back in the 90's Cartoon network was at the top, Disney had just started producing it's horribly cheesy shows, and Nick was at the bottom (this was before spongebob). Come the mid-2000's, Cartoon Network realized it needed some new shows, and Adult Swim had now had Robot Chicken. But Nickelodeon now had spongebob, which after it's movie debut, was higher than ever, but this was perhaps nick's only high ranking show, leaving it neck and neck with disney. By then however, Nick and Disney produced seperate channels for their classic shows, NickToons and ToonDisney, CN on the other hand, was cancelling classic shows and replacing them with low scorers. The late 2000's were a great year for live action shows. Disney being top in this category for years made Nick up it's game, fired up Drake and Josh, and Zoey 101, and both series were given multiple films based off of them. Live action shows were very uncommon in CN, (notice the word cartoon in the title) and nearly all of them never lasted beyond 2 or more seasons. CN hosts small events, usually held in minor cities, while Nick and Disney host multiple events

like the kids choice awards, Disney 365, and have their own cruises, resorts, and theme parks. SO NOW AFTER ALL THIS YAKKING, I will say this........

Yes.......

Cartoon Network is almost gone, forced to sell their new shows to C.W., and buy back old from other networks............ and they are sitting on the edge of the cliff....... and someone whether it be Disney, Nick, or someone else, is going to boot them off......................
