Nielsen Ratings
Networks know how many people watch tv shows, such as Friends, by the Nielsen Ratings. The Nielsen Ratings let television companies know what shows are being watched and how popular they are.
The answer is simple. It is to torture kids with suckish shows that get no good ratings whatsoever. The rating of the kids' shows is from TV-Y to TV-Y7, the lowest ratings there are in TV. Also, there are only new episodes added once every two months for only one show, so you keep watching the same show every day! Basically, PBS is only a garbage dump for the rejected/old shows from Cartoon Network, Nick, and Disney Channel, and is laughed at by all of the kids in America.
A television channel with shows that focus mainly on technology and videogames.
Yes. Both shows have ended.

Nielsen rating
In America at least, you need to have a Nielsen box which records what shows you watch. The average person's viewing habits really have no effect on the ratings on TV shows. I have read that somehow ratings are tallied from DVR playbacks but I haven't the foggiest how that happens as I don't own a DVR.
