Why are some TV channels terrible now?
I watched Cartoon Network and Boomerang non stop as a kid, but now I see that all of the good shows are now gone and ended, and Boomerang no longer runs any past TV shows. Nick Toons also has a problem as well. Even MTV sunked low when they stopped airing good music videos and Beavis & Butthead.
What in the world happened? |

The demand for quality programming slips with the decreased ratings, something that is happening to tradtional TV and cable across the board. One of the channels you mentioned, Nicktoons, is in such a bad state that it's effectively used as a dumping ground for shows doomed for cancellation.

 Actually, there are many factors: 1: Children's Television Act 2: Traditional scheudled television (and radio) are lying on their deathbeds, as Internet streaming services take over. |

I remember being so excited about the Cartoon Network back when it was created. Same thing with the Sci-Fi channel. I remember being so disappointed when each went to original programming.
But that was back before vintage stuff was so accessible via DVD, Streaming and general download. For a while, it was hopeful that CN and SF were going to have all of that obscure 70's and 80's material on it. |

To be honest, streaming services suck too. I want to watch THIS show, not 'shows similar to this show', and I am not gonna sub to 50 different streaming sites when you used to be able to watch most of those shows with only one basic cable subscription.
