Family Guy will end it's syndication run the week of August 17th or 18th, Bob's Burgers will cease September 1st

Simpsons will remain as the only animated offering (although I've heard rumours it will become a Disney+ exclusive worldwide by 2026)

They’re staying on FX...and I assume Freeform also being Disney. Now that I think of it those are the only channels I see reruns. Well Bob does also air on CN/Adult Swim.

That's... Unsettling. What does this even indicate? That the shows are doing poorly or that the streaming services need all the exclusivity that they can get? Regardless of which, Bob's Burgers has 273 episodes and Family Guy has even more at 424, it's kind of weird to think pulling either from syndication is a worse move than to make them exclusive to a streaming service.

Theyre probably going to leave any network that's not associated with Fox/Disney, like TBS and Cartoon Network. If it's FX or Freeform it's probably staying.

Welp apparently Disney licensed Family Guy to Comedy Central, starts airing there in September.
