Cartoon Network To Be Rebranded?

[ZariusTwo]

This recent "CN Cancelation" scare has resulted in some curious inquiries, most notiably this answer from a Network insider.

"Steve, I've been here for a bunch of years now, and the first thing I heard when I arrived was that Time-Warner couldn't have two animation divisions, that we were going to merge with Warner Bros. Animation. We're still here. It's true that the division is being retooled and reworked. We haven't been doing well in the ratings, like we're a distant third after the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. But we've got several different series going, Out of Jimmy's Head, Foster's , Chowder, Flapjack, Transformers, Ben 10 and some new series in development. But no question that we're going through changes..."
"...The new head of the division is doing analyses of what kinds of shows we'll be doing, seeing if we'll do more live action, since the Disney Channel is being real succesful with their live action shows and movies. But we're still in the cartoon business..."

Kamen Rider is already one of the Network's recent aqqusistions, and the live-action Ben 10 movie was probably another test of an audience for alternatives to animation. CN wont be shut down, but it more than likely is becoming a competitive Jetix-like channel.
