Without 4kids, where can a cartoon air?

4Kids is not dropping the TMNT franchise, TMNT will remain in rotation in 4Kid's animation block as long as they need filler material.

And then there's the internet, digital downloads, dvds, cable channels (such as Disney XD), this is not 1997, there are many alternative media outlets were the 2k3 series can pop up.
