At the membership meeting last night, a member asked about "Cartoon Network shutting down."
The info came from a participant at Animation Nation who wrote:Word on the street is that Cartoon Network is not renewing any of their shows, and then they are planning on doing a major corporate revamp. Meaning they won't have any art jobs for 2-3 years.
There was an added request for confirmation of this scuttlebutt.
So your intrepid reporter commenced rooting about at CN and came up with these observations from two CN mucky mucks:
"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..."
An artist upstairs who works on Fosters says they're going on hiatus for two months but will be back for a new season of the show. And Chowder, not yet aired, has been picked up for a new half season (six additional episodes).
Now. It could be that execs are blowing smoke up my hindquarters. Wouldn't be the first time. And it could be that the people I've talked to haven't been clued to the whole story of what's really going on at CN.
But as of right now, I would have to say that the studio isn't going anywhere, although it's going through some wrenching changes. Naturally, I could be wrong.

Perhaps they're changing their name to The Live-Action Network.
Steve, I read that thread over at Animation Nation about a few shows that were in development being cancelled. Do you have any idea what project have been stopped, ie stuff like Santo.
Santo is no longer happening.
Secret Saurdays is still in production at Porchlight.
cartoon network sadly has been declining for some time now. I sure wouldn't miss any of their irreverent shows.

Thanks for the sentiment asshole - while those of us that work there are on the verge of hitting the streets. So much for solidarity for union workers.
No offence, but it's the network's fault for deciding to ditch what it was known for in the first place. It shouldn't have been in that position in the first place if it just was itself. Besides, I highly disapprove of the Disney Channel's live action material. That's an example of what was once an excellent kid's show channel now FORCING the kids to have to grow up with all this rushed live action material, especially with the over-inflation of High School Musical and its aforementioned 'success'.
Disney Channel sucks because of the bullcrap high school musical, and CN sucks because they got rid of good shows.
For those of you that work at Cartoon Network and aren't sure what shows people loved to watch or not, let me help you out here. The Best shows were My Gym Partners a Monkey, chowder, fosters home for imaginary friends, yu yu hakasho, zach bell, and dragon ball z
and by the way, put yu yu hakasho, blue dragon, zach bell, and mabye bakugan back on toonami.
Why is cartoon putting out low quality shows like Chowder and this new Flapjack show.
i hate the new shows where the powerpuff girls shows dexter lab luney tones and selvester and tweety and the road runner i mis all these shows wheres eds shows cartoon network not good any more
This is a very old network for cartoons. I am 27 years old and I am watching this network from my childhood. I congratulate to the management of the cartoon network.

Turner Broadcasting should be utilizing the lessons it could learn from Cartoon Network's success and expand into additional niche markets. Something else happens when a trait is ignored and no offspring are created: the trait disappears from the gene pool. In the frenzy to gain the broadest audience, they may sacrifice what made the original worth while, that it was a highly successful specialist. Search Cartoonnetwork
