It seems that Cartoon Network is in deep pain when it comes to viewers. Especially the ones staying tuned to Toonami, their almost-Japanese section, which includes Naruto and the likes. As of 20 September, Toonami was canceled after 11 years of prodigious existance, with only its online streaming counterpart, Toonami Jetstream, remaining. For now.

Word is that Cartoon Network still has some 15 more Naruto episodes acquired, so these ones will continue to be aired as planned, but beyond that, nobody knows what will happen. I fail to see how the viewership of this series block was decreasing, but it seems fair enough. No money gained, no reason to continue. I guess they would rather fill the gap with absolutely retarded in-house productions, like Bernard (God, I hate that bear so much), or Chowder. Or whatever stupid animations they have released lately.

They are also broadcasting Code Geass, which, fairly enough, is a pretty good show, but it seems they lack in audience here, too. According to Cartoon Network representatives, the series "is not doing well at all". Sometimes I wonder what kind of viewers does CN actually have, anyway.

It is surprising, yes?
I think the main issue is the time slot. new episodes of Naruto air on Saturday correct? most people over 12 years old have better things to do than watch TV on SAT night.

even with re-runs full metal alchemist was running daily on weekdays and it seems to have been a big hit? at least I didnt mind watching that at night when I just left the TV on. I dont watch naruto or code geass though.

the prime time cartoon network in house shows are so corny I dont ever change the channel to cartoon network. Its on food network, G4 TV or bravo nowadays
if family guy comes on at night I may watch it if nothing else is on that particular day

Anyone with the internet would rather watch Veoh or YouTube rather then CN.

CN and AS need to re-evaluate their program blocks and try no to play all the good shows from 1-5am on sat. , that in itself should improve ratings

They Better Show Naruto STILL or ELSE!!!!!!!Naruto is one of my favorite shows unlike that new CN real crap.Who would wanna watch that they will lose WAY more viewers with that crap than they ever would with toonami.

Cartoon network needs to bring back the OLD toonami shows like DBZ, Yu-Yu Hakusho, Batman Beyond, Samurai Jack, and the OLD TOM! I'm sure it'll bring back the viewers CN lost.
