CN and other expanded cable options for kids is what really did them in. Blame Nickelodeon. The thing that they aren't mentioning that hurt the crap out of them was expanded regulation that started in the late 90's about what exactly you could advertise and how you can advertise to children.
Well, in the days of analog cable, pre streaming internet this would be one of maybe 3-7 channels you'd have if you have basic cable that had kids programming on Saturday mornings.
CW is basically a merger of the fifth and sixth biggest broadcast stations of the mid to late 90's, UPN and WB so most places in the country would have an affiliate. When I was a teen they used to show all sorts of stuff on WB in the afternoons and mornings and they infamously had their own watered down version of Toonami for awhile.

I totally forgot that cartoons everyday after school used to be a thing.

Nicktoons or CN are probably going to snag Zexal and Digimon Fusion.
There was a big ass thread about the death of Saturday Morning cartoons and cartoons on network TV. It came down to Clinton and family groups throwing bills on bills on bills at networks. That's where Nick and Cartoon Network came in. Toonami didn't kill of Vortexx, it was rules and regulations from the 90's that killed it all.
I still think Toonami would be huge if it had some day time/weekday. Basically it's own network. That comes down to CN of course since they already have Boomerang. I think Toonami like yeeeeeears down the line, will.

(guys i was kidding about Toonami killing Vortexx, just the timing with acquiring DBZ Kai makes it kinda funny)
With the death of Vortexx, Saturday Morning blocks on network TV are essentially dead now. They had a good run, but cable channels like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and The Hub do waaaay better now.
Though Vortexx did bring us some strange stuff. Like a censored Justice League Unlimited (the guns became lasers, and they couldn't show punching), as well as the comedy gold that was Blue Popo.

I thought those censors were always present, at least the gun laser parts.
Not on Cartoon Network.
Those were real guns.
I also recall there was a fanservice-y shot of Black Canary that they cut out.

DBZ kai was on Vortexx maybe Toonami really did kill it 
Eww. I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that.
In what storyline would that actually be needed or important

Toonami didn't kill Vortexx.
It DID kill that FOOLISH SAMOORAI though.

Well, it certainly can't hurt Toonami that it will apparently be the broadcast home for DBZ in the USA. If it's still got drawing power, it ought to show it.
Stared at this for like 5 minutes straight. I don't know why.

Might Guy parties too hard.
Did Shippuden ever do the filler where various people tested for the Chunin exams? Could make for a good arc, possibly even a good season.
I'm sure figuring out how Shikamaru got the nod makes it pretty easy to figure out what they want, but the other countries examinations could be fun.

I miss the fox box. Fighting Foodons, Ultimate Muscle, and Shaman King were amazing as a kid. Loved the mix of anime and western cartoons, it was a good time. Still remember One Piece's American debut back in 2003; they hyped it up hard for months both on TV and in shonen jump magazine.
I'm capturing footage through Shadowplay. Using this script to convert. Seems like a common place to upload them is http://pomf.se

So I've been wondering recently because I went to the Funi panel at the con and they showed this anime called Date Alive. It didnt get much of a response and it had a wierd premise. So I'm wondering, is it any good?
