How come you guys did not expect him to get promoted?
He brings back Toonami April First as a one time thing.
Then he gets the impetus to restart the Block under AS.
All in the while he gets the first promotion.
Then toonami grows not to 2 million
Or three
or four
BUT FIVE MILLION.
And yall think Turner wasn't going to Reward him?
Turner makes a lot of fucked up choices (Jeff Zucker...ugh), but promoting people after doing good work isn't one of them.
You didn't know the first rule of the TV business?
What have you done for me lately?
And what makes it more remarkable is that he did it HIS WAY.
So now, he gets a budget.
He handles ALL of AS (while giving up his CN rights)
Which means he can do with the schedule as he pleases.
