-There was a show about theree time travellers I used to like... called Time Squad or something?
-Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
-Two Stupid Dogs
-Cartoon Planet and Space Ghost Coast 2 Coast
-Some of the old classics: Wacky Races, Thundercats, Pirates of Dark Water, etc.

Don't you guys have Boomerang? All it does is play what CN played in the 90s. Is this a rare case of Australian TV beating American?

I do, but we're talking JUST the Cartoon Network channel it seems.

We have that one over here, it had all those glorious cartoons. Then, it became yet another tween network.

Then, this happened. Also, no commercials in that channel IIRC.

AT

ALL

The Tooncast site has 2 languages, spanish and portuguese, which tells me that the channel isn't available in english speaking countries. Still, I can watch them cartoons in english just fine if I mess around with my tv box thingy's options.

Also, Mauve, it has those cartoons interacting with each other things, the cartoon music videos and even good ol' silly things like Frothy Dawg and Captain Linger.

I don't have Boomerang; it's only available in the Super Duper Fancy Expensive cable package in my area. I only get to watch it when my provider gives everyone free preview weekends, which is rare.

Same goes with The Hub.

I dont even think my cable company has it in their super expensive package

[mauve]

Cuz, y'know, a channel that features nothing but old cartoons and the same four bumpers from the early 2000's must cost so much to keep up and running that they can only justify its existance by putting it in the most expensive cable package, if any at all.

Y'know, not paying for writers or having to acquire new seasons of shows can be so costly.

No

It's more that an extremely niche network isn't going to draw in anyone looking to purchase advertising time slots. By putting it in a more expensive package, a cable company is in a way offsetting that and making at least something off that channel.

I feel a need to post these.

Right now:

Quite a few hours from now:

Ironically, I have Dish Network, which other than their fiasco with AMC (which they made up for by giving me money to buy episodes of Breaking Bad off of Amazon), has Boomerang in their crappy 20 dollar package I have so I qualify to get HBO (can't wait until they separate HBO out from cable packages, but I guess HBO likes that stability or something), but DOESN'T have Cartoon Network.

Note: By crappy I meant actually pretty good since it also has HUB, Comedy Central, History, etc. I'm not sure if they still offer it to new customers, actually, since it's okay for the 20 dollars. Much better than the 40 dollar one that has basically the same selection, I think? Just more channels I don't watch at all.
