Sesame Workshop pursuing distributor for new Sesame Street episodes after Max opts out of contract

[The Count]

I'm not worried about the Looney Tunes shows since those'll still be found on Boomerang along with most if not all of the Scooby-Doo series. What does worry me is that CN has been propping up their weekday afternoon lineup with the classic shows like the Ed's, Grim Adventures, Courage and others branded as "Checkered Past" from Mondays through Thursdays; and then Fridays is the two-hour block of classic Toonami shows. If they're divesting themselves of these kinds of programs we loved or at least mildly tolerated (Teeny Titans Go! (Away!)), then what's the point of calling yourself Cartoon Network? It's the same thing as why people laugh out loud whenever someone says that TLC was called The Learning Channel. Yeah, learning how to air any kind of reality crud and get away with it dirt cheap.

Well, for one, the Boomerang streaming app shut down at the end of September, and very few people get the TV channel. But then there's MeTV Toons, which can be accessed via many antenna TV markets or via the FrndlyTV and Philo services.
