The Death of a Programming Block

Read this article. (It probably puts it more elegantly than I can anyway.)  Saturday morning cartoons on any of the 5 big channels (ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC, and CW/WB) are completely gone. In fact, this is actually the first Saturday in who knows how long to NOT have Saturday morning cartoons in the traditional sense.
This actually has been a long time coming, in my opinion. Of the 5 channels mentioned earlier, only CW still had a block for this. The other 4 dumped their blocks years ago. The concept of Saturday morning cartoons was immediately obsoleted by the introduction of entire channels that have similar programming, specifically Cartoon Network. Even then, I would argue that broadcast TV as a whole is dead, thanks to streaming sites like Netflix and Hulu.

Yes, I know this was replaced with foxbox, but I think this is a more nostalgic logo for anyone reading this.
