I definitely agree. CN has also been making it pretty apparent that they're trying to move viewers into their app based off of all these CN commercials involving the app.
Last night, I saw a commercial for another weekend of unlocked full episodes on the app. There was also a commercial a a little over a month ago for "SEE IT FIRST" episodes of Gumball on the app before they're on TV, and just today I saw another one for "SEE IT FIRST" episodes of Steven Universe (Which I just watched all of today, and really enjoyed them). I even saw a commercial for the Ben 10: Omni-Tricked movie that said you can watch the first 10-minutes on the app (They even had commercials for numerous weeks to see the Alien of the Week episodes before they came on TV).
This is a "rolling with the times" type of initiative with CN. They've already done this with Boomerang app, and pretty successfully so since I've heard the Boomerang app has been quite popular. Though they aren't completely abandoning their live feeds since many people do still have cable, it's clear that their live feed is becoming less and less of a priority as time goes on because cable
in general is dying out. CN has the lowest ratings out of the big 3 kids' networks, garnering less than 1 million viewers for a majority of their Friday night premieres, even
with advertising. That's a pretty clear sign that changes will soon need to be made, so CN is just in that process of getting to the change by pushing their app.
In the mean time, maybe it's helpful for them to push on cable their property that actually
does garner the highest ratings out of all their shows currently on the air, which is why Teen Titans Go is being pushed so hard (I'm just speculating this, for all I know this may not be the reason
AT ALL).
So maybe unhappy viewers need to "roll with the times" like CN is and start using the app or on demand to watch what you want. You'll get the choice of what to watch, and you can watch as much as you want without an Adult Swim interruption at 8PM. And if you really just want to see classics, then CN On Demand has been recently adding classic Cartoon Cartoons and other old CN originals, so you can watch those as much as you want. Plus the CN app has Ben 10 Classic and every episode of the 2003 Teen Titans.
It's important to realize that there are
a lot of benefits to this streaming era. We have no idea why CN makes the business and scheduling decisions that they do, and we most likely never will, but if you're unhappy with what CN is playing on TV then just do what
@Toon4Thought said and "use digital services or watch a different channel".
