I like cartoons on MeTV and I am surprised there is not an over air network specializing in cartoons. As far as live TV i do not understand how streaming services like Roku make money on it when they air few commercials and instead use it to mostly to promote other live TV Networks on their service.

I worked on very similar cases when I used to work antitrust; Fubo and the other TV providers have a VERY strong case. I don't usually put odds on who will win a civil case or not because anything can happen however if this goes to trial I'd predict that Max, Fox & Disney have a VERY slim chance of winning. If you read through the antitrust law this would be as clear cut a violation of that as there ever has been because as much as I want a sports centric service this is anti competitive if they don't allow the TV providers to offer similar packages. At the end of the day however I foresee a settlement where the TV providers are no longer forced to carry networks they don't want or they can offer skinny packages to cater to those who don't want sports or want sports but not those channels.

For starters, I share all of your excitement and I cannot wait to see it. I am impressed with its line up of nostalgic cartoons and it does bring back fond memories. While I like the line up of shows, I was hoping that this new channel will broadcast the week's "Toon in with Me" episodes. I was hoping that it would have a five-hour block, just for anyone who missed an episode or two (or more) of that METV series to have an encore presentation. I hope that can still be possible. Besides that, from "Top Cat" to "Under Dog", I am ready to reminisce and enjoy. Buh bye, Boomerang! Thank You.

I wonder if the difference between the free over the air channel and streaming paid access to MeTV Toon would be that the over the air would be the classic cartoons are edited for content and the paid would be unedited with limited commercial interruption or no commercial interruption.

The free version might have a limited loop of content, like the Adult Swim free stream. I guess the purpose would be for some markets tat don't carry MeTV stations.

MeTV Toons sounds good (unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's coming to my city or anything I'm currently subscribed to right now); I just wish Warner Bros Discovery cared this much about Cartoon Network and new and up and coming talent. They've done a lot of talent very dirty: killing shows then burying them so the creators and talents can't receive any royalties, gutting Max's cartoon library, the whole Coyote VS Acme debacle and how the top brass has treated Adult Swim's talent is almost criminal (though to be fair, this was going on long before Discovery came along). Classics are great, but new talent needs to be nurtured. A company can't rely solely on nostalgia.

@Buc_Stops_Here Ай бұрын

I am of mixed thoughts about the merger between Disney, Fox, and WB for sports. They are getting rid of the middle players who raise their rates to make a profit, but at the same time there won't be competition anymore for sports so they will control the cost outright and charge what they want. The longer term problem is that Disney, Fox, and WB will lose rights to many sports in the next few years when renegotiations come out - so their banding together is a short term solution not a long term as when those contracts come up for review, we all know that Amazon/Apple will out bid everyone else to gain those sports those networks at Disney, Fox, and WB used to have.

@rickwiese5438 Ай бұрын

I agree. As a sports fan, I love the idea of paying just for the sports channels and not all those channels that air reality TV, the cable news food fight, etc. I spent most of the 80s and 90s accessing television through a backyard dish. Even after the cable channels started scrambling their feeds, there were companies such as Turner Vision that offered the big bundles, but also a la carte. You could just pick the channels you wanted and pay a fixed fee (very reasonable at the time) for each. I hope that can happen with streaming in the future.

@kenyattaclay7666 Ай бұрын

Nobody is saying this is a bad thing, even Fubo and other TV providers. However what they are saying is that this is anti competitive and a violation of antitrust, which it is. Ultimately what the TV providers are hoping to gain is the ability to offer similar packages so that the end consumer doesn't have to pay for channels they don't want but with the current contracts they are forced to carry those channels and pass the cost onto the consumer.

The more channels like this, the better it is for consumers. We have to pay so much for TV as it is. Would you really want to pay for 50 year old television. These networks give new life to shows that would just be sitting on a shelf collecting dust. If they can make ad revenue by airing them, why shouldn't they. Yes they could turn it into a subscription service, but in today's fractured market, they would never get enough subs to be profitable

@Goldstar_ Ай бұрын

@@greyeagle4388 The problem is that no one wants to pay for old stuff. New and original programming costs money to produce, so that justifies the companies charging a monthly or annual fee to view them. But a retro channel? Nah, people aren't willing to pay for that, at least not by itself. Ideally, a streaming service should have both classics and originals.
