Adult Swim temporarily loses 8 p.m. hour starting Oct. 26.

Similar to 2013, where AS lost 9 p.m. for a little bit, from Oct. 26 to presumably the end of the year, Adult Swim will forfeit one hour to Cartoon Network, with reruns of Adventure Time and Regular Show along with other shows filling its place for more ad sales for the holiday season starting. It was rumored originally on Reddit here but was confirmed by Jason DeMarco here. Bob's Burgers loses its weekday slots and movese to Saturday and Sunday at 9, and King of the Hill moves to 9 weeknights, losing the weekend slots. I'm thinking they might do this before making another major shift, like giving daytime CN the entire channel and moving Adult Swim to another station completely. Your thoughts?

Doesn't bother me at all; it's trading reruns of a series with a good adult-child audience mix for other adult-child mix shows. Still by far, Cartoon Network at least has a steady schedule flow unlike Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite, which bounce around 8pm and 9pm so confusingly that their schedule flow makes no sense.

And no, Adult Swim isn't moving to their own network; they would have done that a year ago with the Boomerang space if they didn't decide on the current day reformat. It would be impossible to launch a new Adult Swim-only network at this point when you can do it on the web for a lot less money/provider frustrations.
