Is Fox’s “Animation Domination” headed for streaming only?

we are now in a era where Streaming has pretty much killed the broadcast & cable TV, and plus these shows don't need to continue in long running series form and just go to special movies on a streaming service route similar to South Park
 
Not shocking to consider that given that median demos are a factor here. This is given that there has to be research showing that more people are watching those shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons via Disney+ and Hulu.
 
Not to mention Fox's coverage of the NFL can lead over Animation Domination from time to time which is what killed off shows like Futurama and King of the Hill during their 6pm broadcasts. Also Animation Domination is battling against NBC's Sunday Night Football so that's a competition.
 
Gen Z here.

I hate to say it, but yeah, network TV and Cable is as dead as the forums biggest doomsayers say about radio. Which sucks. I’ll miss that era in the late 2000’s it the was alive and well in my childhood.

Last of the “Baby Boomer” generation here: Broadcast TV was my only choice growing up in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. My town didn’t get cable TV until 1994! My dad had dialup internet until 2012. But yah, even this old fart has adapted to streaming. 😁

A family friend invested in one of the first cable companies in the 1970s and everyone in his town thought he was pouring money down the drain. They told him no one would ever pay to watch extra television channels.

That's true too given that the Fox affiliates on the East coast have that happen some of the time when Fox Sports NFL or MLB coverage run and in some cases pre-empts Fox Primetime schedule. Yes Fox Affiliates on the West Coast don't have that issue as much where the MLB and NFL coverages runs into Fox Primetime. On the West Coast whenever NFL or MLB coverage ends on Fox we get local news like KTVU Fox 2 News between Fox Sports and Fox Primetime in San Francisco does whenever Fox Sports finishes covering the 49ers or San Francisco Giants games.

NYC wasn't fully wired for cable until the early 90s, but Manhattan got it first in the 60s

The issue was the shows being joined in progress after the post game show, commercials, theme song, more commercials, and then maybe 10 minutes of the show left, but ironically King of the Hill wasn't JIP after the Cowboys, eventually Fox stopped scheduling shows before The Simpsons when they had the late game, it's just returns when they don't have late game
 
Does Krapolois or UBG have any merchandising potential like The Simpsons or Family Guy? Will those shows go beyond 100 episodes or just end with 100 episodes like The Cleveland Show? Bob's Burgers hasn't done much in merchandising

I do remember that. It was the long commercials that were just a headache to get a show to join in progress. Who over there at Fox thought this was a good idea?
 
They've been on Fox a while, don't know why they would after all this time. It helps the Fox network, not sure what else they would put in those primetime slots. You are moving something free to something you have to pay for.

Something that Fox Affiliates on the West Coast rarely faces like when Fox Sports pre-empts Fox Primetime because they had to make space for the post game wrap up. OK we get local news between Fox Sports post game wrap up and Fox Primetime.
 
Fox will always have cartoons in primetime in my opinion I wouldn't mind if they would try something new on Sunday for those late NFL games than the cartoons in my opinion. Would get higher ratings with something new on Sun with a drama or sitcom with the NFL lead-in as the cartoons only get a little bump in the ratings from the NFL and goes down without the NFL.

In the late 80s I guess we could have had cable but we were way out in the country before that and I don't know. We didn't get it where I live now until sometime in the 90s but I don't know why. I cancelled it when my father moved out because I thought it would cost too much but then digital TV made it necessary in 2009.

I had the slowest speed that wasn't dialup until 2017. I kept trying to upgrade and I was always told the next fastest speed would be $60 a month. When I got fed up with the problems I was having and Time Warner offered me a deal and I was all set to cancel everything including landline, all of a sudden it got cheaper. And I've been able to talk them down ever since when it got to be too much.
