Re-Runs of old Cartoons for local stations?

Frankly, I suspect many station owners would run nothing but dollar-a-holler shows 24/7 if they thought anyone would watch them.
 
To quote TV Tropes, "Fox doesn't bother, ceding their time to a two-hour block of Infomercials that kids (and any adult 77 or younger) avoid like crazy."

The only good daytime cartoons left on broadcast TV are on PBS Kids, which is only watched by kids 11 or younger and their parents.

Channels should sign off in the late nights so they don't waste money on pointless commercials.
 
I wish to God they'd bring back Sailor Moon-not the 65 episode cookie cutter version, but all 200 episodes unedited!

They just redubbed the series, based on the original Japanese.

Bringing Pokemon back to syndication would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, because that series has 800+ episodes.
 
Saturday mornings would be wasted without the cheap E/I shows. 3 hrs of infomercials would air if E/I wasn't a requirement. Or, on Fox stations, 3 hrs of NEWS - like we need to know about a robbery 5 times in a row. 25 years ago this would be completely different. NBC, ABC and CBS still had cartoons and Fox was still a "toddler" - adding Fox Kids I think around 1990 - that's around when Fun House started. But in 1989, kids would wake up early on Saturday mornings, still in their P.J.'s and eating Lucky Charms, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Looney Tunes. Not now. They are all on Nick watching the 2,234th rerun of SpongeBob, or Disney watching another non-funny rerun of Jessie, or Cartoon Network watching Adventure Time. Cable has taken it over.

Last night, I realized that The Hub Network is the second coming of 90s indies and syndication. Sitcoms, hourlong adventures, cartoons, movie night.

No news or infomercials, just family-friendly stuff
