WQMY Airing Syndicated Kid Shows starting next week!(NOT A JOKE, IT'S REAL)

P

I know must of you have outgrew kid shows, and that it's only going to air in the morning hours, but WQMY-53(MyNetwork TV)in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA is airing syndicated cartoons starting July 1st, and the lineups are going to be, which isn't the greatest(to be honest):

Weekend Mornings:
7:00am-RoboCop(possibly the 1998 cartoon)
7:30am-Sonic X
8:00am-Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures
8:30am-Scary Larry(never heard of it)
9:00am-Pink Panther and Pals
9:30am-Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures

Weekday Mornings:
6:00am-Sonic X
6:30am-Max Steel
7:00am-Angry Birds Toons
7:30am-Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir
8:00am-Rocket Monkeys
8:30am-Super 4

What do you guys think, what other stations do you have would air syndicated cartoons(possibly none)?
 
Throwback to the '90s right there...and it's in the Zap2it listings. But how will they get revenue? Can they get toys and kiddie places to advertise, or will we see oodles of PSAs and direct-response tax relief commercials? Perhaps WQMY is noting that more and more people are cutting cable - thus cutting Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. If this goes well, we could see a few more stations trying this out.
WQMY is definitely a local station - they air syndicated Yankees games and even local Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders minor league baseball games at times. Most MyTV stations aren't like this.
 
Maybe it's a start airing cartoons from 7-9 am or 3-5 pm instead of infomercials. Maybe more CW and My Network tv stations will follow.
 
I read that in late Apr that Sinclair wanted to get back into kids programming largely on MY TV & CW's TV stations they own. All that CW7 airs the last hour of WWMT Morning News at 7AM which is a repeat of 6AM newscast and is just paid programming until Mr. Know It all DR. Phil comes on at 10AM.
 
Shit, I'd love to see Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Bobby's World, Hysteria, etc back in syndication, at least those shows seem a lot better than whatever the E/I compliant shows air.
 
This block of animated shows are airing on a number of Sinclair owned TV stations at various times. And all non E/I programming. I would think that they have enough national advertising clients, and the local stations have perhaps reached out to places they did not before. Some stations are even sending weekday televangelists packing in favor of this new "KidsClick" block!
