Paramount May Look To Cut Programming On Cartoon Network And Cartoonito

Paramount is currently in the process of trying to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery with the deal expected to finalised later in the year. This would bring two rival brands such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network under the same ownership.

Not long ago, Nickelodeon Animation Studios was folded under CBS Studios as it's live-action department forms Paramount Television Studios. It mirrors a similar move made by Cartoon Network Studios with Warner Bros. Animation.

While this would issue that the possible merged company would continue commissioning separate projects. This doesn't serve as a safeguard for the company's linear networks.

Even if Paramount isn't looking to close or spinoff any of its current or possible new assets. They're going to find other areas to cut and they could as well target the regional and third party shows on Cartoon Network and Cartoonito.

Let's be honest here, Cartoon Network and Cartoonito have too many from Lana Longbeard, Goat Girl, Submarine Jim, Pokémon, Grizzy And The Lemmings, Mr. Bean and Zig & Sharko. Under Paramount, they could look to reduce that slate.

If you look at Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., it's been more reliant on content from its own studios which is where Cartoon Network and Cartoonito may be heading soon. 

I guess the question after all of this would be what Paramount has planned for Cartoonito I mean they could revert it back to Boomerang. I mean they would be acquiring the company that gave it's streaming service 3 different names in 5-7 years.

They would be owning both Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon which I think they'll keep as they generate for them revenue. But for Cartoonito, it never took off in the US and Paramount could rely solely on Nick Jr. for further preschool shows.

That doesn't mean Cartoonito will ceast to exist again with it's linear footprint I'd imagine they'd want to keep that but stuff like Hey BMO and Batwheels might get picked up for Nick Jr.
