The Death of Canadian Kids Television

Today's the final day -- FIVE Digital youth Televisions from Corus Entertainment are going to be completely shutdown at midnight, due to the company who keep to struggling with the lack of advertising revenues in favor of the GAFAM and with low-performances of viewers to subscribe of these channels.

R.I.P. All of them at midnight today!

The followings are ABC Spark: a sort-of ABC Family/Freeform specialty that are dedicated to teens and youth adult, the three sub-Disney networks Corus has launched, back in 2015: Disney XD, La chaîne Disney and Disney Jr. and the more older of them, Nickelodeon Canada that went in life in year like, 2009. And like it wasn't enough, YTV and Corus are going to losing all the Nickelodeon property for the first time, since they had syndicated these shows, back in the early-1990s or something.

Another new that shocked kids Television in Canada was announced this week.

A decision from Wildbrain went to shutting down all its TV assets in the "next months", by have losing carriage to the biggest Cable distributors Rogers and Bell and an effort to sells all their linear TV to the Island of Misfits animation studio around a year ago. This is not already easy for a kids specialty to stays profitable on a time more children gets access to contents from the parents' screens (I don't preach you. It's the same here.) and where even Télé-Québec and Radio-Canada/CBC also known that there is no longer funds for children content in Canada anymore. (Especially in the Québec province)

By these NINE loss, we, at animation diehard fans, we don't think we're going to miss much, if the newer animated materials are just disposable and unwatchable, which results of how the Internet, back in later years, has changed the face of the artform forever, by created likely two words -- The reality one and the virtual one. It don't help that much of the Post-2017s materials are cynical and dreadful to look, like when it do took me twelve episodes to completely quit with Mysticons, an animated series that seems that the only people who will be proud that it exists are certainly the Corus owners themselves.

Two years ago, it was VRAK who was shutting down, on a time where Vidéotron has cuts to the service. And Yoopa followed after that, by be re-branded on a TV version of webradio QUB. Thanks goodness-- A re-branding that finally make sense and a service that we all need in our age!

When all the Wildbrain's linear TV services are going to be shutdown definitely, only Corus Entertainment and public TV services are going to shown kids contents again, but for how much times? I know people who have children there who don't even know that Télé-Québec exists, which one of my wishes to them is to own a real TV News service in order to compete Radio-Canada and their incessant and almost-pretentious dialect that don't made sense anymore. Télé-Québec don't need to be elitist like PBS is, but we expected better from them than ran shit-shows made by wokes that only their broadcasters are going to watch.
