We live in a time for consumers to have plenty of choices. It used to be that syndicators/distributors have no alternatives but to sell the rights to local FOX/UPN/WB affiliates who were once independents. Now, the same classic TV shows, movies and cartoons can be seen anywhere and everywhere. Hence, television stations are left with scraps...or worse, informercials to fill time and to pay the bills. I mean, the onslaught of first-run court, game and talk shows produced by Byron Allen is no match for the classics, and even then some. As for classic cartoons, yes MeTV has the rights as of this post to the WB library since the FCC relaxed the E/I mandate for the diginets, so there are chances to see more of those types on as well. As for the main channels, they can either continue or shut down.
