It is a sad day today for every 90s kid who has grown up watching Cartoon Network. The happiness of catching your favourite cartoon after a hard day’s work in school was unmatched and it will remain so as the future of Cartoon Network has gone dark. Cartoon Network will no longer be available how everyone remembered it as the much-talked-of merger with Warner Bros, will see the two television companies merging as a “strategic realignment”.
However, it is not all happy news as the restructurings within Warner Bros. Television Group and multiple layoffs from the Cartoon Network team have the fans worried about the channel’s future. According to HITC, Warner Bros laid off 26% of Cartoon Network’s staff that prompted netizens to share their feelings about the entire situation on social media.
