Yes.

Ah, good news.

Good good news. =D

Edit: Sorry, if someone wants to move this to the Entertainment section feel free to. I just get the impression of "Anime" when I think of Adult Swim sometimes.

So they're doing something similar to Nick used to do back in the day with Nick At Nite?

Sweet. This was an excellent move.

For now it's not going to look to different, by reading it it sounds like it'll be a network split but it will be carried by the same cable channel. Just at different times of the day.

Now whether or not this means there's going to be a point and some point in time where Adult Swim branches off into it's own channel...I wouldn't know.

What I get out of the announcement is that this is mainly for rating purposes. I can see why they'd make the move.

The WWF (before they became WWE) did the exact same thing on Monday nights - they split their wrestling program into two different "shows" - Raw and Warzone. One continuous show but two different ones as far as the Nielsens went.

This is a great day, adult swim is the only time I switch to CN, so being an entire new network will be grand!

I am excited ~

Er... Did you even notice what was being said? It's gonna be on the same channel. We're gonna be getting the same shows at the same hour of the night, it's just that Adult Swim is gonna get their own ratings.

Hm... I wonder how this change will affect Cartoon Network's own ratings..

Probably the majority of the adult audience will head south with the move, with a few exceptions depending on individual interests (mostly around Toonami on Saturdays).

Yes, I did realize that.

Even so though, I still think this opens a door to the people over at Adult Swim, and they're probably going to have more freedom and maybe more time to do what they want ...

but this is a ratings experiment I believe. As a result, I really don't see how this is any different from before...

But yeah, and Adult Swim channel in the future ... wouldn't be so bad.

Yeah, Adult Swim eventually having it's own individual channel would be pretty interesting.

For the viewer, this probably won't be so big of a deal.

Uno momento!

Will this be as widely available as the CN or will it be subscription based? That is kinda important to the consumer...

As others said ... they're not really going to be seperated on the network, just working zones I guess.

no, it's not going to be on it's own channel--it's still going to share airtime with the rest of CN--it's just that the people who does TV ratings are going to keep it seperate from the rest of CN

Yeah, seriously ... I probably gave this thread the most misleading title ever.

... Sorry guys.

But, just read the thread, seriously, people have already explained what's going on.
