    On September 27, 2014, Vortexx, the Saturday morning cartoon block of CW, will end. It will be replaced with a live-action E/I block from Litton Entertainment called One Magnificent Morning. Being the final dedicated block for cartoons on Saturdays, the closure of Vortexx marks the end of traditional Saturday morning cartoons on broadcast television, which had previously been a staple of American TV for decades.

    Personally, I find this news depressing. Here in Toronto, I can not find proper animated programming on free TV for kids 8-13 (I know in the USA there's some stuff on broadcast TV, but where I live all the ones we have on free TV is CBC and TVO - which only show educational stuff for little toddlers - and the CW signals we get from Buffalo, NY). And considering I am quite the anime fan, I'm a little sad as this block is the only one as far as I know that carries anime on broadcast television.

      [u]I know. It ends on the same time as Radio Disney ends their AM/FM broadcast. I am going to miss Saturday Morning cartoons. R.I.P. Saturday Morning Cartoons (1950's-2014):cry:[/u]

        I gave up on Saturday mornings a long time ago anyway. Even the cartoons that were on were pretty bad imo. The last ones I enjoyed were TMNT Fast Forward and Viva Pinata.

          That's very depressing. How does it make you feel how things changed so much since the old days?

            Someone else already made a topic on Vortexx getting the boot.

            There is a battle between two wolves inside us all.

            One is evil and the other one is good. Which wolf will win? The one you feed the most.
