Cartoon Network Website Shut Down

[RandomMe]

The Canadian CN website is still up, mainly because it's run by Corus, though that company is struggling too.

I am not surprised at this, I wonder how many kids still went to Cartoon Network website before it was shut down. More writing on the wall for cable. However, it's a bit of a shame that separate spaces for kids are disappearing. I think kids are expected to grow up a lot faster nowadays.

I heard that at its prime the CN USA website was visited in like 160 countries

Yeah, I have not been able to access it for years, if I put Cartoon Network into Google, I get directed to the Canadian site.

Oh great. The last country that has a website with the RYW design will be gone too.
At least they gave an exact date.

Europe is left: I check the Hungarian website every single day to see when will the redirection happen.

They even officially confirmed it. That says a lot...

Not that this makes it okay, but at least they told us about this one in advance. The others shut down without warning (or at the very least word that they'd be shutting down without saying when).

 

[Daffyrocks]

it's the only country that confirmed it 100%. I mean...

And Romania partly confirmed it only to say that eventually every website will shut down.

Speaking of Japan, here is a historic piece I found on the Wayback Machine back in 2023: in the City era, they had an English sub-site!
The cool-looking City animation however, was replaced by a basic Tahoma-written introductory image, and the Flash-based menu at the top was also not translated for the site.

Sorry for the double post.

I switched to completely up-to-date mode: I keep two European CN sites (Hungarian, European country selection) open and watching them on random times until the shutdown moment arrives.

Japanese channels have always had small sections in English on their sites. It did help that most shows were bilingual and had an English track.
