I just read the article that the tweet links to.So it's interesting that Amy Freidman is repeating it this year:
Friedman basically says that Cartoon Network, in its current state, only appeals to one demographic (young boys) and that its time the network started grabbing other people’s attention. (She credits Cartoonito for finally bringing pre-schoolers to the network.)
That’s exactly what Cartoon Network executives sounded like in 2006, when “Re-Animated” was announced, and again in 2009, when CN Real was announced.
So, as far as WarnerMedia executives are concerned, that’s where Cartoon Network currently is… in need of big changes.
