Fox Abandons Saturday Morning Cartoons
When 4Kids announced they had canceled their contract with Fox, it wasn't clear what it meant for Fox programming on Saturday mornings. Would a new block of Saturday morning cartoons takeover? Sadly we now know the answer, & that is not the case.
Fox has announced that starting in January, they will no longer be showing cartoons on Saturday mornings. It will instead be replaced with 2 hours of infomercials & 2 hours of local affiliate programming. Any remaining new shows from 4KidsTV will move to the CW4Kids. Now 4Kids' block on Fox was never as good as Fox Kids was, but it's still sad to see the end of an era here. Not only the end of 4KidsTV, but the end of Saturday morning cartoons on Fox in general. A sad turn of events indeed.
