The cable television industry is undergoing significant changes as more viewers switch to streaming services. Several cable networks are at risk of closure due to declining viewership and financial pressures. For instance, HBO plans to shut down multiple cable TV networks in 2025, following the recent closure of Universal Kids. Cartoon Network has also seen a drop in viewership, being excluded from new packages by DirecTV and Sling TV. Boomerang faces competition from MeTV Toons, a free channel featuring classic cartoons. Teen Nick, Disney XD, and Disney Jr. have experienced substantial ratings declines, making them vulnerable to closure. Similarly, Nick Jr., National Geographic Wild, and BET Networks are under financial strain. MTV channels and FXX are also struggling with declining interest from younger audiences. These developments reflect the evolving media landscape, where cable networks must adapt to survive in the streaming era. — new from Cord Cutters News
