Cartoon Network Website Shut Down by Warner Bros. Discovery

The post Cartoon Network Website Shut Down by Warner Bros. Discovery appeared first on Consequence .

The Cartoon Network website has been effectively erased from the internet thanks to parent company Warner Bros. Discovery . As of Friday (August 9th), navigating to cartoonnetwork.com redirects visitors to a new landing page for Warner Bros. Discovery’s flagship streaming service Max .

“Looking for episodes of your favorite Cartoon Network shows? Check out what’s available to stream on Max,” a pop-up message reads in part. “Cable subscribers, continue to enjoy your favorite CN programming on your TV and connected apps as well!”

In a statement, a Cartoon Network representative said, “We are focusing on the Cartoon Network shows and social media where we find consumers are the most engaged and there is a meaningful potential for growth.” The spokesperson added that the Cartoon Network cable channel will continue to air 11 hours of programming from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every day.

The Cartoon Network website previously hosted full episodes and short clips of series like Adventure Time , Craig of the Creek , Teen Titans Go! , and Steven Universe , as well as free games.

This shutdown comes one week after Warner Bros. Discovery announced it would be shuttering the cartoon streaming service Boomerang and migrating users to Max.

Paramount made a series of similar cost-cutting moves earlier this summer, shuttering the Comedy Central website and taking down the MTV News archive .
