Why is it so hard to find a good Anime channel that has Anime cartoons in English? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have never ever figured out why it has become so hard to find a good Anime channel that has Anime in English? Is it because Anime is hard to find in English or is there not a high market for Anime in English? Take for instance they have the streaming channel HiDive but every time you find an Anime cartoon it's in Japanese and not English and another Anime streaming channel that has basically the same thing is RetroCrush and I cannot figure out how people pay expensive prices for these Anime channels that have only Japanese Anime but with English subtitles. If they could create an antenna channel with Anime such as Sailor Moon Pokemon and other popular Anime similar to METV Toons it would be a hit if it were to exist

Never mind finding a good anime channel; I've been having trouble trying to find the right anime series for me for years.

When it comes to Anime I think the reason why it's so hard to find Anime channels that have Anime cartoons in English is because Anime channels are just not successful. If they would create a free streaming service that has Anime cartoons in English it would work. Or there should be an antenna channel devoted to Anime cartoons in English because how Crunchyroll HiDive and RetroCrush survive as top Anime streaming channels is beyond me. But they should develop a channel with Cartoon Network to focus on Anime such as One Piece One Punch Man and other Anime cartoons and it would be a hit
