Why is it so difficult for a fourth major kids network to actually become a thing?
The "Big 3" major kids TV networks in case you're wondering, are Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon. But why haven't we seen a fourth network to truly compete with them in the way that Fox was able to compete with the "Big 3" prime time broadcast networks in ABC, CBS, and NBC?
Is it a matter of distribution (Sprout/Universal Kids and The Hub/Discovery Family weren’t on that many providers) and programming (Modern Discovery Family and Fox Family didn’t have that many good shows)? Could it also be that Universal Kids was coming out in a time is practically at an all time low? |
