Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2019 6:53 pmThis wild west period of cable TV was fun while it lasted, but I suppose the decline was always inevitable. The market is always going to be larger for new programming, and these media companies ain't charities. Once cable TV channels reached a large enough installed base, the focus was going to move towards newer productions and more expensive newer films, rather than relying on more affordable existing libraries and re-runs. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 kicking off a wave of media conglomerate consolidation didn't help, either.

I will always appreciate just how strange cable programming was when I was growing up in the 90s. It was such a grab bag of whatever they could get to fill air time. I remember how Cartoon Network would always do these crazy stunts to spice up what was otherwise a day of programming featuring the same old cartoons they ran dozens and dozens of times before.
