Why is Cartoon network last when it come to ratings
- Thread starter xomauraaa
- Start date
I think it needs to market towards every demographic. And I mean EVERY demographic. That means boys, girls, little kids, preteens, teens, college students and adults. Why is Nickelodeon so successful? Because it has Nick Jr. - for the little kids, regular Nickelodeon - for kids, preteens and teens, and Nick @ Nite - for adults.
It doesn't need live action or reality shows, it needs more shows in general to market toward different audiences. Right now CN is marketing toward young and tween boys, and that's about it. If they get some shows in for young and tween girls and teens, they'll have it made, since they got Adult Swim for the college crowd and adults.
I know they're supposed to have Boomerang for this but I really think they should air old stuff again, even if its 80s shows. Rerun some Jem and Holograms or My Little Pony for the girls, dammit!
Also what's wrong with rerunning the 90s shows? There's gonna be more kids who've never seen it and older people who saw it as kids and still love watching it for the nostalgia. Bring back Powerpuff Girls and some of those shows!
Woo... that kinda turned into a rant. Oh well!

Another reason may be the amount of TV-PG rated shows. This wouldn't be a big deal for kids who are like 10, but for younger kids. I know if I had a five year old I would rather have them watch Spongebob or Phineas & Ferb than TDI or 6Teen.

Consider that I watched some shows that would be consider PG before I was ten, I don't think that's the case.

Well so did I, but with me it was stuff that I watched with my parents, not just some random reality series in the middle of the day. I am not saying its a major factor or anything.
Yes. That's the reason why Nick is #1. But Nick is the only one doing that. Disney mostly markets girls yet their ratings are WAY higher than CN. That's like saying that Lifetime gets better ratings than Spike TV. CN needs good shows that appeal to a wide audience. That's it.

Unless they have a provider that broadcasts CN at normal time for the Hawaii time zone.

That would be true if they aired the east coast feed of CN there.
Most western states (including Alaska and Hawaii) air CN West by default.
