#29: Spamming One Show All Day, Seven Days A Week

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/3/9/AAAG8cAAEotr.jpg
I guess if you love Teen Titans Go... Merry Christmas?

Remember when networks used to play different shows at different times every day? You'd turn on Nickelodeon, and the average day's programming consisted of a couple dozen different shows. Same with Cartoon Network, and the Disney Channel. These days, you're lucky if you see more than half a dozen different shows in a day, as most kids' networks now spam the same show over and over again, sometimes only showing one thing all day. For Cartoon Network, it's usually Teen Titans Go. For the longest time on Nickelodeon, it was Spongebob Squarepants, with the occasional Fairly OddParents or Loud House marathon. Marathon... marathons used to be special. It used to be, people looked forward to seeing their favorite show two hours in a row. If a network was showing the same thing all day, it was an event, accompanied with things like interviews and trivia quizzes. Now, to paraphrase, "it's just Tuesday". And... I get it, to some extent. If a show's killing it in the ratings and showing it over and over again puts butts in seats, then it can be a good business move, at least in the short term, to do just that. But scheduling like this cuts down heavily on programming diversity. Remember the days when you'd change the channel and stumble on your new favorite show? Spamming programs like this doesn't give lesser known shows a chance to shine, and if the show you're showing repeatedly begins to decline in the ratings, it can take down your whole network's numbers, leading to firings or worse. Fortunately, these days networks seem to have taken that lesson to heart, and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network are both trying out more programming, but modern viewers still have painful memories of when it would seem like months would go by without anything but Spongebob and Teen Titans Go on their screens.

This is.... incredible

And its during christmas break when kids actually might want to watch during the day too?

Even if you wanted to watch Teen Titans go, why would you be playing the same movies multiple times?!
