To go off on a tangent, a lot of those niche channels then abandoned their namesake focus and did rando other things.Cable (Cartoon Network, disney, etc) replaced broadcast cartoons. Fcc changes in the 90s basically killed cartoons on broadcast and everything moved to dedicated networks.
Then as computers got into more homes they eventually got in the hands of youngsters by the 2000s… and in the last 15yrs its been the apple devices/tablets.
And of course now its video streaming….
History channel used to be about history w' great documentaries. Now its Pawn Stars and Ancient Aliens
Discovery Channel is just as bad. Used to be an amazing STEM channel.
MTV is a shell of what it was. Now it is just 24/7 reality TV. ...but I do have a guilty pleasure with Ridiculousness
Animal Planet is drifting, but still tolerable.
Cartoon Network stayed true tho for the most part.
