What will become of the Cartoon Network now? Will Turner Ent. keep its name, even if the guy in the name is gone? Will he keep it with AOLTW or take it with him to another company?

I would really like to see Turner take the HB characters and Cartoon Network with him, to avoid any more bull from AOLTW, and sell it to another corporation (preferribly Sony Pictures, home of the Torch Lady who kept an eye on the first wave HB characters and the Flinstones when they were babies). Sadly, (lets out a serious and deep sigh) it dosn't work that way. When a man gets a property and then merges it into a conglomerate, he would keep it with the corporation when he goes away. That's such a shame, considering the fact that the last thing we need is AOLTW messing up CTN any worse, especially when it comes to the afore-mentioned HB characters, where, though the Flintstones get perfect respect, Scooby-Doo gets the star treatment as he always did, but on a rediculous scale under Warner Brothers, and the first-wave of characters are treated like dirt, where in the days of yore, they were treated just fine as second-in-comand to Scooby and Fred.

Perhaps the new corporation or the man taking Turner's place should fire Jamie Kellner, as he is the main aggrivation to some of you here watching CTN.

From what I've heard, Cartoon Network will stay with AOL Time-Warner for a nice, long time. Ted Turner is looking into reaquiring TNT and TBS.

I remember the DuckTales episdoe "Yuppie Ducks" where Heuy, Dewey, and Louie said "we want cartoons, 26 hours A day." Who'd A thunk that we'd get such A network?
