CW going online only? The end of TV as we know it

Is the CW going online only? Seems like it, Apparently online viewing has been increased while TV is declining dramatically which is good news for the FCC auction block to wireless companies.

CW stations will be encouraged to auction their channels to wireless companies including one affiliate that was about to leave the Broadcast TV business.

TV is soon coming to an end as more watchers get their shows online and simply cutting their cable/satellite and watch their shows on the laptop. Very soon, we could see TVs piled up on the curb sometimes later next year early 2013, or mid-2014. On another hand, people will start buying internet-enabled TVs and Rokus for viewership.

And for Toonzai? They're gone too after that.

Update: Theres was an error.  This was an old April Fools Joke.

Bring Back Toonami

You may have heard about Toonami that just aired on April Fool's Day on Adult Swim. People were to expect to watch the usual porno movie "The Room" every April Fool's. On Twitter, Adult Swim posted after the block "Want it Back? Let us know.". It seems apparently that CN is trying to compete with TeenNick's "The 90s are All That".

Anime News Network has bit the dust because of their hosting service Cloudflare

If you go to ANN, and you see a this message:


Website is currently unavailable

This website is currently unavailable. Please try again at a later time. 


This means that Cloudflare, ANN's hosting service has suspended their hosting account due to:

1. Overdue bills.

2. Financial issues.

3. Cloudflame may have receive DMCA complaints from Anime media companies and Japanese broadcasters for either linking to a infringing website,  or posting a copyrighted article without their permission.

So apparently ANN may have bit the dust. You will no longer read the latest of your favorite comic Anime News Nina. No updates on Anime companies, conventions, etc.

The only alternative is Anime Vice or Gaijinside.

Unless ANN is back online, there's no news that this has been confirmed that ANN is gone.


Update: Corrected name of the hosting company.

Update: ANN back online. This means they must gone under maintenance or paid off the overdue bill for their hosting account.
