evidence: The merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery has caused a lot of discussion and controversy over the past few months. However, a new online rumor suggests that due to a merger of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network studios, Cartoon Network will be shutting down. [...] Is Cartoon Network shutting down? At the current time, Cartoon Network is not shutting down. This rumor seems to originate from a Fandom page that has since been deleted by the Fandom wiki’s moderators. The brand, studio, and channel will continue to exist. This change happens behind the scenes, and it won’t affect the programming nor the branding viewers see on the screen at the current time.
