Top 10 T.V. Channels that Have Gotten Worse

MTV
MTV is an American basic cable television channel owned by Paramount Skydance through Paramount Media Networks. Launched in 1981, the channel initially gained popularity by airing music videos hosted by video jockeys.
Over the years, MTV expanded its programming to include reality shows, scripted... read more
As soon as I read the topic, MTV was on my mind as far as taking a downward spiral from "music entertainment" to "why is this a channel?"
The first time MTV came on, it was awesome because metal and rock were on it. But now pop has taken over.
When I listen to music, I turn to MTV. But what do I see? A lot of shows that don't have anything to do with music. Ridiculous and so stupid. I want a normal music channel.

Cartoon Network

Discovery and is known for airing animated programming targeted primarily at children. The network has been home to many iconic shows, including Dexter's... read more
Cartoon Network has now become a sad and hollow shell of its former glory, run by that lazy, worthless, useless, and stupid Christina Miller who is ruining everything. But her time in Cartoon Network is coming to an end.
In fact, there are lots of people petitioning to bring back all the old classic cartoon TV series back on the air on Cartoon Network, remove Teen Titans Go from the air, and get Christina Miller fired from Cartoon Network for good. Let's give them a helping hand and speed up the process. It's time to raise hell on Christina Miller's sorry and worthless self. It's time to bring Cartoon Network back to what it used to be, and it's time to get this party started and bring back the good old days again. "Are you with me? Are you with me? Let's get started!"

Disney Channel
Now it has horrible shows like Shake It Up - they can't act or sing. Another show, Ant Farm, is so dumb. I'm a teenager, and I slap myself in the face because I used to watch Disney Channel. The only good show, Wizards of Waverly Place, was canceled.
Plus, on the side, Shake It Up had an episode, Party It Up, about eating disorders that was not funny. I mean, they're teaching children that eating disorders are OK when they're not. What happened to That's So Raven and other great shows? I believe Disney Channel should be number one.
This channel sucks, but my sister loves it.

Animal Planet
They put Treehouse Masters and gold digging, and other shows that are not animal-related.

Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon is an American pay television channel that began as a test broadcast on December 1, 1977, before launching nationally under its current name on April 1, 1979. It is owned by Paramount Skydance and is based in New York City. The network is widely known for its original children's programming... read more
While Nickelodeon was my favorite channel growing up, it wasn't until the logo changed that people knew Nickelodeon had changed too. The problems with modern Nickelodeon are the obsession with shows like SpongeBob, which has suffered seasonal rot. They even have teen sitcoms with laugh tracks every five seconds. At least shows like Game Shakers and Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, and Dawn got this right, but the treatment of these shows is sometimes like how they treat SpongeBob.
What did the Nicktoons do that made Cyma Zarghami accept more sitcoms? Speaking of Nicktoons, their modern ones are horrible. We got one show where they make butt jokes and have character designs that are rip-offs of Bob's Burgers. Interesting, right? There's also a show where poorly drawn ducks deliver bread and twerk. And let's not forget NICK STUDIO 10, which would get annoying when you are about to get to the best part of your favorite SpongeBob episode, and then they interrupt it with a weird video and skip the part you wanted to see.
However, it can be said that Nickelodeon is improving and has been like this since 2015 with Season 9B of SpongeBob, Harvey Beaks, Loud House, Miraculous, TMNT 2012, and Bunsen is a Beast. But the dark ages are still not-so-fond memories.

Boomerang
Boomerang is an American cable television network. It is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery through its Global Linear Networks division. The channel primarily airs animated programming from the Warner Bros. Animation library.
I HATE Boomerang now with a burning passion. They got rid of the retro and vintage stuff and replaced it with the worst CN shows and shows that look like rejects. Seriously, the ZhuZhus?! They died out in 2010 or 2011. Why can't Betty Cohen or Jim Samples return as president? Or even both?
(I called them "stupid hacks" earlier and when I said DreamWorks Dragons was the only good show, I forgot Mr. Bean.) I give this channel a grade F-! See me after class!
Why! You stupid hacks! Why did you rebrand? No more classics. The logo was a blue boomerang b. It made sense. But this? The only good modern shows on (excluding spinoffs like Scooby Doo: Mystery Inc.) were DreamWorks Dragons. It is now CN 2. No one wanted this. I hope Miss Miller gets what she deserves.
Sincerely, an Aspie nerd.

VH1
Ever since season 1 of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta ended, the new shows that are airing right now are not so good.
This could be the new BET channel.
-
Food Network
All of their Holiday Baking Competition shows suck now, and Eddie Jackson has to be the worst judge in the history of Food Network. Not to mention they did Bobby Flay dirty.

Disney XD

The channel primarily targets older children with a mix of animated and live-action programming. It has featured popular shows such as Phineas and Ferb... read more

Now, because most sources of funding have been depleted, it'll now be a rerun farm for the most part.

Freeform
I am not happy when they changed it to ABC Family and pulled off all the cartoons.

Nick Jr.
I would say the current shows from 2013 to now because the shows have become total cash cows.

Universal Kids
For me, Universal Kids/Sprout has gone downhill the most when it comes to kids' networks. What was once the cable network for PBS Kids has now been reduced to a network that airs the same six programs every day (three of them being Netflix originals, and one is Cocomelon, which you can watch for free on YouTube).
Literally, the only show on the network that isn't on either YouTube or Netflix is Remy & Boo. No wonder Universal Kids is the lowest-rated kids' network of all time. If that vulture of a network Qubo was still around, then Universal Kids would be dead by now.
