For ratings purposes, Turner Broadcast will split Adult Swim's from Cartoon Network at the end of this month. The split will see two separate networks, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, carried on the same cable channels at different times of the day.

Ratings tracking firm Nielson will begin classifying Adult Swim as a separate network on Monday, March 28th.

The move will improve Adult Swim's appearance in ratings comparisons, the new network will be #1 in its time period on basic cable among adults 18-34, with 11 of the top 50 ad-supported cable programs among adults 18-34.

Is this the first sign that CN & Adultswim are going forward with the idea of two seperate Channels?? ;)

They have mentioned that they would like to do that, however they were unsure if it would be viable. This could be their first steps to testing the market place.

In a way this doesn't make sense at all. They are still going to show Cartoon Network stuff during the day?

yeah thats what im thinking
from what i heard it takes alot of time and hard work
and its just hard to get your own channel
so im guessing there trying this out to see what
happens with a long time spot on tv and if it
does do good then they will probably make there
own channel
i mean they made boomerang they schould only
have a adult swim network if you ask me

They should get more adultswim shows or at least show some of Cartoon Networks current anime uncut.
