I want to make it clear this doesn’t mean Cartoon Network, the channel is getting pulled from cable and will only be accessible on Tubi. But the platform is making it easier for fans to watch shows they grew up with, a task that was impossible to do for years. The only catch is having to endure a few ads instead of paying a subscription. With everything getting more expensive nowadays, seeing some ads is worth it to keep these titles from becoming lost media.
Why Aren’t These Shows on HBO Max?
Over the years, many Cartoon Network and classic cartoon titles vanished from HBO Max (now back to just “Max”), often with little warning.
Reports tied the removals to Warner Bros. Discovery’s trying to save as much money as possible following the company’s merger with Discovery. The purge gave WBD an excuse to move away from children’s animation to focus on producing a broader category of family-friendly entertainment and adult-oriented content. Most of the titles weren’t generating a significant amount of views, so the company would classify them as a loss to receive tax write-offs.
Also, removing those shows meant Warner Bros. could avoid making residual payments and licensing fees. It’s worth noting that WBD’s total revenue in 2025 is estimated to be $37.86 billion USD in 2025, $39.3 billion USD in 2024 and $41.32 billion USD in 2023.
Once they’re off Max, they become “library content” that can be licensed to free, ad-supported platforms (FAST), and on-demand streaming services like the Disney+/Hulu bundle. Tubi already added Looney Tunes to its library after Warner Bros. let the licensing contract expire. The deal with Cartoon Network is an extension of that model. Warner Bros. gets to generate revenue from their library without having to pay extra to host it on Max.
Who Actually Values Cartoon Network Here?
Since its merger, it feels like Warner Bros. Discovery has made Cartoon Network less of a priority. Cartoons that were scheduled to air on the network never saw the light of day, and the only shows getting renewed were spin-offs of popular series. Meanwhile, WBD invested all their resources into IPs like DC, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones–adjacent projects.
That doesn’t mean WBD thinks Cartoon Network is worthless. The company just thinks it’s more valuable as an asset it can license to other platforms. If Teen Titans generates more shareholder value as part of a bulk license than as a buried tile on Max, their bottom line wins.
While the deal with Tubi is wonderful for fans, it doesn’t resolve the bigger issue. What is the future of Cartoon Network?
More people are cutting the cord as cable TV is littered with “ghost channels” filled with nothing but reruns of select shows. So far, we don’t know if the rest of Cartoon Network’s catalog will pop up on Tubi at some point. Is Warner Bros. Discovery waiting until they finalize their merger with Netflix (assuming Paramount doesn’t get its way and buys WBD out first).
Plus, it’s worth remembering that these shows are only available on Tubi for as long as the licensing contract is renewed. The same shows that vanished from Max could disappear from Tubi if WBD needs to cut costs again. And then what happens? There are no easy answers, so for now let’s just be grateful these titles have a home right now.
