Put their eggs on the right merchandise, right demographics and timeslot. YJ gets circa 2 million viewers at 10:30 a.m.. If they were to air it, say, around... sigh... Advanture Time, they'd see those ratings skyrocket. Even their precious Ben 10 doesn't compete with YJ ratings-wise, but they know how to market it, that's why Ben 10 is The Thing What Won't Die. Without SW and YJ, they basically lost their highest ratings shows of the morning block. I'm sure they think that TTG or BtB will produce the same numbers. I doubt it, though their biggest chance is with BtB, but the premise isn't really teen/adult appealing. And I don't see 18-40-year-olds waking up early to catch TTG.

The smartest thing would be cashing in on a fandom that already exists, not to mention when it is a show on high demand. #6 of all episodes on iTunes, and the only animated one in the top #59. GL was #60 and then not another animated show till #110. Nuff said. But knowing CN, they're run by extremely incompetent people...obviously no knowledge in marketing skills as it would appear. This SW "cancellation" may hopefully work in our favor to get new seasons, but we can only hope. Cartoon Network really needs to rethink their advertising campaigns if they were to give YJ and GLTAS new seasons
