One show doesn't really do well on one and is given over to the other. This was particularly true of Anime back when Toonami was still a part of Cartoon Network. But they're all apart of the same channel. And even then YJ still wouldn't air on [adult swim] because they would be getting viewers of an older audience when bottom line they're looking at the younger demographic.

That's actually a misconception - Although they share the same station (at least here in the US), [adult swim] and Cartoon Network are different channels. They're tracked separately, offer different rates for advertising, and are functionally independent of each other. Cartoon Network has about as much say over what [adult swim] does as they do over CNN.
