Here's some noticeble cable channels that I think is going downhill:
1.
Cartoon Network. Reason why... First off: They stopped showing all of the "good cartoons." As a result, they "rolled on their own" (probliy in refrence to to their sister network, Boomerang). Second: They keep showing all of these stupid and really boring Japanese animes. I hate anime! Third: They are airing live-action movies that are not animated and movies thats shown on either basic cable/satellite/broadcast takes away all of the good stuff. I also hate commercials! See link below:

CNBC. Reason why... The anchors become more important than the market. America is in a financal crises and the price of oil keeps going up! See link below:

CNN/CNN Headline News. Reason why... When they canceled
Inside Pollitics Crossfire,
Newsnight, and
Palla Zhan Live. Also over at Headline News, their sister network jumped too when they launched "Headline Prime" back in 2005. I hate Glen Beck and they need to bring back Aarron Brown, Palla Zhan, and Judy Woodruff! Also, the news had became too harsh these days since Hurricane Katrina.

Tru TV (formaly Court TV). Reason why... Nancy Grace anchors (including Headline News), they have bad programming choices, and the overall theme changed. No one is watching 20+ year old reruns of
COPS! I also think it was a bad idea to rename Court TV.

E! Reason why... Day one. West cost bias sucks! Nuff said.
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/E-News/E-News-General-Comments/6156.
Fox News Channel. Reason why: Day one, its more like "Republican TV," Declared that Bush won Florida back in 2000, annoying news alerts every four minutes, it attempted to be hip, and having all of those annoying scrawls, tickers, and pop-ups. (Even both CNN and MSNBC does it too as well as TWC!) At lease I don't mind the gas mask reporting.
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Fox-News-Channel/Fox-News-Channel-General-Comments/712?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true7.
GSN. Reason why: They hide the classics, they always condense the credits, they have a stupid time compression, and also, they have a lack of the Goodman/Todman classics.
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Game-Network/Game-Network-General-Comments/744?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true8.
The History Channel. Reason why: They dumbed down and when they stopped airing all of the documentaries.
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/History-Channel/History-Channel-General-Comments/914?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true9.
MTV. Reason why: Shows instead of videos, Yo MTV Raps,
Beavis and Butt-head get canned, recycling (the same shows again!), they stopped showing the astronaut sticking the flag on the moon, and commercials. They don't even have good music anymore! Something which even TWC would not air!
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Mtv-Music-Television/Mtv-Music-Television-General-Comments/1364?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true10.
Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite. Reason why: Lousy shows (like on rival Cartoon Network), annoying Jimmy Neutron ads, when they stopped showing the game shows, too much
SpongeBob, plays the same shows too much,
Avatar,
Catscratch, Nick at Nite overkill, and too much
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air reruns.
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Nickelodeon/Nickelodeon-General-Comments/1430?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true11.
VH1. Reason why: No more videos (just like on their sister network, MTV), celeb-Reality,
The Fabulous Life of __________, and all countdowns, all the time!
http://www.jumptheshark.com/topic/Vh1/Vh1-General-Comments/20714?chartStart=0&chartRange=500&chartOnly=true12.
The Weather Channel. Reason why: They started to create full-length programs, became too political ever since the 2005 Hurricane season, the guy started talking over the local forecasts,
It Could Happen Tomorrow, it became "the hurricane authority," everything is life or death, they became alarmists, when they changed the typeface on the local forecast, IntelliSTAR, they axed the WeatherSTAR 3000, they stopped doing "Weather and Your Home," when Hillary Andrews left, the 2005 relaunch, when Jim Cantore started shaving his scalp, the death of John Hope,
Forecast Earth, and when they started airing in HD.

TV Guide Network (formaly Prevue Guide/Prevue Channel/TV Guide Channel). Reason why: Rupert Merdoct bought out TV Guide and "FOXed" it up, when they stopped using the local program guide scroll, when they shrunked the local TV listings and added graffical ads (including the magizine), when they started showing orginal programing, too much
American Idol, and when they disconenued the program preview segments (like
Prevue Tonight, and
Family VUE). I now find the newspaper and the internet to be more useful these days!
14.
ESPN/ESPN2. Reason why: Stuart Scott has to constantly prove he's "da bomb," they cover the WNBA, it got Disneyfied (I really hate Disney and I wish The Walt Disney Company would sell ESPN!), they only talk about games on
their networks (including ABC Sports), they "FOXed"-up the set and logo, and when Rupert Murdoch buys the regional networks (even though he really owns rival FSN).

TNT. Reason why: "We Know Drama." No body is watching anymore!
16.
FX. Reason why: its a ripoff of Fox! 'Nuff said.
16.
WGN America (formally Superstation WGN). Reason why: When they stopped showing
WGN Morning News on their cable channel, when they stopped showing
Bozo the Clown, whenever they would black out their local Chicago newscasts with reruns of crappy shows or edited movies, reruns of crappy shows and edited movies, when they stopped showing The WB and never showed The CW on their cable channel, and lastly... CUBS MANIA!!! I hate the Cubs!
I'm really a St. Louis Cardinals fan!
So there you have it. I'm so sorry you guys. I still love TWC and I still like to watch it. Its just that they made it so harsh these days. It not like how it was back in the '80s, '90s, and all the way into the early 2000s (before the 2005 relaunch).
Plus I miss the WeatherSTAR 3000.
