Someone else mentioned a while ago that they saw no upcoming anime listed for SyFy, and it looks like the block has finally failed.

I don't know what happened, but I'd guess ratings didn't hold in spite of airing some rather highly regarded anime - perhaps because of high repeat rotation. I do know I was one of the viewers they lost when they started moving the block around. It's hard to keep track sometimes.

I think that the licenses for what they were showing ran out.

Or maybe they killed it on purpose? Cause it used to be on Monday nights, but then they switched it to Tuesday, and then later to Thursday without much notice.

This was known about a month ago, and it ended in June.

So now all we have are Cartoon Network, G4 (starting up again soon), Nicktoons, and Toonzai (4 Kids stuff on WB).

If I forgot anything (non video on demand/really specialty channels that not everybody gets) let us know.
