Future uncertain as Toonami UK is bought by Five

According to UKAnime.com, Five (UK TV channel 5) have bought the Toonami license from Turner Broadcasting (citing the license ownership details recently updated by OFCOM).

At this early stage, it’s impossible to tell whether or not this will effect the future direction of the much criticized Toonami TV channel, which despite it’s “Toon” inflicted name, has in recent years skewed its programming from cartoons to live-action sitcoms in an attempt to halt failing audience figures.

Keep in mind that Bravo acquired the “Adult Swim” brand of programming (presumably from Turner) and they now air a late night block of animated comedies (none of which are anime, unfortunately).
