By the mid-2010s, all of the major American networks had shifted to live-action documentary programs. These were ostensibly targeted at teenagers to meet the educational mandates but less likely to cause a clash with the newscasts, as the programming was genericized as much as possible to resemble reality television programming for general audiences found on most cable networks (or in the case of Dr. Chris: Pet Vet, general reality programming from overseas re-edited to comply with American mandates). This documentary programming also benefited from having less restrictive rules for advertising compared to programming targeted to children. In the United States, The CW continued to air non-E/I cartoons until September 27, 2014, with the closure of the Vortexx block.[2] The final commercial broadcast network to drop their block of Saturday morning cartoons was NBC on September 25, 2016, with the closure of their preschool and E/I mandated NBC Kids. KidsClick, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, premiered on This TV and broadcast syndication in July of 2017, and shut down on March 31, 2019. As of December 28, 2025, Univision and MeTV are the only two commercial broadcast networks to still broadcast animated programming within a Saturday morning timeslot through their respective Planeta U and Saturday Morning Cartoons blocks, as Quest had dropped their Sunday morning public domain cartoon block, simply titled "Classic Cartoons".
