VOOM GOES BOOM

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Cablevision has decided to suspend its Voom satellite service, which included the ANIMANIA channel that was showing vintage UPA, Screen Gems (Fox & Crow), Dick Tracy, Felix The Cat (60s), Pink Panther and assorted DePatie Freleng cartoons in glorious high-def. The service never grew beyond a modest 25,000 subscribers in 2004.

Check out their classic website while you still have a chance.
