Toonami announced on its Facebook page yesterday that Adult Swim is losing its 8pm hour. As a result of this Toonami will be moving its start time from 11:30 back to midnight. It will not lose any time slots and will remain three and a half hours. The move has nothing to do with Toonami’s ratings, the network was very happy with Toonami’s perfomance at 11:30p. The Adult Swim Time change is what necessitated the push back to midnight as stated by Jason DeMarco.
