Check the Youtube link if you don't believe the Toonami shutdown. That clip proved what those anime news sites were reporting yesterday. The article was due for a text update anyway...

-'''Toon Disney''' is an American cable television channel which began broadcasting on April 18, 1998 (the date was chosen to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the launch of its parent channel, {{wp|Disney Channel}}). It is owned by The [[Walt Disney Company]], who also owns the [[Miramax]] film studio.
+'''Toonami''' is an extension of [[Cartoon Network]].  It formerly aired [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and, after [[Kids' WB!]] stopped airing new episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|Battle Frontier]].
-Toon Disney has shown the ''Pokémon'' motion pictures distributed in the United States by sister company [[Miramax|Miramax Films]]: ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'', ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''.  On February 1st, 2009, Toon Disney will be succeeded by {{wp|Disney XD}}, a channel geared towards boys ages 6-14. Not alot of fans were disappointed at this, as they have critisized it, mainly due to the action block, {{wp|Jetix}}, which will also be taken off the air in America.
+The Toonami block aired for the final time on September 20, 2008.
+Although the Toonami block itself has ended, the block's streaming-video service [[Toonami Jetstream]], which currently shows episodes from the [[Master Quest]] arc of the Pokémon anime, will continue operations for the forseeable future.
