This really does suck if you ask me. I kind of had long given up on Toonami since none of my favorite anime shows were on it anymore, though I still caught their airings of Naruto and Bobobobobo from time to time. But being someone who was bred as a child and as an adult to feed off of cartoons, this is truly a terrible program block to lose.
I remember when Toonami first came on WAY back before when Moltar was Space Ghost was airing the likes of Reboot, Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and Johnny Quest. When the kick ass 3 DBZ movie special was airing with the first 3 DBZ movies airing back to back, and had trailers for each film narrated by the late great Don LaFontaine. I watched DBZ religiously on CN's Toonami.
I remember all the artwork submitted, the multiple changes Tom the robot went through, and how even Justice League and Batman Beyond became a part of it. It was an excellent, exciting, and beautifully designed programming block that made superb advertisement ads for its shows with excellent presentation and featured a wide variety of shows over the years.
Toonami, thanks for all you've done, later.
