That is correct. The trademarks for Adult Swim and Toonami are owned by The Cartoon Network Inc not WB.

Yeah, I didn't see that one coming especially considering Versant is made up of Pay TV networks. I wonder what they plan to do with the Free TV Networks group and what changes they may make to the networks. I assume they are probably going to do some programming crossover from the Pay TV to OTA/FAST

Also, there was no TV rating Box at the beginning of the special. Now the question is is it a good thing or a bad thing that it had so many paid advertisements. I don't remember previous years broadcasts having this many paid advertisements, but I could be wrong.

My experience with the special airing this year was largely the same as yours, as confirmed by this video I posted on my own YouTube page. youtu.be/u0F0Bnkqoas?...

I saw a very fast CW Happy Holidays bumper during the commercial breaks. Only one CW promo. Also, no split screen credits this year. Think I saw less paid advertisements and more CW promos during Wild Cards on Wednesday earlier this week. Not sure if I should consider that a good thing or bad thing.

That was a lot of paid advertisements during the commercial breaks during this year's broadcast. No CW bumpers going to and from commercial break, just straight to and from a paid advertisement. I saw a very fast CW Happy Holidays bumper during the commercial breaks. Only one CW promo. ...
