Simple answer: Kids prefer YouTube, Netflix, etc and nearly everyone has high-speed internet now. Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney, PBS, etc are all available on one streaming service or another and those are getting new shows all the time, but maybe not as often.
It's not as financially viable to air a show on TV these days, not like it used to be. The commercials that keep these shows on air are not getting the viewership they would if they just advertised online.
