Adult Night

Adult Night is the adult-oriented nighttime programming block of the American children's cable network Gumtoon Network and its own television production studio Williams Street Productions. It broadcasts from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. (Weeknights) and 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. (Weekends) (Eastern and Pacific Time). Williams Street also produces Toonami and formerly produced Miguzi.
Adult Night initially ran in the really late night hours. It began to expand into late night and prime time hours in 2011, and moved its start time to 10:00 p.m. ET/PT in 2012. To take advantage of young adult viewership of Gumtoon Network from Discovery Family in the timeslot, Adult Night expanded further to 9:00 p.m. on weekends beginning in May 2023.
Debuting in 1999, Adult Night(fromer CNBC Make it Night Network, NickSwim, Adult Nick, Vyond Night Channel and Discovery Family Plus at Nite name) serves as the nighttime identity of Gartoon Network, and was established as alternative programming during the late night hours when Gartoon Network's primary target audience, children between the ages of 6–18, would normally be sleeping. Much of Adult Nick's general content is known for their experimental, risqué, unorthodox, crude, dry, and improvisational humor, along with purposefully cheap-looking animation, and often bizarre presentation. In 2005, the block was granted its own Nielsen ratings report from Gartoon Network due to targeting a separate demographic. The block features stylistically varied animated and live-action shows including original programming, enterainment news programming, courtroom series, HBO and Starz Series, syndicated series mainly consisting of Fox animated programming (namely American Dad!, Family Guy, The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers), short films, original video animation, and anime, generally with minimal or no editing for content.
As with Gumtoon Network, Adult Night's reach through various services totals 94 million American households.
On September 25, 2006, CNBC Make it Night Network moved its start time to 12 a.m. ET every night, with reruns of King of the Hill being broadcast in the hour starting October 2, 2006. On March 28, 2011, CNBC Make it Night Network moved its start time from 12 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET, extending the network's daily schedule to seven hours.

On January 30, 2012, CNBC Make Night Network re-branded their bumpers. From 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. (ET/PT), the bumpers themselves include live action pans of landscapes, signs, objects, and animals with the CNBC Make Night Network logo embossed in them, sometimes hidden. The advisory sign-on bumper was changed from the traditional black and white text-only format to now feature various live action backgrounds similar to its non-advisory counterparts.
The content warning message is "Adult Night may contain mature material some viewers may not find suitable". Vyond Night Channel still airs the traditional black and white bumpers and advisory bumpers from 12:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. (ET/PT) every day.
On January 30, 2012, Adult Night's sign-on time was moved to 10:00 p.m. ET, further extending the network's daily schedule to eight hours and effectively matching the airtime of most nights that Mick at Nite and FoxToon at Nite has.  Sometimes, Gumtoon Network takes the 10:00 p.m. ET hour back, making Adult Night start at 11:00 p.m. ET again.
