Under Snyder, CN's programming also began to have looser standards, with many series being rated TV-PG, as well as being more creator-driven than those of years past. His regime did have its missteps, however, such as an attempt to branch the network into reality television programming with the CN Real block in 2009.
On March 31, 2014, Stuart Snyder was confirmed to have been removed as president and COO of Turner's Animation, Young Adults & Kids Media division after company changes.Stuart Snyder Out at Turner. Variety.com Retrieved on March 18, 2014. Christina Miller was named his successor.
