Adult Swim is animation brand catered for a viewers older than 18 and owned by WarnerMedia that can be found on MultiChoice's Showmax. It's the home to popular series such as Robot Chicken, Final Space and Rick And Morty.
In a way, the brand has competition through ViacomCBS's Comedy Central as well as Disney's 20th Television Animation which is currently being distributed through M-Net and FOX.
Speaking of Disney, they're planning to close FOX by the end of September which built part of its existence through animation which is set to be a Disney+ exclusive further reducing the offering everywhere else.
As mentioned, there's brands that distribute them but there's no guarantee if they will continue in the near future. Aside from FOX even ViacomCBS's Comedy Central has been feeling like "The Walking Dead" which is where part of this idea enters.
WarnerMedia Africa operates Toonami which is geared towards viewers aged 13-18 years so why not follow France and book a slot for them. Better yet, TNT once offered the content for a limited period perhaps sprinkle this to the existing AEW which would boost its value even further.
Canada already operates a 24 hour channel through Corus Entertainment which leverages animation from Disney so why not do that instead.
Ideally, Adult Swim has a platform through Showmax and some of the offering seen on the platform eventually make their linear debut so if not on a seperate channel perhaps an existing channel even one from a competitor.
