Cancelled too soon

There are these eight shows I wish weren't cut short and deserved a proper finale. John Doe  (Fox, 2002-03). The Tomorrow People  (The CW, 2013-14). ThunderCats  (Cartoon Network, 2011-12). Aaron Stone  (Disney XD, 2009-10). Legion of Superheroes (Kids' WB, 2006-08). The Spectacular Spider-Man  (Kids' WB and later Disney XD, 2008-09). W.I.T.C.H.  (Jetix and Toon Disney, 2004-06). Danny Phantom  (Nickelodeon, 2004-07).

Channel 4 almost had their own radio station

Image
As in their own line of radio stations, following the acquisition of 51% of DAB radio station Oneword in October 2005 and launch of their radio station Channel 4 Radio in January 2007 but after winning the licence to operate the second national DAB radio multiplex in July 2007, they aborted plans after selling their stake of Oneword in December of the same year that led to its closure the following month and shutting down Channel 4 Radio on October 14, 2008, so here's eight of the proposed stations. E4 Radio Pure4 Talk Radio (not to be confused with Talksport's sister station, hence the logo in question is a generic logo) Closer (based on the magazine) Sky News Radio (spinoff to the Sky TV channel that would've been the expansion of the radio arm as well as LBC being rebranded under the name but LBC owner Global Radio pulled out due to financial reasons) Sunrise Radio UK (national version of the British Asian oriented London radio station, which eventually happened in 2016)...

There's some stuff I don't have any interest

This is important in eight pics. This will contain stuff related to arts and finances. I'm just warning you. Says its best. Look away if you don't want to see this. So, here it is. I have no interest in investing on cryptocurrency. I have no interest on doing NFTs of my stuff. And I have no interest in using AI to create works.

Image
The Big Four comprising of NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox. NBC's longest lasting logo was used from August 26, 1985 to September 30, 2013. CBS' longest lasting logo was used from 1966 to March 1, 2021.

Only available in the United States

Image
Try figuring out the reason why they're unavailable in other countries. Coca-Cola's Pibb Xtra. Instead of Pibb Xtra, Coca-Cola sells Dr Pepper in various countries due to a licencing agreement with Keurig Dr Pepper. Pepsi's Starry. Instead of Starry, Pepsi sells 7Up in various countries also due to a licencing agreement with Keurig Dr Pepper.

These two were pulled for various reasons

Image
Of course, it's Napster and Grooveshark.

U2 almost had their own skyscraper

Yes, really and it was going to be the tallest building in Ireland before plans were scrapped in 2013 due to financial concerns. Since then, the space has been occupied by the Capital Dock building that was completed in 2018.
