You know, if the law never passed, maybe the movement of animation to cable would be a bit smaller.

Y’know, I would say the lack of E/I restrictions would just kill the kid blocks sooner and replace them with news, sports, or infomercials, but the lack of AD restrictions keeping kid programming more profitable might keep even weekday kids blocks around longer. Maybe this could lead to free OTA kids channels. ABC affiliates could get a sub channel feed of Disney Channel, CW could get Cartoon Network, Fox Kids would make the jump, etc.
Right!
Or TimeWarner could create a Kids' WB channel and leave CN alone.
But Fox Kids making the jump to it's own channel is a great idea.
Maybe instead of the Hub or Universal Kids, cartoons like MLP:FiM or She-Ra PoP (assuming they aren’t butterflied) go on Fox Kids instead.

I had a fun little idea for any musical fans out here: what if 'Chicago' and 'A Chorus Line' switched fates?
During the 30th Tony Awards, 'Chicago' wins Best Musical... and sweeps a bunch of other categories. Basically, the inverse of what happened IOTL:
Chicago during the 1976 Tony Awards:
A Chorus Line:
Nearly a decade later in 1985, instead of A Chorus Line being adapted into the big screen, Chicago gets that treatment instead, with Michael Douglas starring as lawyer Billy Flynn, and the Velma and Roxie roles given to unknown actresses. The reviews come in, and they are equally as negative as the ones that the A Chorus Line 1985 movie received IOTL:
The New York Times (30/100): "Chicago is less a movie than an expensive souvenir program".
The 1975 Broadway production of Chicago, however, gets great reviews and boosts Chita Rivera's and Gwen Verdon's careers to great heights. The Broadway production has over 6,000 performances and goes through a revival in 2006. No more movies are made.
A Chorus Line, on the other hand, runs on Broadway until the end of the 70s. It then goes through an astronomical revival in 1996, sweeping the 1997 Tony Awards. It becomes a global production, opening in London, Australia, and many other countries.
In 2002, A Chorus Line finally makes it to the silver screen. The film stars Richard Gere in the role of play director Zach, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Cassie. Critics love it, and it's the smash box office hit of 2003:
This felt almost sacrilegious to write given how good the 2002 Chicago movie is, and how it probably makes for a better movie than A Chorus Line ever did. But anyway, a random idea that I feel wouldn't be out of place in the Fringe alternate universe!

So what would pop culture looks like? It won't be good
This is NYC still attacked or Al-qaeda Decided to go all in against DC?
What are they about? I could help depending on what they're are.
Well in the gaming department in one timeline there’s a three way race between Microsoft Nintendo and Sony and in the other timeline the Nintendo and Sega and it intels partnerships between Nintendo/Sony and Microsoft/Sega
Well one of the timeline has a Nintendo/Sony and Microsoft/Sega rivalry
I like the thought of Nintendo/Sony vs Microsoft/Sega in my mind for a while now
