By Alexander Ross
Over the past decade, the catalog of Cartoon Network classics has shifted across streaming platforms, reflecting the turbulent economics of digital animation rights. The journey of Courage the Cowardly Dog highlights how legacy properties move from niche cable broadcasts to high-priced subscriptions, and finally toward ad-supported digital homes.

| 1999, 2002 | Cartoon Network | Linear Cable Television | Original broadcast of 52 half-hour episodes (102 segments) |
| 2015, 2019 | Boomerang App / Hulu | SVOD ($4.99, $7.99/mo) | Rotating seasonal batches; partial standard-definition transfers |

As media companies re-evaluate their back catalogs, legacy animated series are moving outside walled paywalls. Licensing packages to free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platforms allows studios to generate recurring advertising revenue while introducing retro brands to audiences who cut the cord years ago.
