Been a long night and what's going on with the Disney Channel?

Last night was long, 13 slideoffs, two wrecks, and for me its time to rest. So its soon to bed.
I have been watching the Disney Channel for nearly 7 years now. I started watching the Disney Channel because there was a plan with one of our broadcast units going to being a Radio Disney Station, that was back in 2012. At first it was Wizards of Waverly Place that introduced me to Selena Gomez, then came Shake it Up that I thought was about the hottest teen show on tv, which was also the basis of our idea of doing a gig called Shake-it-up Idaho. Then came Jessie, then Austin and Ally, then Good luck Charlie and then rounding it up Dog with a Blog. Of course there was the movies, Radio Rebel, which we reversed for a host and called it Rebel Radio, that featured Debby Ryan, aka Jessie. Sarah Hyland did the movie Geek Charming now doing a bit part in the series on Fox called Modern Family. Now I hear once again that Disney is axing Austin and Ally. Which begs the question, What the hell is going on at the Disney Channel? Why are the cancelling all their money making series', and distancing their mid teen and teen viewers? Does Disney now think they are shielded from revenue earnings just because they ran up the pole the latest edition of Star Wars The Force Awakenes? Sure it was another feather in Disney's cap, but JJ Abrams blew that. It's not Star Wars,  its simply the same thing JJ did with Star Trek, trying to recreate an ancient series, with new actors filling in for old characters, with old plot lines, like Into Darkness was a redoux of The Wrath of Kahn. But I'm getting off subject here. Why is Disney blowing off their best properties and inventories for what? Disney is so needing in inventory they even brought back Hannah Montana. More research needs to be done. Now for the final here, January 4th will be the season finale of all things HazzardAyre, as we are moving the studios and all to Ogden Utah and will therefore be off the air, LIVE anyway until March 1st or so. The shop and all that will remain in Evanston, but there needs to be more on air people on HazzardAyre and that kind of talent is just not available in Evanston, so we're moving it. 
Hazzard County Tymez will be here, but the radio gig is relocating.
If you dig HazzardAyre you can tune into our archives shows at www.livestream.com/hazzardayre . 
Time for sleep see all on the radio around 12 noon.
