Debuting in 2001, Adult Swim serves as the nighttime identity of Cartoon Network, and it was established as alternative programming during late night hours when Cartoon Network's primary target audience, children between the ages of 6 and 12, would normally be sleeping. In 2005, Adult Swim was split from Cartoon Network and was granted its own Nielsen ratings report from Cartoon Network due to it targeting a separate demographic. Despite this, it continues to share channel space with Cartoon Network. The block features stylistically varied animated and live-action shows, including original programming, syndicated series, anime, original video animations, and short films with generally minimal or no editing for content.
