What happened to BKN?

Here in Hawaii, back when it was on TV, Roughnecks were on the SciFi channel at like 3am(or later, I forget). Hawaii is rarely counted in ratings anyway. SciFi had the army dog and the BKN(network?) in the morning for this block of cartoons...Where are they now???
It was great; Extreme Ghostbusters, Roughnecks, and Monster Rancher were all great shows. As for Roughnecks and Monster Rancher the story lines were the coolest around. And both series never came to a conclusion.AHHHHHHHhhhhhh!!! I'm still upset about that..anyway.
I still have tapes with the dog saying:"And now back to BKN 'guitar riff'"
Is BKN still on some cable or sattlite station somewhere? I figure they must be because they had such great picks for shows.

I believe BKN went bankrupt as the bigger animation houses got better series and channels.

Yeah, I'm not to sure on how it happened but they went bankrupt.

The Roughnecks... ah the good days. When they were on I went to the site and emailed the staff... I told them how I loved the show and they replied, With bad news that BKN would be going off and so would the show.

I was just about to make a post asking what happened to BKN since I can't find any info on the net. I use to tape Starship Troopers all the time (it started at 7:30 I think and I had to be at school at that time) I think BKN has been off the air for years if I’m not mistaken. Gee, those were the good old days.

While BKN Kids bit the dust several years ago, BKN itself is far from dead. Take a look at my "BKN is back" thread on another forum at http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=156479 for some of the latest developments.

Wow! Awesome. It's good to see BKN back on its feet.

They do not even have the Roughnecks on their site at all . . .
