Per MOS:ELLAYOUT, the nature of the articles that were included as external links is more pertinent to a further reading section. Two are out of date, and the third was more about the emergence of short-form Internet content. I have transferred them here and if they were to be re-added to the article it should be under the further reading section.

In 2001, Cartoon Network launched Toonami Reactor, the first ever streaming channel in the U.S. Created through its new media division and in partnership with the Toonami brand, Reactor debuted on March 26 as a 12-week online experiment. The platform offered fans a curated lineup of 40 episodes from Dragon Ball Z’s Frieza Saga, 26 web-exclusive episodes of Star Blazers, plus four new games—two inspired by Dragon Ball Z and two made just for Toonami. Its runaway success proved the appetite for streaming long before it became the norm, ultimately leading Cartoon Network to evolve the platform into Toonami Jetstream, paving the way for the future of digital animation.

 Not done: Needs a reliable secondary source, not an inline external link. As written, the text is overly promotional. LizardJr8 (talk) 18:11, 27 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

To add: The Toonami Reactor link is the Fandom wiki. Fandom is user-generated and unacceptable as a source. Pyxis Solitary (yak). ⚢ 09:41, 28 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Overview of platforms and availability section belongs in List of streaming media services, which contains numerous streaming platforms and their particular details. This article is about a type of television. It is not about the streaming platforms, their applications, and availability. It's enough that there is a section for a select number of streaming television providers. This overview section is more appropriate in the streaming platforms list article.
