Sounds like how I rolled back in the day. Most of the cartoons/children's shows, barring Romper Room, were either on Channels 5 (WNEW/WNYW) or 11 (WPIX). Seems that we are of the same age range, as the time I became a conscious TV watcher was when the local stations had introduced Superfriends and Scooby reruns. Both were on PIX, I seem to remember the SF package only having Wendy and Marvin (split into two-parters), the Challenge of the Superfriends, and the core team episodes that aired in SatAM with Challenge (the Wonder Twins were part of this lineup). I want to say the All-New SF Hour and World's Greatest SF were still being seen on ABC. Maybe the early '80s shorts packages? The Scoobys I remembered seeing on PIX would include Where Are You?, The New Scooby Movies (again, divided into half hours), and the 1978 series. So who had what otherwise? 5 = Popeye, Looney Tunes, Woody Woodpecker/Universal....they'd also acquire He-Man and Inspector Gadget. 11 = Tom and Jerry, Josie and the Pussycats, Pink Panther/United Artists, the TV Mr. Magoo shorts. Also known for Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse (which were apparently used as filler for Yankees' rain delays) and...The Magic Garden. Around the cartoon schedules, there were sitcoms of course, but of note would be 5 carrying the 1966 Batman late afternoons. 11 would likewise get the series at the time(s) of the Burton movies. I turn 45 next month. In 80 or so channel 15 outta Mobile AL added Batman 66 reruns to their after school line up. They would show an episode of it then Three Stooges. You have me beat by 3 years. Just 42 here, as of last month. The Stooges here weren't really weekday things, at least as far as I remember. Think you only saw them on Sundays, along with Abbott and Costello.

In my area back then they started airing at like 530am Mon thru Fri in maybe 78. Then moved to afternoons on the same channel by 82. The same channel ,after cartoons were over,on Saturdays would air movies. Like one month they would show 2 of the old b/w Blondie and Dagwood films every Saturday after noon. The next month it was 2 martial art flicks each Saturday. I got to see so many films I would have never seen thanks to WPMI.

Ah, to be in the 80s and live in Orange County. Two channels (KTTV 11 and KCOP 13] with cartoon blocks both classic and current, plus SatAM on the networks. Add to that Nickelodeon and Disney in 1985, plus HBO free previews and it. Was. GOOD.

As a kid who grew up mostly without cable as a kid, my sources for kids programming was a mixture of syndicated cartoons(sailor Moon, AoSTH, Megaman, etc), PBS Kids(Arthur, Sesame Street, The Magic School Bus, etc), Kids WB(Freakazoid, Earthworm Jim, Pokemon, Pinky and the Brain, etc.), Fox Kids(Sam & Max, Digimon, Eek the Cat, Spider-Man, etc.), ABC(Reboot, The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, Recess, Pepper Ann, 101: the series, etc), and Spanish channels(They aired spanish dubs of Rugrats and Dragon Ball Z).
I miss when you had a lot of choices and the cable networks didn't hoard all the shows behind paywalls. Pretty much the only thing on network TV nowadays is PBS Kids and Qubo(which Vegas doesn't get).
Thank goodness for internet streaming.

Had satellite TV in UK, which had a kids TV channel that ran from 6 to 6 each day, remember watching a lot of cartoons on there like Gravedale High and Galaxy High (and shows not set in a high school), there was also a show on Sky One (considered the main satellite channel), that had a thing called the DJ Cat show (who was a puppet) which had a bunch of shows including first run Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (Ninja was a bad word then),
Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network both arrived in the UK in the same month (September 93)

As a German, my sources were a bit different than anybody else's in this thread probably.
When I grew up (late 1980s-early 1990s), there were no pure children channels in Germany. Therefore, the main sources were channels like Tele5 who had an afternoon cartoon block with various US and Japanese animated programs for the weekdays after school and on the weekends it was RTL and Sat.1 who would show a morning cartoon block with mostly US shows.
Later, the first German channel for children, Super RTL, was created in 1995 which I also added to my regular rotation and which had an awesome block in the early evening until 8pm showing various Disney Afternoon shows which was my jam. Not to mention RTL2 that debuted in 1993 and had a weekday afternoon block as well which in 1999 shifted to a purely anime block which was also my jam when I first got into anime in 1999.
Speaking of that, when I first saw cartoons during a holiday in the US in late 1999, I was pretty confused. You see in Germany, during the cartoons were no commercial breaks. The commercials would come in between cartoon episodes in 4-5 minute blocks. And all the commercials were for stuff children were interested in, not stuff like insurance, diapers or oxygen tanks (that last one especially...WTF?)

KPLR Channel 11 in St. Louis aired various classic cartoon blocks throughout the 80s and early 90s like Casper, Mighty Mouse, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and of course the original Voltron dubs. They also had the rights to Disney Afternoon, and fun weekday morning shows like Mighty Max, and Mutant League, Kids WB and the first Pokémon syndication rights. So they got tons of airtime in my house.
Nickelodeon for its Nicktoons was common, on top of their Looney Tunes blocks. When KTVI was an ABC station they had the great Saturday lineups that came with it, stuff like Sonic, Reboot and the Real Ghostbusters, etc.
KDNL was a Fox station for a while before the affiliates did a swap, and they got a lot of my time when Tiny Toons, X-Men, Animaniacs and Batman were big. Of course there was any thing Disney Channel had going on, things like their classics, new shows and syndication rights to things like The Raccoons.

Cartoon Network for stuff like Dexters Lab, Ed, Edd and Eddy, Johnny Bravo, DBZ, Powerpuff Girls, I Am Weasel, Cow and Chicken among others.
ABC’s kids block One Saturday Morning with Doug, Recess and Looney Toons.
Fox Kids had great shows like Batman, Animaniacs, Power Rangers, Tiny Toons
I’m leaving out a ton, but these sprung to mind. The mid to late 90’s had so much great stuff.

When I was in elementary school, I was a Cartoon Network kid. Save Kids WB, which is where I watched Pokemon, I was a CN devotee and watched them religiously.
When I was in high school, I became a Disney Channel kid. Even Stevens, Kim Possible, Lizzy Maguire, and That’s So Raven were my go-tos.
