Here's the jist of it:
Headline, "Cartoon Network to End Toonami on October 20 (Updated)"
sub-head, "Programing block ends 11-year run with Naruto as only anime
on schedule"
"America's Cartoon Network has revealed at Georgia's Anime Weekend
Atlanta convention this morning that it will end its Toonami programming
block tonight after 11 years. ... "
Then some stuff that there would be an official announcement Satureday
night, a list of shows that had run on Toonami since 1997, Jetstream
will still be running, and CN is trying to get Demashitaa! Powerpuft
Girls Z.
Did anyone see the "official announcement?" I didn't catch anything
before Bleach. If you did, was it anything worth mentioning?
Just curious.

The official announcement occured right after Samurai Jack's credits
rolled. TOM, in a melancholy voice, announced that, after 11 years,
Toonami was shutting down, with his robot comrades initiating a "final
shutdown sequence" with a 20-second countdown. At the end, TOM thanked
all the fans for their support, said "See you later", and flew off into
the sunset.
TOM's last word: "Bang". Fitting, given TOM's VA and his most famous
anime role. :)

This seems *way* too sudden; notice he said "until we meet again" .

The public didn't even know it until *that day*, at the CN panel at
Anime Weekend Atlanta.
Makes me wonder how long this decision has been in the pipe.

That doesn't sound like something Orochimaru would say...
(C'mon, we all know that "Naruto" is more famous than "Cowboy Bebop".)

True, but if I'm inferring the actor's identity correctly, he's more
famous for playing the Cowboy Bebop role than he is for playing the
Naruto one.
