    I think it is because Pokemon is practically over and Ash is gone.

    I don't know the actual reason, but this is why I think they are shutting Pokémon TV down.

    Pokémon TV uses a service called Limelight Network, currently rebranded as Edgio. Limelight Network is a video hosting service, like YouTube, but is a paid service. Most likely it is becoming expensive for TPCi, so they are shutting down Pokémon TV as a cost cutting way.

    Because Pokemon company is trying to exploit streaming service to their advantage to regain any and all loss.

    If I was in charge of Pokemon anime, I would like to see the anime in Universal kids tv channel let alone cartoon network.
