It isn't wholly (or even mostly) about reaching a wider audience. It's about giving shows that would otherwise never be aired a chance to be seen. I can think of many examples without even trying - Sarai-ya Goyou, Hourou Musuko and Natsuyuki Rendzvous are just the first that pop into my mind - of shows that would almost assuredly never have been made if NoitaminA didn't exist. And that makes its demise a small-t tragedy in the narrow focus of the anime universe.
No new content in Spring pretty much means the end. There's always the possibility of a miracle, but the odds are stacked against it.

Now if you're referring to Koji Yamamoto (who eventually became chief producer), then yeah, he's more interested in creating unique shows that defy expectations. However, that wasn't the actual purpose of the block, and some of his programming decisions bothered production studios. Quote:

For those who don't know, "troll charts" are designed to look similar to a seasonal anime lineup, but only contains what /a/ thinks would make it in a particular season in the future. They're so-called "troll charts" because they tend to troll people into "keeping their hopes up that <insert favorite anime series here> would get an anime series or another season, etc. Initially, people thought that some anime series would never get an anime because of several factors, and has appeared in a few troll charts as well. however, over the course of time, the same series that made it to a troll chart eventually gets an anime series announcement. (Cue the shitstorms about Rozen Maiden getting another anime after a loooooong time.) I think even josei media have a chance for an adaptation. It may look slim, but that's simply how the competition in getting a anime works. Quote:

Yeah it was, but the block still had the highest ratings when they aired shows with cross appeal between josei and general audiences, case in point Nodame &co. As Yamamoto himself pointed out on numerous occasions, Noitamina's success was tied to original manga's popularity. Now that popular manga are few and far between, Noitamina had to switch to other types of adaptations, and now to originals.

I was pretty shocked when I saw there wouldn't be any new shows for spring/ Weren't there rumors about the Spring Noitamina shows being Space Dandy and an untitled A-1 mecha show? I wonder are they being pushed back to summer or if they're not really Noitamina shows after all.

Rumors of Noitamina's demise may be premature since it turns out they'll be airing Silver Spoon later this year. Considering it was one of the top selling manga last year, it should be profitable for them, and it's not a huge departure the way Guilty Crown and PsychoPass are.

But what Utsuro no Hako means is it doesn't really feel like a traditional NoitaminA show and I agree. I think Silver Spoon fits the block much more. But now I wonder how long the series will be. The manga is a weekly but NoitaminA series are generally only 1 or 2 cours.

Silver Spoon? Sounds good. Now we just need that Sangatsu no Lion announcement to go with it, in whatever season it starts airing. I mean, if the point was to make good adaptations of famous manga that would work for both fans and the general audience, what's taking them so long? I realize that, before, the manga might've been lacking material, but I'm fairly certain you could make at least a first season of Sangatsu with what's out there by now.
Oh well, here's hoping. I don't always love everything noitaminA airs, but frankly, it'd be a big waste to see it go. For every BRS or AnoHana we got, the block also gave us Mononoke and Honey and Clover, which were incredibly good shows.

But then Honey & Clover was lucky enough to get a full adaption, maybe they are waiting for that for this series too. On another note I don't really think Ano Hana & BRS are that comparable.

As for BRS and Ano Hana, don't mean any disrespect to the fans (of which there are a lot), but it never worked for me. Often times I just found the reasoning (and actions) of the characters very hard to believe, and the whole melodramatic feel didn't click with me either. BRS... well, no comments. At least the action was okay, I guess?

I think BRS and Guilty Crown would be the two better paired series for ones that really did not belong on the block. But perhaps this is just my bias against these series talking. As for series that could have fit NoitaminA I think Chihayafuru would have been perfect for the block, but I am actually glad it's not there because we never would have gotten 50 episodes of it.

And yes, I would go even farther and say ANoHana and BRS are in no way whatsoever comparable as NoitaminA fodder or otherwise. They're both anime - that's as far as it goes.
