This is because CLANNAD is basically a show destined for "otaku".
In japan, midnight-ish time slot doesn't exactly mean its content has anything to do with ero, low budget or so. Basically, this kind of show are not really worthing prime time slots, which are obviously reserved for mainstream shows (shounen and such) while usual pogram take the biggest chunk (news, etc).
This is basically the "fate" of all anime series that aren't mainstream (so shounen destined for the large public) and such.
Most people don't really have an issue with that considering they simply record it etc.
