Because it has to prove itself first to warrant Nickelodeon changing it. On the corporate end, it's no different than a season renewal, which means keeping current time slot as that's where the current audience expects it and it's been performing to expectations there.

If the show proves itself a ratings large increase, then it'll be marketed and elevated accordingly. But as of right now, due to the sentai footage available, nothing in Beast Morphers would warrant an immediate change in time slots. Content is still comparable to normal power rangers, so it'd maintain the normal power rangers time slot as that's where current demographics expect it.

Any larger change won't happen until it warrants it by content or valid reason on a full season(s) scale. Which as of right now, Beast Morphers using Go-buster footage isn't that. And any footage adapted that would warrant it, hasn't been made on Toei's end as yet. Everything up to Lupin X Pat adapted would still be same time slot. It's the audience demographic reasons, and that time slot is good for that demographic.

So it really more depends on what Hasbro plans for the 30th, and what they talk to Toei about making for the 30th on footage or original footage they make for that. Or whatever the show after Lupin X Pat is. The archived footage for now doesn't support a move at least through Lupin X Pat footage and below. Unknown for anything after, because anything after has yet to be made.

Expecting that all of a sudden it'll go teen or more adult oriented when the footage library has had no impact by the transition is foolhardy and expecting too much too fast.

So for now, outside of specials and anniversary things, or first episode premieres, maybe finales, don't expect any large changes.

The only other reason that may change is if Beast Morphers ends up being one long anniversary style show, then maybe. But that seems unlikely, and previously when Super MegaForce was that, they still didn't change the time slot, but did schedule in special episodes and a finale at key times for the wider audience appeal, much like this is doing for this one.
