Cartoonito is a pan-European children's television channel owned by the EMEA sub-division of the international division of Warner Bros. Discovery. It launched on 11 September 2024,[1] following the merger of Cartoonito Portugal and Cartoonito Nordic, which had been in operation since 2023.[2]

History

[edit]

Both Cartoonito Portugal and Cartoonito Nordic originated as blocks on Boomerang in 2022, before taking over the channel space in March and September 2023 respectively.

Nordic countries

[edit]

On 19 January 2015, Boomerang Nordic applied the 2014–15 rebrand.[citation needed]

In January 2022, it was announced that a Cartoonito programming block would also come to Boomerang on 1 February 2022.[3][4] Due to the channel changes from 17 April to 1 May 2023, the Czech Radio and Television Broadcasting Council also gave the green light to show the channel in Latvia.[5]

Boomerang Nordic fully transformed into a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 4 September 2023, along with its Turkey and MENA counterparts.[6]

On 11 September 2024, the channel's feed merged with Cartoonito Portugal, forming Cartoonito Western Europe.[1]

Portugal

[edit]

On 21 February 2022, Cartoonito launched as a morning and afternoon block on Boomerang.[7] Boomerang Portugal would become a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 23 March 2023.[8][9][10]

On 11 September 2024, the channel's feed merged with Cartoonito Nordic, forming Cartoonito Western Europe.[1]
