history

The station first broadcast its program on October 1, 1992; initially obtained from The WB the rights to several television series such as Tom & Jerry Kids , Pinky and the Brain , Captain Planet and ThunderCats . The Hanna Barbera series ( Die Jetsons , Feuerstein family ) were also used from the archives . From 1996 the Cartoon Network Studios produced more and more in-house productions, so-called cartoon cartoons such as Dexter's Laboratory , Johnny Bravo , Cow and Chicken , I Am Weasel and Powerpuff Girls . The television station Boomerang , established in 2000, has specialized in the broadcasting of older series from the repertoire of Hanna Barbera, Warner Bros. and MGM. Some new spin-off series of older cartoons (for example Duck Dodgers or Taz-Mania ) are also shown on Boomerang.

In Germany, based in Munich , Cartoon Network can only be received as an encrypted pay-TV service via cable TV ( Unitymedia , Vodafone Kabel Deutschland , Kabel BW and KabelKiosk ), satellite and IPTV ( Arcor , HanseNet , Deutsche Telekom , Magine TV ). Since August 2007 the station has also been broadcast on satellite via the pay-TV provider arenaSat and since September 1, 2007 it has also been broadcast via the Sky-Welt-Extra-Package from the pay-TV provider Sky Deutschland . In Switzerland, the channel can be received via UPC Switzerland . In Austria, the channel can be received via UPC .

From the end of the 1990s, Cartoon Network included more and more animes in its program; today the station has the largest anime program of all American stations.

Cartoon Network UK & Ireland

In Germany, Cartoon Network UK was free to receive via the Astra satellite for a long time in the 1990s and was also fed into various cable networks. The station was then called Cartoon Network Europe . Cartoon Network UK & Ireland has been encrypted since October 1999 , on the one hand to counter problems with the British pay-TV provider BSkyB , and on the other hand to stop competing with the now numerous country-specific Cartoon Network stations.

Since then, Cartoon Network UK & Ireland can no longer be received in Germany and Austria. In Switzerland, the Cartoon Network France program is broadcast in two-channel sound (French / English) in a few cable networks .
