K-Toon was a German pay-TV broadcaster that began broadcasting on July 28, 1996 at 8:00 p.m. The station was licensed by the Bavarian State Center for New Media (BLM), which was also the supervisory state media authority for the channel. A permit issued by the BLM Media Council on October 14, 1999 provided for eight years of broadcasting until October 31, 2007. A notification of approval was issued on November 2, 1999.
distribution
The nationwide program in the evenings, which was initially only receivable via DF1 , shared the frequency with Junior , who showed his program from 6:00 to 20:00. From October 1, 1999, after the merger of DF1 and Premiere into Premiere World, the program, meanwhile with a new design, could be received at Premiere World on a common frequency with Junior. On April 1, 2003 at 6:00 am, K-Toon merged with Junior and thus disappeared completely from the German television network. From then on, Junior's program could be received 24 hours a day, but this step was revised on January 1, 2008.
program
The broadcaster's program consisted entirely of animated series of all kinds, there was no specific target group. The proportion of programs broadcast in German premieres was rather low. Many programs were instead taken from the program of z. B. Sat.1 , RTL or other channels. In addition to the free TV channel Nickelodeon , K-Toon shone classics like Aaahh !!! Monster , Rocko's modern life , Ren & Stimpy or Die Biber Brüder also went beyond the discontinuation of the German Nickelodeon offshoot. Some programs that ran on the then free-to-air English-language Cartoon Network were also broadcast, such as The Mask , Tom & Jerry , Dexter's Laboratory or Cow & Chicken . In addition, some adult cartoons were shown in the program, e.g. B. Beavis and Butt-Head . Some programs have so far only been broadcast on pay TV and sometimes only found their way into K-Toon's programming, some of them, after K-Toon's discontinuation, into Junior's evening programming.
