Cartoon Network Portugal, commonly abbreviated as CN, was a Portuguese digital cable and satellite television channel launched on 3 December and was owned by Warner Bros. Discovery under its International division.

Cartoon Network (both before and after merging) was the most-watched kids and teens' channel in Portugal, surpassing Disney Channel since 2022.[2]

History

[edit]

The Pan-European feed received in Portugal, Angola and Mozambique was transmitted for a long time (from 17 September 1993 to 3 December 2013), this feed is now Cartoon Network Africa.

The Portuguese-language version of the channel started to broadcast their feed to Angola and Mozambique on 1 October 2013 one month after the Spanish feed closed,[3] coincidentally a few months after Cartoon Network in Spain closed.

On 3 December 2013, the Portuguese channel was officially launched in Portugal on all cable operators, switching from the Pan-European version (in English).[4] at 20:00, broadcasting in 16:9. The Pan-European English feed was removed from the ZON (currently NOS) basic cable service, along with other foreign language international channels on 1 February 2010, and the Portuguese-language Panda Biggs was included in its place.[5]

When the Pan-European feed was still being broadcast, the daily broadcast was 15 hours (from 05:00 to 20:00) in Portugal. During that time, the channel shared time with TNT, focusing on classic movies and professional wrestling, and in its final years, with Turner Classic Movies. Some cable TV operators preferred dividing the two channels with their own channel (some with a description of their opening and closing times). Shortly after the release of Portugal's version of the channel, TCM and Boomerang stopped being aired in Portugal.

Around February 2014, the channel started airing advertisements, but in March 2014, they stopped airing them, returning in the middle of the month.[citation needed]

Cartoon Network Portugal was also the first European CN feed to adopt the CHECK it 3.0 branding.[citation needed]

From 30 May 2014 to 30 March 2017, Cartoon Network used white background graphics. On 31 March 2017, it changed its design to a version based on the US feed's Dimensional branding.[citation needed]

On 26 April 2018, Boomerang Portugal was launched on NOWO and Vodafone. This version had already been launched in Angola and Mozambique on 21 April 2015 and the European channel (English-language) stopped being broadcast when Cartoon Network was launched in Portuguese. Boomerang was later replaced by Cartoonito on March 23, 2023.

The channel begun broadcasting in HD in 2022.

On September 16, 2024, Cartoon Network Portugal begun following the same schedule as Cartoon Network in the Nordics, France, Germany and the Netherlands. On September 25 the unification took a step further as the Portuguese feed was merged with the feeds mentioned above. From now on, these individual feeds have been phased out and the only difference between the broadcast in each country is an exclusive sub feed for local ad breaks.[6]
