Central and Eastern Europe

[edit]

Cartoonito began as programming block in 2011 targeting preschoolers. It aired weekday mornings and afternoons until 2014, when all Cartoonito programming merged into Boomerang's schedule. On 8 August 2022, it was announced that Cartoonito would be returning to Boomerang CEE as part of the brand's 2021 relaunch.

The block officially returned on 1 September 2022, airing from 8am to 2pm CEST.[4] On 4 January 2023, it was announced that Boomerang CEE would fully rebrand into a dedicated Cartoonito channel on 18 March 2023.[5]

After the decisions, the Czech regulator (RRTV) chose to stop airing the channel in Latvia and changed to the Scandinavian version of Cartoonito, on 17 April 2023 (officially 1 May 2023),[6] but it has long been removed from the cable operator's register in Latvia, in December 2021, because it has not been used by any TV provider in recent years.[3]

Western Europe

[edit]

Nordic countries

[edit]

In January 2022, it was announced that a Cartoonito programming block would also come to Boomerang on 1 February 2022.[7][8] 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.[9]

Boomerang Nordic fully transformed into a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 4 September 2023, along with its Turkey and MENA counterparts.[10]

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

Portugal

[edit]

On 21 February 2022, Cartoonito launched as a morning and afternoon block on Boomerang.[12] Boomerang Portugal would become a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 23 March 2023.[13][14][15]

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