History edit
Launch as Boomerang edit
On 13 April 2016, Turner Broadcasting System Europe announced the launch of Boomerang in Turkey on 23 April 2016, which is Turkey's National Children's Day.[2] The HD channel was launched exclusively on the Tivibu and D-Smart operators in Turkey.[3]
Transition as Cartoonito edit
Originally on 3 December 2018, Cartoonito launched as an afternoon block on Cartoon Network Turkey, airing every day from 12:00 to 3:30 PM local time. However, as part of its global re-introduction, a Cartoonito block also arrived on Boomerang on 5 September 2022.
Boomerang fully transformed into a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 4 September 2023, along with its Nordic/Scandinavian and MENA counterpart.[4]
