Cartoonito is a pan-European children's television channel owned by the EMEA sub-division of the international division of Warner Bros. Discovery. It launched on 11 September 2024,[2] following the merger of Cartoonito Portugal and Cartoonito Nordic, which had been in operation since 2023.[3]
History
[edit]Both Cartoonito Portugal and Cartoonito Nordic originated as blocks on Boomerang in 2022, before taking over the channel space in March and September 2023 respectively.

In January 2022, it was announced that a Cartoonito programming block would also come to Boomerang on 1 February 2022.[4][5] 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.[6]
Boomerang Nordic fully transformed into a 24/7 Cartoonito channel on 4 September 2023, along with its Turkey and MENA counterparts.[7]
On 11 September 2024, the channel’s feed merged with Cartoonito Portugal, forming Cartoonito Western Europe.[8]
