Cartoon Network is a European pay television channel broadcast in the Baltic States (except for Latvia), Bulgaria, CIS (except for Russia), Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia. It launched on 1 October 2008 as a separate feed from the Polish feed, and is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery under its International division.

History

[edit]

Before the launch of the channel, Hungary, Romania and Moldova received the Polish feed of Cartoon Network on 30 September 2002, broadcasting in Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and English.

On 4 January 2008, the channel started broadcasting 24 hours a day in Romania.[4] Initially only TV provider Dolce offered the 24h feed. A CEE feed specifically for Romania and Hungary was launched, replacing Cartoon Network Poland on 1 October 2008.

On 1 April 2015, the channel started broadcasting 24 hours a day in Hungary.

Czechia and Slovakia used to receive this feed in English. However, on 20 September 2017, a Czech audio track was added to the channel in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[5] That same year, on 20 October, Cartoon Network started broadcasting 24 hours a day.

On 26 February 2018, the channel launched a high-definition feed.[6] Later, on 15 October, Cartoon Network changed its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9.[citation needed]
