The channel initially launched on 17 September 1993 as a larger pan-European feed, serving the UK market along with Western and Northern Europe.[10][11][12]In August 1999, the pan-European aspect of Cartoon Network Europe was spun-off as a new feed with an identical schedule to Cartoon Network UK (the former pan-European feed).[13]Cartoon Network UK completely ceased being a pan-European feed on 15 October 1999, which was when it was scrambled with Videocrypt and the launch of the UK only version of TNT. The pan-European feed continued to shadow Cartoon Network UK's schedule until 2001. The pan-European feed excluded shows such asDragon Ball ZandAngela Anacondaand were substituted, as Cartoon Network did not have the pan-European broadcasting rights to these shows, only the rights for the UK and the Netherlands.[14]

History

edit

Pre-launch

edit

In October 1992, theoriginal Cartoon Network channelwas launched inAtlanta, Georgiain theUS.Cartoon Network was created in response of Turner Entertainment acquiringMGM's animation library in 1986 and the acquisition of theHanna-Barberaanimation studio and cartoon library in 1991. As a result of Turner purchasing MGM's Cartoon and Film library, Warner Bros. pre-1948 content was also acquired, including earlyLooney TunesandMerrie Melodiesshorts.[15]At launch in the United States, Cartoon Network had an 8,500-hour cartoon library,[16]and it became the first channel dedicated to cartoons. In April 1993, Cartoon Network expanded into foreign markets by launching aLatin Americanversion of Cartoon Network dubbed in both Spanish, Portuguese and English. Cartoon Network's large animation library was in high demand in Western Europe[12]and as a response to consumer demand,Astra 1C,the satellite on which Cartoon Network broadcast on, was launched in May 1993 on board anAriane 42Lrocket from Kourou, French Guiana. Cartoon Network Europe was launched on 17 September 1993, broadcasting from London. It launched only less than 12 months after the original American version and only 16 days afterNickelodeon.[17]

Launch (1993–1999)

Cartoon Network originally timeshared withTNTand broadcast from 5:00AM until 7:00PM,[18]with TNT broadcast during the channel’s downtime from 7:00PM to 5:00AM. Sunday afternoons saw "Super Chunk", which showed back to back episodes of one show for two hours between 1pm and 3pm.[19]Another feature was "The Longest Day", in which Cartoon Network ran for an extra four hours until 11:00PM in June 1994, every year beginning in 1994.[20][21]This slot was dedicated to full-length cartoon movies. The first theme was theCheckerboardtheme, which showed graphics from its US counterpart and lasted until 1999. The Checkerboard branding package was developed by Hatmaker Studios,[22]now merged and part of its sister company - Corey, McPherson and Nash.[23][24]Also unlike Nickelodeon, which was part ofSky Multichannels,Cartoon Network wasfree-to-airacross Europe.[17]

Introduction of 24-hour service

edit

In September 1996, Cartoon Network began running for an extra two hours until 9:00PM, and in December 1996,[13]along with TNT, it became a 24-hour channel. The full time version was only available on theAstra 1Gsatellite as the timesharing version of the channel continued to appear on analogue platforms, including on all providers in the UK.[citation needed]In December 1998, Cartoon Network launched as part of theSky Digitalsatellite platform on theAstra 2Asatellite.[13]Also, in February 1997, Dutch cable provider A2000/KTA added the 24-hour Cartoon Network and TNT channels to its programming lineup.[13]

From 15 November 1998, Cartoon Network was part ofITV Digital's channel package, airing 24 hours a day until the service collapsed on 1 May 2002.[13][25]

Separation from Pan-European version

edit

In October 1999, Cartoon Network officially split from the pan-European feed, this was when the shared transponder analogue feed on Astra 1C became scrambled withVideoCryptand when the short-lived analogue UK and Ireland only version of TNT launched. Prior to this date, the European version of Cartoon Network moved toSirius IIto serve Central Europe in August 1999 and the French and Spanish version launched at the same time the same month, leaving the ex pan-European version on Astra 1C acting as a de facto free to air secondary/transitional European feed for countries preparing to switchover to their own newly launched local versions of Cartoon Network up until encryption in October 1999. TNT changed its programming from classic movies to general entertainment as the movies were moved to TCM, TNT UK ceased to exist in July 2000 and was replaced by an analogue version of TCM. During the late 90s and the early 2000s, Turner Entertainment Networks International started localising their channels to suit different audiences across different countries around Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Post-pan European split

edit

After the pan-European split, Cartoon Network revamped on 15 October 1999 with the launch of a unique and more intensive variant of the "Powerhouse" theme which had shapes and tiles with lines and footage of characters from various shows shown on Cartoon Network. This lasted until 1 September 2002 in the UK and was used throughout Europe on 30 September 2002. The European version of Powerhouse was produced by now-defunct London based animation and design studio AMGFX.[26][27][28]A DJ theme was used during theAKA Cartoon Networkprogramming block, bumpers include a live-action DJ scratching a record, which affects the playback of a cartoon clip.[29]

On 30 June 2001, the analogue feed on Astra 1C of Cartoon Network and TCM ceased broadcasting. Sky's analogue service would later fully shut down on 27 September that year.[30]

On 11 April 2005, after it was introduced in the United States, Cartoon Network adopted the CN City era until 23 May 2007.

Current events

edit

On 24 May 2007, Cartoon Network changed its branding to a similar look to ones used during 1999 to 2005, this branding was known as the Arrow Era. There were also alternate Arrow Era idents designed by the design studio, Stardust, which had a 3D style, rather than the 2D style used by the other Arrow Era idents. The British and Irish version of Cartoon Network used both 2D and 3D Arrow Era idents, while other Cartoon Network channels that used the Arrow Era usually either used only one. This branding lasted until 26 September 2010.[citation needed]

A variation of the network's current logo which resembles its original logo, used as of 2011.

On 27 September 2010, the British version of Cartoon Network introduced its current branding and logo while Cartoon Network Too continued to use the Arrow era until 2012 and the 2004 logo was still used as the network's production logo until 24 May 2007. Designed by Brand New School, it makes heavy use of a black and white checkerboard motif, as well as various CMYK colour variations and patterns. This branding had been introduced earlier in the American version on 29 May 2010.[33][34]The DOG was moved from the top right corner to the bottom right corner, like in the United States.

On 1 April 2014, Cartoon Network's DOG moved back to the top-right corner and a new Next banner using graphics from the Check It 3.0. branding package was introduced. Also during the same month,Cartoon Network Tooclosed down and was replaced by a reinstated one-hour timeshift service called Cartoon Network +1, which closed down on 5 March 2006. Cartoon Network's Check It 3.0 was fully implemented on Cartoon Network on 21 July 2014 for the official start of the school summer holidays in the UK,Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzualso premiered on the channel on the same day.[35]In November 2015, Cartoon Network launched their anti-bullying campaign in conjunction withChildlinecalled Cartoon Network Buddy Network.[36]

After nearly two years of the Laughternoons programming block was replaced by Mega Mondays on 14 April 2014,[37]Laughternoons returned to Cartoon Network for a short period in January 2016.[38][39]Mega Mondays was the name of Cartoon Network's new episodes programming block for three years before being discontinued in July 2017. It was replaced with New Fridays in March 2018.[40]

In October 2015, Cartoon Network launched their own localised version of the Cartoon Network Anything app, featuring short-form content such as mini-games and video-clips.[41]In February 2016, Cartoon Network used graphics from the Check It 4.0 branding package for the first time on a new episode promo forTransformers: Robots in Disguise.[42]On 22 July 2016, Cartoon Network fully rebranded using graphics from the Check It 4.0 branding package.[43]In April 2016, Cartoon Network signed a deal with Sky for exclusive on-demand boxset rights for a selection of its animated shows.[44]In November 2016, Cartoon Network won twoPromaxBDA UKawards for their Where's Ice King and Weetabix Weetabuddies television campaigns.[45]On 21 July 2017, Cartoon Network fully rebranded using graphics from the Dimensional 1.0 branding package.[46]In April 2019, Cartoon Network UK's website was hacked, with a Gumball video replaced with an Arabic meme video.[47]

On 18 November 2020, WarnerMedia was granted a Czech (RRTV) broadcasting licence for Cartoon Network UK and Ireland, entitledCartoon Network Eire,with the reason being to ensure continued legal carriage of Cartoon Network UK in the Republic of Ireland and Malta in accordance with the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and single market law following theUK's withdrawal from the European Union.Like the UK, the Czech Republic has minimal broadcasting regulations and was chosen for EU licensing purposes as WarnerMedia'sHBOhad substantial operations located in the country. Editorially, the channel is still managed from Cartoon Network's offices at WarnerMedia's EMEA headquarters in London.[48]

Original scheduling

edit

When Cartoon Network initially launched, its schedule was mainly made up of short cartoons from bothWarner Bros.and other studios, such asLooney Tunes,Merrie MelodiesandTom and Jerry.A few years after, it started to broadcast its own programming such asThe Powerpuff GirlsandDexter's Laboratory.Eventually, most of Cartoon Network's acquired programming was shifted to the sidelines, with the company's original animated series taking up the majority of Cartoon Network's timeslots.[citation needed]

Programming blocks

edit

In September 2000,Toonamibegan broadcasting weekdays for two hours between 4pm until 6pm, and from 9pm until 11pm, as well as weekends from 10am until noon and 10pm until midnight.Dragonball Zhad already been airing on Cartoon Network since March 2000, and had been attracting very good ratings, which may have contributed to the decision to launch Toonami in the UK. Its output consisted almost solely of Japanese anime such as the cultDragonball Z,Tenchi Muyo,andGundam Wing.The only non-Japanese shows for quite some time wereThe Real Adventures of Jonny QuestandBatman Beyond.As time went on, Toonami started to shift away from Japanese anime and action programming, eventually morphing intoCN Too.[citation needed]

Around the same time, there was almost completely new programming on the channel, and soBoomerangbegan in a late night slot; it ultimately branched off into its own channel after the block was discontinued.[citation needed]

From February 2012 until July 2017, Cartoon Network shifted its major night of premieres to Monday evenings, under the names "Meaty Mondays", and as of April 2014 "Mega Mondays". Additionally, the block's name would change to "Mince Pie Mondays" every December, sporting a more festive look and airing Christmas specials to boot. In May 2014, a much smaller Friday variety block, titled "Funsize Fridays" was launched. This block only ran for around 2014, and consisted of playing "a different show every fifteen minutes". The shows featured in the block wereAdventure Time,The Amazing World of Gumball,Clarence,Johnny Test,Regular Show,Steven Universe,Teen Titans Go!,andUncle Grandpa.Only one of these shows would air new episodes in this block, passing the baton to a different show monthly.[citation needed]

Eventually, both of these blocks were discontinued, and Cartoon Network was completely devoid of programming blocks for some time. However, in March 2018, a brand new Friday night premiere block launched, under the simple name "New Fridays".[49]The block aired on Friday nights from 4pm to 9pm, and it was based upon the United States feed's "NEW NEW NEW NEW" block, carrying the same neon light branding from its international counterpart. Despite only lasting around four months, the block had a large variety of shows rotating in and out of premiere slots, includingAdventure Time,The Amazing World of Gumball,Ben 10,Clarence,Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,Mighty Magiswords,Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu,OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes,The Powerpuff Girls,Regular Show,Steven Universe,Supernoobs,Teen Titans Go!,We Bare Bears,Uncle Grandpa,andUnikitty!.The Canadian importWishfartalso had its premiere and new episodes restricted to the block. In July 2018, the block was discontinued unexpectedly.[citation needed]

edit
Main article:Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe

Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe (formerly Cartoon Network Studios Europe, Great Malbrough Productions, Inc. & Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe) is based in Shoreditch, London, located three miles away from Turner EMEA's headquarters.[59]The studio was named after Great Marlborough Street where Turner Europe, Middle East and Africa's headquarters is located. The studio is the European equivalent toCartoon Network Studiosbased inBurbank, California,USA. The studio was founded in 2007 and in 2011 it produced its first show,The Amazing World of Gumball,[60]created byBen Bocquelet.Cartoon Network Europe has also been involved in other co-productions in the past such asThe Cramp Twins,Fat Dog Mendoza,Robotboy,Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated,Elfy Food,The Happos Family,[61]Hero 108,Spaced Out,VBirds,Cult Toons,Taffy,[62]Best Ed,Chop Socky Chooks,SkatoonyandThe Heroic Quest of the Valiant Prince Ivandoe.[63]The studio has also produced animation for theMalaria No Moreorganisation.[citation needed]Originally, the studio's main focus was to produce animated shorts that could potentially become animated shows, this changed when production ofThe Amazing World of Gumballmoved fromBoulder Mediaand Dandelion Studios and went in-house with Studio Soi offering support. In September 2018, Cartoon Network Studios Europe's London-based studio will start production on a new animated show,Elliott from Earth.[64] (As of July 2018)

2006 power outage

edit

On the night of 26–27 July 2006, Cartoon Network, along with its sister channels suffered a major technical fault due to a power cut in Soho, London, owing to the2006 European heatwave,with thunderstorms taking full force overnight.

The power cut caused a mix up of Turner Broadcasting System Europe channels (i.e. Cartoon Network being broadcast on Boomerang and Toonami, with Boomerang being broadcast on Cartoon Network Too). Boomerang +1 was off air for some time, while TCM reverted between TCM France and other programming during the times it was able to provide a service.

TCM 2 remained unaffected due to its downtime of timesharing. Most advertising was suspended and several of the channel websites were offline also. Those who could still receive the channels had a backup transmission played out, making people confused when Cartoon Network Too and Boomerang were showing episodes of The Flintstones at the same time. These backups where played out with a scrolling message which said "We apologise for the disruption to this programme due to technical problems and we are trying to correct the fault. We will resume normal programming as soon as possible" in multiple languages.

Whilst most channels returned to the air within 5–10 minutes, it took longer for Cartoon Network Too to resume programming and it was also joked on various animation based forums by Toonami UK viewers, many of whom have made note of their disdain for the direction in which Turner took the brand in the UK, that the backup transmission was more entertaining, purely due to the lack of live action programming aired during the outage.

The idents on Toonami which aired between shows during the black-out displayed the message "Sorry! Toonami is broken, we'll be right back as soon as we fix it.". These idents have since been re-used in disclaimers warning viewers not to try stunts on various shows at home.

Animated shorts

edit

The studio has also produced animated shorts. Animated shorts produced by the studio include The Furry Pals, Mutant Moments, Hamshanks and the Himalolly Railway, Elliot's Zoo, Pinky Malinky and Verne on Vacation. The shorts were showcased in a similar way toCartoonstituteby the American version of Cartoon Network. The videos were available to watch on the Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe YouTube channel which has since closed.[65]
