Turners Broadcasting's Toonami France Expanding To Africa In French And English Languages For The Whole Audience

Turner, a family entertainment channel provider, has launched a new animation channel to boost its current children’s entertainment offering. The introduction of Toonami reinforces the organisation’s portfolio of successful kids’ channels which includes Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Boing across various African markets.
Toonami was launched successfully in France last week, and is currently being rolled-out to other select European markets and French-speaking African countries. During March, the channel is scheduled to launch on the following pay-TV platforms: Maroc Telecom in Morocco, Blueline in Madagascar and on Parabole on the Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, Comores and Madagascar. It is also lined up as a channel on Gabon Telecom once this new operator launches in the country.
Turner is currently in discussions with various pay-TV operators across the continent to bring the new channel to all English-speaking territories in Africa too.
Pierre Branco, vice president and general manager of Turner Southern Europe and Africa, says: “We are pleased with the addition of Toonami to the bouquet of channels aimed at our younger audiences, as it further diversifies our robust entertainment experience and programme offering across age groups. The new channel promises to meet the growing demand for premium quality action- adventure and superhero content.
“The channel’s launch reflects the value of pay-TV and its evolution. With its clear positioning and strong franchising connections, it is our job to select the best shows, to editorialise them and to share them with audiences of all ages across our markets.”
Turner has achieved success with Cartoon Network and Boomerang, which ranked first and second respectively among kids’ TV brands across Africa. In addition the company was the recipient of the ‘coolest brand among kids’ accolade from the Generation Next 2015 survey. It is anticipated that the addition of Toonami will further strengthen this position, as the broadcaster seeks to negotiate further deals across the African continent.
“Toonami has been described as the ‘ultimate home of the superhero’ and is targeted at kids between the ages of eight and 12. The 24-hour programming line- up, jam-packed with top-rated adventure series, is the go-to destination for action and animation enthusiasts of all ages,” comments Branco.
Programmes include such popular franchises as DC Comics’ Batman and Superman, as well as, The Green Lantern and The Justice League among others. Other animated superheroes loved by the younger audiences, such as Ben 10 and
Thundercats have also been added to the schedule. The branded Toonami Movies block will screen a host of animated feature films that showcase even more of the popular superheroes’ heroic acts and deeds.
“As the uptake for the channel grows in the targeted markets, a slate of exciting new programmes will be added to the line-up as acquisition deals are confirmed and signed,” concludes Branco.

How Cartoon Network Died And Rouse From The Grave

Cartoon Network was the perfect destination to be for the entire family offering the best in family programs for girls and boys. Elected as the number one kids channel for the entire family.

List of programmes which no longer air on the channel in some regions:
Dexter Laboratory
Ed Edd'n Eddy
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
Courage the cowardly dog
Codename Kids Next Door
The Cramp Twins
Evil Con Carne
Chop Socky Chocks
Skunk Fu
The Powerpuff Girls (1996)

Samurai Jack

In 2010 Cartoon Network rebranded and 2012-2013 started afresh by cancelling some of their beloved series and focus on new and enriching series which share interest in more boys and few girls. At that time all those who watched Cartoon Network years ago became teens and adults that mourn over the channel while some still watch the channel often like me and keep up-to-date with what's hip and happening.

List of a few programs currently airs:
Mixels Shorts
Adventure Time
Supernoobs
Regular Show
We Bare Bears
Nexo Knights
Total Drama World Tour (TDWT)-onwards franchise
Mighty Magiswords Shorts
The Amazing World of Gumball
Uncle Grandpa
Ninjago Masters Of Spinjitzu
Steven Universe
Clarence
Ben 10 (2017)
The Powerpuff Girls (2016)
Justice League Action
Teen Titans GO!

The good thing about this tragedy is that Cartoon Network opened up to a whole new audience and got them to feel the magic of Cartoon Network and the opportunities the channel holds and the imagination kids from around the world helt.

Apologize to those who feel offended by this article.

In loving memory of these part of Cartoon Network

KaBoom Announces Ongoing 'Over The Garden Wall' Series

This April, Boom Studios ‘ all-ages imprint KaBoom is launching Over The Garden Wall as an ongoing series, written by Jim Campbell and show writer Amalia Levari, with art by Campbell and Cara McGee. Over the Garden
Wall began life as an animated miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network, which led to a one-shot tie-in comic from Kaboom, which led in turn to a comic miniseries, and now this ongoing book. Over the Garden Wall ‘s original focus was on Wirt and Greg, two brothers who are trying to find their way home from a forest called the Unknown. As of the new series, the scope has expanded far beyond that, featuring stories of
other characters who live within the Unknown, as well as Wirt and Greg’s experiences after making it home. This series will be the first part of the Over the Garden Wall franchise that doesn’t feature writing from series creator Patrick McHale. However, Jim Campbell collaborated with McHale on the previous Garden Wall comics, while his co-writer Amalia Levari comes directly from the animated series, so it seems unlikely that things will drift very far from McHale’s original vision. The plan is for each issue of the new series to feature two complete stories. The first issue will tell the story of Anna, a woodsman’s daughter who must learn to survive the
Unknown. It also features a story about Wirt and Greg, who have left the Unknown behind, except that maybe they haven’t really left the Unknown behind at all. Incentive variant cover by Veronica Fish

Samurai Jack To Return In 2016 On...

Samurai Jack To Return On Adult Swim USA In 2016 If you grew up watching Cartoon Network in the early-to-mid noughties you’ve may have of heard of Genndy Tartakovsky’s action-packed animated show, Samurai Jack. The show is returning in 2016 but not on Cartoon Network but rather on Adult Swim as part of the Toonami programming block, this may be because of multiple reasons, first of all, it’s an action show so it suits the action block perfectly, second, the show has a much more adult feel and third, the show’s original audience are now adults. Creator and executive producer Genndy Tartakovsky has returned to Cartoon Network Studios to get production of the new series off the ground after it was greenlighted. Next year, we’ll get to see more amazing adventures with Jack and the story will continue from where the series left off.
