Boomerang is a cable television channel that launched on 1 April 2000 in the United States, so that the classic cartoons airing on Cartoon Network could have a new home. Originally owned by the Turner Broadcasting System, a now defunct subsidiary of WarnerMedia, the channel is part of Warner Bros., following the redistribution of Turner's assets to other subsidiaries within WarnerMedia, the parent company since March 4, 2019.
Initially, it was just to air the Hanna-Barbera shows, such as Top Cat, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, and some obscure titles, such as Where's Huddles? and The Roman Holidays, but as Cartoon Network slowly started to abandon airing their theatrical cartoon shorts, this channel added all the theatrical shorts that Cartoon Network once aired. The channel has also aired Baby Looney Tunes, Duck Dodgers and recently The Looney Tunes Show and The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries. However, many other Looney Tunes-related shows, including Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and The Looney Tunes Show have aired on Boomerang channels overseas. A couple of the anthology shows that aired on Cartoon Network are occasionally rerun as well.
In the United States, this is the only channel where classic Looney Tunes currently rerun due to Cartoon Network officially dropping Looney Tunes reruns in 2017.
