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. 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 cartoons that Cartoon Network once aired. The channel has also aired Baby Looney Tunes, and recently The Looney Tunes Show. 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.
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 2016.
Boomerang's YouTube channels
Boomerang has four YouTube channels. In the USA, Boomerang Official USA, in the United Kingdom, Boomerang UK, in Central, South America and Mexico Boomerang Latin America, and in France, Boomerang France. The Boomerang UK and Boomerang France channels frequently upload clips of unreleased Wabbit/New Looney Tunes episodes in the USA.
Boomerang's Streaming Service
On 7 March 2017, Boomerang announced that it will launch an app that will feature programming from the 5000+ titles from Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros., as well as exclusive original programming. The app launched on 11 April 2017, and new episodes and contents are planned to be added weekly. Currently, the Boomerang App is only available for subscription in the United States.
