Boomerang

Boomerang is a 24-hour American cable television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery (formerly Time Warner). Boomerang debuted as a channel on April 1, 2000; it spun off from a Cartoon Network block of the same name that debuted on December 8, 1992.

The channel originally specialized in reruns of animated programming from Time Warner's extensive archives, previously dominant on Cartoon Network, including pre-1986 MGM, Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation, and DePatie-Freleng Enterprises programs, spanning from cartoon shorts of the 1930s and 1940s (usually in color) to repeats of shows which were still in production on Cartoon Network.

The American version of Boomerang was relaunched on January 19, 2015 as part of a global rebrand, focusing on original material based on popular brands in addition to vintage programming.

Since April 11, 2017, the American version of Boomerang also includes a subscription service-based mobile app.

Trivia

• A marathon of The Garfield Show aired on January 19, 2015 (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) to commemorate the beginning of the channel's rebrand.
• The Garfield Show was among the shows featured in the "Pet of the Week" block during the summer of 2015.
• On September 10th, 2019, Boomerang aired "The Horror Hostess Part 1"/"Newsworthy Wade"/"The Horror Hostess Part 2" for Garfield and Friends when "China Cat"/"Cock-a-Doodle Dandy"/"Beach Blanket Bonzo" was expected. This may be due to "China Cat" being pulled from current reruns on television.
