Boomerang was a pan-Asian cable and satellite television channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery under its International division. Like the original US version, this localization first began as a programming block that aired on Cartoon Network Asia (from 2001 to 2005), before becoming its own channel in 2005.
On 1 December 2012, the channel was shut down and replaced with Toonami Asia. Eventually, the channel was relaunched on 1 January 2015 as part of Boomerang's 2015 global rebranding effort, replacing Cartoonito Asia.[1][2]
The channel was replaced by Cartoonito on 28 July 2023. This mark the second time Cartoonito Asia appeared as linear TV channel as other big names, such as Disney Junior and Nick Jr. heading into the streaming portfolio.[3]
