Teletoon at Night was a late night programming block that aired on Teletoon. It primarily carried adult animation and other programming targeting teen and adult audiences.
Teletoon had carried programming targeting teen and adult audiences during the prime time and late night hours since its inception. The channel eventually established formal brands for such programming—The Detour on Teletoon and Teletoon Unleashed—Between 2001 and 2002; by 2004, the "Unleashed" block was dropped.
Teletoon at Night was similar in format to Adult Swim, the night time block of Cartoon Network from which Teletoon acquired most of its programming. A Canadian version of Adult Swim was launched as the late night block of the newly-launched Canadian Cartoon Network channel in 2012. The two blocks initially operated in parallel, however, most of Adult Swim's programming would eventually migrate to the Canadian block. Teletoon at Night's acquired content would then re-focus on non-Adult Swim series; including animated sitcoms and films telecasts.
In 2019, the block was discontinued; it was succeeded by the newly-launched Adult Swim channel. The block's French counterpart, Télétoon la nuit, continues to air on Télétoon.[1]
