'''Cartoon Network''' (abbreviated '''CN''', corporately known as '''The Cartoon Network, Inc.''') is an [[United States|American]] [[cable television]] network created by [[Turner Broadcasting System|Turner Broadcasting]] which primarily shows [[animation|animated]] programming.

Cartoon Network originally served as a 24-hour outlet for classic animation properties from the [[Turner Broadcasting System|Turner Broadcasting]] libraries and is mainly youth-oriented, but shares channel space with a late-night adult oriented channel programming block called [[Adult Swim]]. Cartoon Network also broadcasts many shows, ranging from action to cartoon comedy. Since 2003, Cartoon Network began airing a small amount of live-action programming, specifically movies from [[Warner Bros.]] and [[New Line Cinema]], both of which are also owned by [[Time Warner]]. Despite its name, it airs live-action shows.

=== Late 1980s-1990s ===
==== Early developments and the launch ====
[[File:Cartoon Network logo 1992.svg|170px|thumb|left|The original Cartoon Network logo unveiled on April 30, 1992 and used from October 1, 1992 to June 14, 2004. However, the logo is still in legal use at the end of original programs and on the teeth in the Adult Swim skull logo. As of May 29, 2010, a variation using a slightly different font has been used in some of the promotional bumpers.]]

In 1986, [[Ted Turner]]'s cable-TV conglomerate acquired most of the pre-May 1986 [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] film and television library<ref>{{cite web|last=Delugach|first=Al|title=Way Cleared for Turner's MGM Deal|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1986-03-04/business/fi-15193_1_ted-turner|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=August 30, 2010|date=March 4, 1986}}</ref> (which also included ''[[Gilligan's Island]]'' and its animated spin-offs, the U.S. rights to a majority of the [[RKO Pictures|RKO Radio Pictures]] library, and the [[Associated Artists Productions|a.a.p.]] catalog which includes the pre-1950 [[Warner Bros.]] film library, the [[Harman and Ising]] ''[[Merrie Melodies]]'' except ''[[Lady, Play Your Mandolin!]]'', the pre-August 1948 color Warner Bros. cartoons, and the [[Fleischer Studios]] and [[Famous Studios]] ''[[Popeye]]'' cartoons originally released by [[Paramount Pictures]]). In 1988, its cable channel [[TNT (TV channel)|Turner Network Television]] was launched and had gained an audience with its film library.<ref>{{cite web|last=Hall|first=Jane|title=Ted Turner's TNT Exploding Onto the Cable Scene|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1990-01-23/entertainment/ca-744_1_ted-turner-s-cable|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=August 30, 2010|date=January 23, 1990}}</ref> In 1991, it purchased animation studio [[Hanna-Barbera|Hanna-Barbera Productions]] and acquired its large library as well as most of the [[Ruby-Spears Productions|Ruby-Spears]] library.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lippman|first=John|title=Turner Is Buying Hanna-Barbera Film Library|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1991-10-30/business/fi-565_1_film-library|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=August 30, 2010|date=October 30, 1991}}</ref>

The promotional logo the network used from 1991-1992 before it began broadcasting had a cartoon character in a circle outline with the words "CARTOON" above and "NETWORK" below. It was intended to be the first logo, but was cancelled. By October 1, 1992, Cartoon Network was created as an outlet for Turner's considerable library of animation, and the initial programming on the channel consisted exclusively of reruns of classic Warner Bros. cartoons (the pre-August 1948 ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and ''[[Merrie Melodies]]''), the 1933-1957 ''Popeye'' cartoons, [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]] cartoons, and [[Hanna-Barbera]] cartoons. Initially, the channel would broadcast cartoons 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The network's first theme was the ''Checkerboard'' theme with bumpers involving the Cartoon Network's first logo, used from 1992. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio—''Down Wit' Droopy D'' aired old [[Droopy|Droopy Dog]] shorts, ''The [[Tom and Jerry]] Show'' presented the classic cat-and-mouse team, and ''Bugs and Daffy Tonight'' provided classic [[Looney Tunes]] shorts. ''Late Night Black and White'' showed early [[black-and-white]] cartoons (mostly from the [[Fleischer Studios]] and [[Walter Lantz]] cartoons from 1930s), and ''[[ToonHeads]]'', which would show three shorts with a similar theme and provide trivia about the cartoons. There was also an afternoon cartoon block called ''[[High Noon Toons]]'' which was hosted by cowboy hand puppets (an example of the simplicity and imagination the network had in the early years). The majority of the classic animation that was shown on Cartoon Network no longer airs on a regular basis, with the exception of ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' and, as of March 14th 2011, ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.

==== The original series and the Time Warner acquisition ====
The network's first original show was ''[[The Moxy Show]]'' and was first aired in 1993. In 1994, Hanna-Barbera's new division [[Cartoon Network Studios]] was founded and started production on ''[[The Cartoon Cartoon Show|The What-A-Cartoon! Show]]'' (also known as ''World-Premiere Toons'' and "What-A-Cartoon"), a series of creator-driven short cartoons that premiered on Cartoon Network in 1995.<ref name="cartooncartoon">{{cite web|title=What is Cartoon Cartoon?|url=http://www.nickandmore.com/archive/fridays/whatacartoon.html|publisher=Nick and More|accessdate=August 30, 2010|author=Harris, Jeff and Kavalos, Jonathan}}</ref> It was the network's third original series (the second was ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]''). The project was spearheaded by several Cartoon Network executives, plus ''[[The Ren & Stimpy Show]]'' creator [[John Kricfalusi]] (who was an advisor to the network at the time) and [[Fred Seibert]] (who was formerly one of the driving forces behind the [[Nicktoons]], and would go on to produce the similar animation anthology series ''[[Oh Yeah! Cartoons|Oh, Yeah! Cartoons]] and [[Random Cartoons]]'').<ref>{{cite web|last=Strike|first=Joe|title=The Fred Seibert Interview — Part 1|url=http://www.awn.com/articles/people/fred-seibert-interview-part-1|publisher=Animation World Network|accessdate=August 30, 2010|date=July 15, 2003}}</ref>

The chief purpose of The What A Cartoon Show was to help Cartoon Network expand its library of exclusive programming and it introduced a number of new cartoon ideas. Six of them were spun off into their own series runs. These six series, ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' (1996), ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'', ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'' (1997), ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' (1998), ''[[Mike, Lu & Og]]'', and ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'' (1999) became the origins of the network's original cartoons, collectively known as [[Cartoon Cartoons]].<ref name="cartooncartoon"/> ''[[I Am Weasel]]'' (1997) and ''[[Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' (1999) were the first two Cartoon Cartoons not to be introduced in a What A Cartoon short.<ref name="cartooncartoon"/>

In 1996, Turner merged with [[Time Warner]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/23/us/turner-to-merge-into-time-warner-a-7.5-billion-deal.html|title=Turner To Merge Into Time Warner; A $7.5 Billion Deal|author=Lander, Mark|date=September 23, 1995|publisher=The New York Times|accessdate=July 30, 2010}}</ref> This consolidated ownership of all the WB cartoons, so now post-July 1948 and the former [[Sunset Productions|Sunset]]-owned black-and-white cartoons (which Warner Brothers had reacquired in the 1960s) releases were being shown on the network. Although most of the post-July 1948 cartoons were still contracted to be shown on [[Nickelodeon]], the network wouldn't air them until September 1999. Newer animated productions by WB also started appearing on the network—mostly reruns of shows that had aired on [[Kids' WB]], plus certain new programs such as ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]''.

Cartoon Network's programming would not be available in Canada until 1997, when a Canadian specialty network [[Teletoon (Canadian TV channel)|Teletoon]] (and [[Télétoon (Canadian TV channel)|its French language counterpart]]) was launched.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}}

Cartoon Network underwent its makeover in 1997, launching the Powerhouse era until June 13, 2004. The channel used bumpers involving characters from most of the cartoons it aired with the Powerhouse music, or just objects and places with the Cartoon Network's logo at that time. The Checkerboard bumpers were still used at the time between 1997 until 1998. By 1998, the Powerhouse era became the sole identification of Cartoon Network. The Powerhouse music was no longer used starting in 2004.

=== 2000s ===
==== Making way for new series ====
[[File:Cartoon Network 2004-2010 logo.svg|thumb|140px|right|The second Cartoon Network logo used in various forms from June 14, 2004 to May 29, 2010. The new logo is a 2D version of it. However, it is still used in other countries.]]
At 6:00 AM on the morning of June 14, 2004, Cartoon Network debuted its second logo, and its slogan: “This is Cartoon Network!”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsroom/pr/0,20812,670487,00.html|title=Cartoon Network Launches New On-Air Re-face and Supplemental Logo to Kick Off Summer|date=June 28, 2004|publisher=Time Warner|accessdate=August 12, 2010}}</ref> This is the first Cartoon Network era with a female voice announcing for the network. The [[bumper (broadcasting)|bumpers]] now featured [[traditional animation|2D]] cartoon characters from their shows interacting in a [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] city composed of sets from their shows. By now, nearly all of Cartoon Network's classic cartoon programming had been relocated to its sister network [[Boomerang (TV channel)|Boomerang]] to make way for new programming.

On January 1, 2006, the network relegated more shows from the 1990s (''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', etc.), into a 30 minute block called ''[[The Cartoon Cartoon Show]]'' and dropped the CGI City look. They were still seen from time to time and were finally abandoned for good right after the network scrapped the CGI city look on April 20, 2006. Some 1990s -2000s shows ''[[Time Squad]]'' (2001), ''[[Mike, Lu & Og]]'' (1999), ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'', ''[[I Am Weasel]]'' (1997), ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' (1930, first aired on the network in 1992), and ''[[Sheep in the Big City]]'' (2000) were taken off the network completely.

From 2006, Cartoon Network's slogan was a simplistic “Cartoon Network — Yes!,” as spoken by [[List of characters in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy#Fred Fredburger|Fred Fredburger]], a character on ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy]]''. They used a reprise of the 2004 CGI City look, using flat, dark colors, however the city bumpers were still used.

==== Refurbishing ====
Jim Samples, president of the Cartoon Network, resigned on February 9, 2007 due to the [[2007 Boston bomb scare]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/31/boston.bombscare/|title=Two held after ad campaign triggers Boston bomb scare|date=February 1, 2007|publisher=CNN|accessdate=July 30, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Jim Samples">{{cite web|url=http://money.cnn.com/2007/02/09/news/newsmakers/cartoon_network/|title=Cartoon Network Boss Quits Over Bomb Scare|date=February 9, 2007|publisher=CNN|accessdate=May 5, 2009}}</ref> Samples had been Cartoon Network's president for 13 years.<ref name="Jim Samples"/> Following Samples's resignation, Stuart Snyder was named his successor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/110859-Stuart_Snyder_The_Perfect_Combination.php|title=Stuart Snyder: The Perfect Combination|author=Romano, Allison|date=October 21, 2007|publisher=Broadcasting & Cable|accessdate=August 13, 2010}}</ref> Under Snyder's lead, Cartoon Network underwent a number of changes. Through 2007, Cartoon Network retained the image campaign that began in 2006, albeit a slightly refreshed version.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}}

On September 1, 2007, the network look was revamped, and bumpers and station identification were themed to [[The Hives]] song "Fall is Just Something That Grown-Ups Invented", and aired for several months. A month later, on October 15, the channel began broadcasting in 1080i [[High-definition television|high definition]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvweek.com/news/2007/01/nbcu_turner_cnn_to_launch_hd_n.php|title=NBCU, Turner, CNN to Launch HD Networks|author=Hibberd, James|date=January 7, 2007|publisher=TV Week|accessdate=August 13, 2010}}</ref>

Every October since 2007, Cartoon Network would air 40 episodes of the former ''[[Fox Kids]]'' program ''[[Goosebumps (TV series)|Goosebumps]]''. However, after October 31, 2009, Cartoon Network lost the rights to the show and stopped airing the program.

On March 30, 2008, Cartoon Network began airing a [[sign-off]] bumper before Adult Swim, involving a painting the screen black before popping down after hearing an indistinct shout. Previous sign-offs include a kid's typical day from sunrise to sunset with the Cartoon Network logo in the sky and the message, "Good Night, See You Tomorrow." The current sign-off has the clock reading "9:00 PM", the message 'Check Ya Later!', and the Cartoon Network logo.

==== A new direction ====
Cartoon Network announced at its 2008 Upfront that it was working on a new project called ''[[Cartoonstitute]]'', which was headed by animators [[Craig McCracken]] (as executive producer) and [[Rob Renzetti]] (as supervising producer). Both reported to Rob Scorcher, who created the idea. The program would've worked in a way similar to ''[[The Cartoon Cartoon Show|What A Cartoon!]]'', by creating at least 150 pieces of animation within 20 months.<ref name='Toon Zone'>{{cite news | first=Ed | last=Liu |title=PR: Cartoon Network Creates The Cartoonstitute | date=April 3, 2008| publisher=[[Time Warner]] | url =http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=22715 | work =Toon Zone| accessdate = April 5, 2008}}</ref> Cartoonstitute was eventually cancelled, and out of all the shorts, two ''[[Regular Show]]'' and ''[[Secret Mountain Fort Awesome]]'' were selected.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.turner.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=4597|title=Cartoon Network Announces Comedy Animation Greenlights|publisher=Turner Broadcasting|date=August 13, 2009|accessdate=July 31, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://comments.deviantart.com/4/6465375/1085753054|title=Cartoonstitute's Cancellation|publisher=[[deviantArt]]|accessdate=August 14, 2010}}</ref>Cartoon Network has also began to air some imported Canadian programs from [[Teletoon (Canadian TV channel)|Teletoon]] such as ''[[George of the Jungle (2007 TV series)|George of the Jungle]]'', ''[[6teen]]'', ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' and its successors ''[[Total Drama Action]]  and [[Total Drama World Tour]]'',  [[Chaotic (TV series)|''Chaotic'']] and ''[[Bakugan Battle Brawlers]]''. Beginning May 25, 2008, Cartoon Network has been airing animated shorts, called ''Wedgies'', to fill in spots between two programs. On July 14, 2008, the network took on a newer look created by Tristan Eaton and [[Kidrobot]]. The bumpers of that era had white, faceless characters called Noods, based off the DIY toy, [[Munny]].<ref name='thunderblog'>{{cite news|title=TRISTAN EATON for KIDROBOT & CARTOON NETWORK |date=July 21, 2008| publisher=[[Thunderdog]] | url =http://www.thunderblogspot.com/2008/07/21/tristan-eaton-for-kidrobot-cartoon-network/|work=Thunderblog|accessdate= August 26, 2008 |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080822133000/http://www.thunderblogspot.com/2008/07/21/tristan-eaton-for-kidrobot-cartoon-network/ <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = August 22, 2008}}</ref>  The standard network logo was then completely white, adopting different colors based on the occasion in the same style. On June 12, 2009, the [[screen bug]] then turned all black with white letters. In June 2009, a block of live-action reality shows began airing in a programming block promoted as '''CN Real'''.<ref name="CN Real">{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/17/entertainment/et-cartoon-reality17|title=Cartoon Network's new reality shows, kid style|author=Lloyd, Robert|date=June 17, 2009|publisher=Los Angeles Times|accessdate=July 30, 2010}}</ref> The network has also aired some limited sports programming, including [[Slamball]] games, during the commercials.

==== Future changes and new shows ====
A new logo made its television debut on May 29, 2010 at 6:00 AM along with a new theme and new bumpers. The network's current branding, designed by Brand New School,<ref>{{cite web|title=Cartoon Network|url=http://www.brandnewschool.com/project.php?id=751|publisher=Brand New School|accessdate=September 23, 2010}}</ref> makes heavy use of the black and white checkerboard which made up the network's first logo (a variant of that logo is used as part of the current branding). Since December 27, 2010, Adult Swim began starting 1 hour earlier at 9 PM. In February, Cartoon Network aired their first sports award show, called ''[[Hall of Game Awards]]''. At its 2011 upfront, Cartoon Network has announced 13 new series. These series include ''[[The Problem Solverz]]'', which was formerly known as ''Neon Knome'', ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'', ''[[Secret Mountain Fort Awesome]]'', ''[[Level Up]]'', a scripted live-action comedy series which will have a 90-minute starting film, [[Green Lantern]], ''[[How to Train Your Dragon]]'', the series based off the [[How to Train Your Dragon (film)|Dreamworks film]], ''[[The Amazing World of Gumball]]'', ''[[Total Drama: Revenge of the Island]]'', the sequel of ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]''; and ''[[Thundercats#Upcoming Series|Thundercats]]''. The network also has a new ''[[Ben 10]]'' series planned. The network announced a new block planned to air called "DC Nation"; this block will focus on the titular heroes, the first being [[Green Lantern]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Cartoon Network unveils 13 new shows|url=http://www.toonzone.net/news/articles/36712/pr-cartoon-network-upfront-programming-announcements}}</ref>

== Past programming blocks ==
=== Action programming blocks (1992-1997) ===
Cartoon Network had a long history of action-oriented programming blocks. One of the network's first blocks was ''Super Adventures''.

From 1992-1995, '''Super Adventures''' presented action-oriented cartoons like ''[[Space Ghost]]'', ''[[Birdman and the Galaxy Trio|Birdman]]'', ''[[Fantastic Four (1967 TV series)|The Fantastic Four]]'', among many other 1960s-1980s Hanna-Barbera/Ruby-Spears action series. It aired on weekday afternoons, and also had a weekend afternoon counterpart known as "Super Adventure Saturdays".

In 1995, ''Super Adventures'' was replaced with '''Afternoon Adventures''', which presented a more varied mix of old and then-recent action cartoons, such as ''[[James Bond Jr.]]'', ''[[Captain Planet and the Planeteers|Captain Planet]]'', ''[[SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron|SWAT Kats]]'' and ''[[Jonny Quest]]''. That same year, a Saturday late-night block called '''Power Zone''' debuted, which mostly aired the same action shows as its predecessor blocks. ''Power Zone'' would eventually supplant ''Afternoon Adventures'' as the flagship weekday afternoon block in 1996.

"Power Zone" was canceled sometime in the fall of 1996, after which there was no permanent action block on Cartoon Network until the debut of Toonami on March 17, 1997.

=== Toonami (1997-2008) ===
{{Main|Toonami}}

=== ''Saturday CrushZone'' (2009) ===
'''''Saturday CrushZone''''' is a Saturday morning action block that shows ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon DP Galactic Battles]]'', ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', and ''[[Hot Wheels Battle Force 5]]''. The block still airs the same shows, Saturday Crushzone has been replaced by '''''Saturdays'''''.

=== Fried Dynamite (2007-2008) ===
'''''Fried Dynamite''''' premiered on August 31, 2007 on Cartoon Network, replacing ''Fridays''. Fried Dynamite was the Friday-Saturday block of cartoon shows, hosted by Blake Michael, which aired on every Friday night and Saturday morning. It ended October 3, 2008 in the wake of the new block, '''''You Are Here'''''.

=== Fridays (1999-2007) ===
'''''Cartoon Cartoon Fridays''''' was launched on April 30, 1999, and last aired on February 23, 2007. '''''Cartoon Cartoon Fridays''''' was the Friday night version of "Cartoon Cartoons". This program block on Cartoon Network showcased the channel's original cartoon series, with new episode premieres usually taking place in this block. The block was "hosted" by cartoon characters that were part of Cartoon Cartoons shows, usually along with new episodes of their respective shows airing on their corresponding night. The block aired between 7 p.m.-5 a.m., with the shows and segments repeating at least twice. On October 3, 2003, the "Cartoon Cartoons" name was dropped from all Cartoon Network original productions, and the show was renamed '''''Fridays''''', with "Cartoon Cartoons" characters being replaced by live-action hosts. Following the renaming, non-''Cartoon Cartoons'' shows began airing on the block.

=== Cartoon Cartoons (1996-2003) ===
{{Main|Cartoon Cartoons}}
Cartoon Cartoons is a collective name for Cartoon Network original series which premiered before 2003. These cartoons were originally produced by Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network Studios, but over the years, studios like [[a.k.a. Cartoon]], Kino Films, Stretch Films, Blanky Blook and [[Curious Pictures]] produced these series for Cartoon Network. Any and all Cartoon Cartoons have been featured as a part of Cartoon Network's original Friday night programming block, Cartoon Cartoon Fridays.

=== ''Miguzi'' (2004-2007) ===
'''''Miguzi''''' was a cartoon block that premiered on April 19, 2004, and finished its run in June 2007. This block was themed around Erin, a girl who finds refuge within the confines of a strange spaceship that is trapped underwater and inhabited by aquatic creatures. This lighter-toned action block was from [[Williams Street]], the producers of late-night programming block ''[[Adult Swim]]'' and ''[[Toonami]]'', a block of programming which ''Miguzi'' replaced in the weekday-afternoon timeslot.

=== ''Master Control'' (2007) ===
'''''Master Control''''' was a viewer-arranged programming block on Cartoon Network which ran from September 24, 2007 to November 9, 2007. The website for the block offered viewers the chance to choose between one of three teams and vote on which shows would air during the week. The block had one thirty-minute timeslot on Mondays to Thursdays, while a two-hour block aired on Fridays. The three teams available for choosing were the "Blastidons","Vikinators", and "Shadow Mark." The objective was to vote for a certain team, so you could choose the shows that aired. The backstory: The blastidons ruled the lands as powerful Wizards. The Vikinators grew tired of their rule and rebelled. They became victorious and were free. While attempting magic, they created the Shadow Mark, a brotherhood of warlocks focused on dark magic. Now as the three elite races they battle for supremacy.

== High definition channels and service ==
On October 15, 2007, Cartoon Network began to provide content in [[high-definition television|high definition]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} Presently, only the ''East Coast feed'' of Cartoon Network HD ever provides content in high definition formats and the ''West Coast feed'' only provides content in [[SDTV|standard definition]] (4:3) format.

A Cartoon Network HD channel is available from many cable and all satellite service providers. Actual high definition content however, remains limited to a few newer programs. Older [[4:3]] content is [[Stretch-o-Vision|stretched]] to fill a [[16:9]] [[aspect ratio]]. This process results in a warped picture, which is especially apparent during horizontal panning. All programs produced in HD are aired in letterbox on the SD feed.
