History

In early 2000s, Boomerang was a morning and a Monday evening block on Cartoon Network France.

The channel was launched on 23 April 2003 in TPS and cable providers. [1] [2]

On 23 February 2010, Boomerang +1 was launched on SFR. [3] It joined Orange in January 2013, [4] then on Free and Bouygues Telecom in August 2014, [5] [6] and finally on Numericable on 14 April 2016.

In 2010-2011, Boomerang switched its focus from classic programming [7] to recent shows, taking away all cult licences from Cartoon Network (except Scooby-Doo! at the time). The channel took the slogan « la chaîne des personnages cultes du dessin animé », airing new shows such as Looney Tunes Show and The Garfield Show , and other shows for preschoolers.

Boomerang continued to carry classic shows ( Looney Tunes , Tom and Jerry , The Pink Panther ) on the Ça boom ! evening block. The block was completely pulled off on 3 July 2020.

Since September 2013, Boomerang broadcast in 16:9. Boomerang was launched in HD on 1 July 2015.
