History

On August 9, 1986, Turner Broadcasting System acquired Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer/United Artists. On October 18, Turner forcibly sold back MGM. However, Turner kept much of the film and television library made before May 1986 (including some of the UA library) and formed Turner Entertainment Co. [2] On October 8, 1988, its cable channel Turner Network Television was launched and gained an audience with its extensive film library. [3] In 1991, Turner also purchased the library of animation studio Hanna-Barbera. [4] [5] Ted Turner selected Betty Cohen (then-Senior Vice President of TNT) to devise a network to house these programs. [6] On February 18, 1992, Turner Broadcasting announced its plans to launch Cartoon Network as an outlet for an animation library. [7] On March 12, 1992, The Cartoon Network, Inc. was founded one month after Turner's plan was announced. [1] On October 1, 1992, its namesake TV channel officially launched as the first 24-hour single-genre cable channel with animation as its main theme.

In 1994, Hanna-Barbera's new division Cartoon Network Studios was founded and started production on What a Cartoon! . This show debuted in 1995, offering original animated shorts. In 1996, Cartoon Network aired two preschool programs: Big Bag , a live-action/puppet television program with animated short series produced by Children's Television Workshop, and Small World, which featured animated series aimed at preschoolers imported from foreign countries. Turner Broadcasting System merged with Time Warner, [8] which consolidated/reverted ownership of all the Warner Bros. cartoons. The network could then continue more original productions.

From January 4, 1999, Cartoon Network aired Ed, Edd n Eddy until its finale on November 8, 2009, making it the longest running standalone original series in rank.
