History

Atlantic Digital Networks received Category B-exemption from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a television service called "Atlantic Cartoon" in 2014. [1] The channel, now known as Toon-A-Vision, launched on Eastlink cable systems throughout Canada in high definition on June 19, 2018. [2] It was developed in conjunction with Huminah Huminah Animation. [3] On July 15, 2019, Atlantic Digital Networks requested the CRTC transfer the channel to a full license after surpassing the commission's subscriber threshold. [4] Its license was approved on September 1, 2020. [5]

The channel was added to Bell Satellite TV and Bell Fibe on December 5, 2019. [6] Cogeco launched the channel on its platforms on April 22, 2020. [7]
