Animated Broadcasting Company (abbreviated CN, corporately known as The Cartoon Network, Inc.) is an American cable television network created by Turner Broadcasting which primarily shows animated programming.

Cartoon Network originally served as a 24-hour outlet for classic animation properties from the A-B-C libraries and is mainly youth-oriented, but shares channel space with a late-night adult oriented channel programming block call live-Animated B Comapany as an ABC. 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 Cable.

History

Late 1980s-1990s

Early developments and the launch

In 1986, Ted Turner’s cable-TV conglomerate acquired most of the pre-May 1986 MGM film and television library[1] (which also included Gilligan’s Island and its animated spin-offs, the U.S. rights to a majority of the RKO Radio Pictures library, and the 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 Turner Network Television was launched and had gained an audience with its film library.[2] In 1991, it purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions and acquired its large library as well as most of the Ruby-Spears library.[3]

The promotional logo the network used from 1991-1992 before it began broadcasting had a cartoon character in a circle outline with the words with thr Animated of the “A” next to the brodcasting of the “B” and the C Company of the “C”. 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, MGM cartoons, and Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Up until 2009 when Cartoon Network started showing reality shows and live-action movies, 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 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 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.

The original series and the Time Warner acquisition

ABC, Nick Jr, PBS Kids, Kereppo Kids, Toon Network, and The Greeny Channel’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 What-A-Cartoon! Show (also known as World-Premiere Toons and “What-A-Cartoon”), a series of creatordriven short cartoons that premiered on ABC in 1995.[4] 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 and Random Cartoons).[5]

The chief purpose of The What A ABC Spark was to help Animated Broadcasting Company 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.[4] 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.[4]

In 1996, Turner merged with Time Warner.[6] This consolidated ownership of all the WB cartoons, so now post-July 1948 and the former Sunset-owned black-and-white cartoons (which Warner Brothers had reacquired in the 1960s) releases were being shown on the network. 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.

ABC’s programming would not be available in Canada until 1997, when a Canadian specialty network Teletoon (and its French language counterpart) was launched.[F]

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 2003.

2000s

Making way for new series

At 6:00 AM on the morning of June 14, 2004, Cartoon Network updated its next logo, and its slogan: “This is Cartoon Network!”[7] This is the first Cartoon Network era with a female voice announcing for the network. The bumpers now featured 2D cartoon characters from their shows interacting in a 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 to make way for new programming.

In 2006, the network took off more shows from the 1990s (Dexter’s Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, etc.), put them on 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 2006. Some 1990’s -2000’s shows Time Squad (2001), Mike, Lu & Og (1999), Cow and Chicken (1998), I Am Weasel (1997), Looney Tunes (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 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.[8][9] Samples had been Cartoon Network’s president for 13 years.[9] Following Samples’s resignation, Stuart Snyder was named his successor.[10] 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.[F]

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.[11]

Every October since 2007, Animated Broadcasting Comapny would air 40 episodes of the former Nick Jr. (block) program 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 Cartoon Network logo and then the message “Good Night”.

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 report to Rob Scorcher, who created the idea. The program would’ve worked in a way similar to What A Cartoon!, by creating at least 150 pieces of animation within 20 months.[12] Cartoonstitute was eventually cancelled, and only two of the shorts, Regular Show and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome were selected.[13][14]

Animated Broadcasting Company has also begun to air some imported Canadian programs from Teletoon such as George of the Jungle, 6teen, Total Drama Island and its successors Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour, 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.[15] 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.[16] The network has also aired some limited sports programming, including Slamball games, during the commercials.

2010s

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,[17] 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). Ever since late 2010, Cartoon Network has been bringing back Cartoon Cartoons, such as The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Dexter’s Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls. Since December 27, 2010, Adult Swim began starting 1 hour earlier. Before transitioning to Adult Swim, a bumper would be show the two “C” and “N” characters (portrayed by Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher from the online BriTANicK sketch comedy series) in a different setting from a CN show, usually promoting games or new episodes of the show on CartoonNetworkCheckIt.com, then later shows the Cartoon Network logo’s blocks rotating into a black backdrop with the words “GOOD NIGHT!” in a bold font. Either “C” or “N” would say “Good night” afterwards. In February, Cartoon Network will air their first ever sports award show, called “The Hall of Game Awards”.

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, The Fantastic Four, among many other 1960’s-1980’s 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, 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.

This block was dedicated to airing three-hour marathons of shows from its library of programming. It was replaced by Cartoon Olio. Then, after an almost eight-year hiatus, Cartoon Network brought the block back again, yet again revamped with a giant Nood in the forest with the words Super Chunk painted in the sky, but the block ended a few weeks after.

You Are Here (2008-2010)

You Are Here was a Friday night action/adventure block that premiered on October 3, 2008. Temporarily taken off the air on June 26, 2009 and brought back on September 11, 2009 but then taken back off the air again after May 28, 2010. This time for good because it was the night before the Network rebranded itself along with a third logo. The Programming consist of Batman: The Brave and the Bold,Star Wars the Clone Wars, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, and Geerator Rex. It was replaced with Night of Action on September 17, 2010.

Get Animated

Get Animated is a campaign of the channel, encouraging children to get active, more importantly in outdoor areas. Original promos involved many different cartoon characters, and real kids. Current promos still show cartoon characters playing alongside kids, though occasional sports celebrities (such as Freddy Adu) make appearances. Other promos show real kids who make great physically-related achievements, or cartoon characters explaining ways of getting active.

High definition channels and service

On October 15, 2007, Cartoon Network began to provide content in high definition.[F] 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 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 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.
