Cartoonito (South Matamah)

Cartoonito is a pre-school television channel in South Matamah, launched on September 4, 2006 as a programming block on CN Too and on May 24, 2007 as a full TV channel. Cartoonito is owned and operated by Turner International South Matamah, and shows programmes aimed at young children under the age of 6 years.

When it was a block on CN Too, it only advertised third-party products in between shows, there was nearly never a time when shows were interrupted by advert breaks.

The channel has a morning theme from its daily startup at 4:00am until 8:00am, and a bedtime theme from 7:00pm until 9:00pm, when it closes down for the day.

2006-present
Cartoonito was originally a programming block on Cartoon Network Too with it airing between 06:00 and 15:00. It started on September 4, 2006 with it airing for the last time (as a block on CN Too) on 23 May 2007 as it got its own channel as a replacement for the original version of Cartoon Network Too. As it was no longer a block on CN Too, it expanded its broadcasting hours to 03:00 until 19:00, timesharing with TCM 2, another spin-off channel from TCM. In addition, the programming block agreements with Cartoon Network Too terminated, which made it 24 hours for the first time as it replaced Toonami as the current version. However, from September 2009 until March 2010, Boomerang gave up its morning programming for a new Cartoonito slot, terminating its 24 hour schedule which had been in place since 2001. In its early years, between 03:00 and 06:00 each morning, it also aired some shows from Cartoon Network Too, Boomerang and sometimes the main Cartoon Network.
