Boing is a French pay television channel aimed at children and teenagers, which launched on 8 April 2010.[1]

History

Boing was launched on 3 April 2010 as a block on Gulli and as a channel on 8 April 2010.[2]

Its programming consisted of reruns from Cartoon Network shows. While Cartoon Network is exclusively on Canalsat and cable, Boing was available on ISPs. Boing joined Numericable on 18 August 2011 and Canalsat on 15 September 2011.

Between 3 September 2011 to 5 July 2013, Boing carried a Cartoonito-branded block.

On 10 January 2023, the channel ceased broadcasting on Canal+ following the failure of renewal negotiations for the Warner channels.[3][4]

On 2 February 2023, it was announced that Boing would be replaced by Cartoonito as a channel on 3 April.[5][6][7]

Programming

Its programming targets a family audience, with reruns of Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Toonami, and films. The majority of Cartoon Network's Warner Bros. Discovery International acquisitions airs on Boing, while Cartoon Network France focuses on Cartoon Network Originals. Boing France co-producted some French shows (Zorro, the Chronicles, Chronokids, Miss Moon) and made a mini-series: JuMo.
