From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
MeTV Toons is an upcoming 24-hour cable television channel operated by Weigel Broadcasting Co. in-partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery . Set to launch on June 25, 2024 as a spin-off of MeTV , the network's programming mainly consists of reruns involving vintage animated programming, including a few that aired up until the 2000s, in a similar format to the first few years of Cartoon Network and Boomerang .
The cartoons featured on the main MeTV network in the morning hours, such as Looney Tunes , Merrie Melodies , Tom and Jerry , Popeye and Woody Woodpecker to name a few, will be included. Other classic cartoons not on the block will also be included, such as Scooby-Doo , Yogi Bear and Casper the Friendly Ghost , among many others. MeTV Toons will also air a selection of anime (Speed Racer and Marine Boy ) and programs featuring puppetry (including Thunderbirds , Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Joe 90 ). MeTV Toons will feature original short-form content developed alongside animation historian Jerry Beck , but no new animation will be produced for the network. Bob Bergen , the current voice actor for Porky Pig , is set to be the promotional announcer for the network.
