Spurred on by the success of their weekday Toon in to Me block and their Saturday morning package, which currently is headlined by Woody Woodpecker, Me-TV , through its parent company, Weigel Broadcasting, is launching an all-cartoon channel next month.
Me-TV Toons is set to launch Tuesday, June 25. Weigel is partnering with Warner Bros. Discovery, which helped them with their current blocks on Me-TV, but, based on a grid of characters, Me-TV Toons will feature more recent vintage programs like Dynomutt, Richie Rich, Xiaolin Showdown, Freakazoid!, Baby Looney Tunes, and others that have been ignored by WBD's own toon channels, and left in the vaults.
Think of what Cartoon Network looked like when it launched more than 30 years ago.
And to think this begins just after the kiddo's go on summer vacation. The timing is perfect for them, and older fans, too.
Stay tooned.
Update, 5/29/24: A trailer has been added and MeTV Toons now has its own YouTube channel.

If only WBD cared about Cartoon Network, its talent and new creators this much. Ideally this, combined with original shows which are properly promoted and the people who work on them are properly paid and compensated, is what CN and Max should be.
Exactly. They'd rather outsource their properties to make a few extra bucks that way. But, watch. Me-TV Toons could be what forces them to make changes at Chumptoon Network for the better.
