Cartoonito (British and Irish TV channel)

Cartoonito is a British television channel which targets children between the ages of 2 and 6. It is owned and run by Cartoon Network, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Entertainment.

History
Cartoonito was originally a programming block on Cartoon Network Too carried from 06:00 to 15:00. It started on 4 September 2006, replacing the original Cartoon Network Too as a channel in its own right on 24 May 2007 and expanding scheduling from 03:00 to 19:00. Turner Classic Movies 2 took up the remainder of the channel's time (which converted to Turner Classic Movies +1 after 13 August 2013).

On 25 March 2010, Cartoonito was added to Virgin Media. In early 2011, Cartoonito changed its hours to 04:00 until 20:00 (later 21:00), and revamped its early hour schedule with preschool programming. On 15 December 2016, it was added to TalkTalk's television service.

Cartoonito converted to a widescreen presentation after 1 November 2017. The channel moved to a full 24 hour schedule on 15 January 2018.
