Cartoon Network TOO (Web Channel)

Cartoon Network TOO is a web streaming channel that aims to be a nostalgic channel, mainly airing Cartoon Network shows from the 1990's to the early 2010's, in a 24-hour TV-like format.

Founded on February 19, 2018 by Twitter user @BuffaloSabres06, Cartoon Network TOO was meant as a revival of the former Cartoon Network TOO, founded by CartoonNetworkRulzz in 2011. Cartoon Network TOO started out with a CHECK it look, and only had a 7-hour playlist on an uneventful launch day.

At the time of Cartoon Network TOO's arrival, Boomerang Rebirth was the top cartoon stream on the website CyTube. On April 6, 2018, Cartoon Network TOO and Boomerang Rebirth's sister channel, Nicktoons Rebirth would get into a Twitter feud. This would get some eyes on CN TOO, but the stream did not have enough content to sustain an audience.

''Cartoon Network TOO would also launch a second stream that same month, Nickelodeon TOO. This stream would never sustain a good audience, and would be a rather shortly-lived channel, only officially ending for good in 2021, after rebranding into NickRetro in 2020.'' In June of 2018, Boomerang Rebirth would announce its closure, along with the closure of its sister channels, Nicktoons Rebirth and Saturday Morning Rebirth. Around that same month, Cartoon Network TOO would acquire the Boomerang Rebirth and Nicktoons Rebirth library, opening up a whole new catalog of shows. On June 1, 2018, Cartoon Network TOO would rebrand, changing its look to the CN City look, and expanding its playlist to 24 hours worth of content. This would prove to be a step in the right direction, as the City theme was popular with audiences. Several former Boomerang Rebirth team members would join Cartoon Network TOO, and would help it to finally become a solidified stream on CyTube.

Cartoon Network TOO would continue on with the City theme until June 2, 2019, when it was announced that the stream would rebrand again, this time to the Noods theme, and would have more of a focus on the mid 2000's. The stream now had a smaller but still visible audience, due to its advertising on Twitter. This rebrand would not prove to be too successful, and was rather unpopular with the audience. The later months of 2019 would see little maintenance on the channel, and by early 2020, it was clear that Cartoon Network TOO was on a hiatus.

On April 6, 2020, it was announced that Cartoon Network TOO was coming back, while returning to the City theme that was so popular before. This announcement would be very popular, relative to the normal amount of interactions with the stream's account before, gaining 78 retweets and 228 likes. Cartoon Network TOO would update with the City look, and this would be a solid next step for the channel. In May 2020, it was announced that Cartoon Network TOO would be introducing an [adult swim] block for the first time on the channel, airing from 10 PM - 6 AM.

August 2020 would see Cartoon Network TOO announcing the launch of a brand new stream, called Boomerang Throwback, along with expanding their playlist to over 168 hours worth of content. Boomerang Throwback would be introduced to fill the hole left by the closure of Boomerang Rebirth. Cartoon Network TOO would have some of its most successful numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to many being in quarantine.

Boomerang Throwback would finally launch on November 29, 2020, after several delays. Its launch day would not be very popular, but would gain a loyal audience as time went on.

January 2021 would prove to be the final City update for Cartoon Network TOO, as in March 2021, it was announced that the channel would rebrand again, this time returning to the CHECK it 1.0 look, which is debuting in May 2021. It was also announced that [adult swim] too would be launching as its own separate channel, launching on May 3rd.
